Mimi Page

Page's original music blends ethereal vocals with piano-driven, atmospheric soundscapes.{{cite web |url=http://bammagazine.com/index.php/blogs/52-mc2/197-electronica |title=e(lectronica) |publisher=Bammagazine.com |accessdate=June 16, 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130602114328/http://bammagazine.com/index.php/blogs/52-mc2/197-electronica |archivedate=June 2, 2013 }} She attributes her ethereal sound to her use of reverb, delay, and layering techniques in post production. Page's primary instruments are the piano and synthesizer with production and beat creation in Logic Pro.{{cite web|url=http://www.bmi.com/affiliate/C6167 |title=Mimi Page | Roster |publisher=BMI.com |date= |accessdate=June 16, 2012}}

Mimi Page was born in Los Angeles on February 2, 1987.{{cite web|url=http://www.californiabirthindex.org/birth/mimi_page_sieradzki_born_1987_18229274 |title=Mimi Page Sieradzki |publisher=California Birth Index}} Page was raised by her mother Cheryl Clark, a "triple threat" dancer who performed and toured in acclaimed Broadway shows Chicago, A Chorus Line and Pippin.{{cite web|url=http://ibdb.com/person.php?id=77893|title=Cheryl Clark |publisher=Internet Broadway Database}}{{cite web|first=Miller|last=Marley|url=http://www.millermarley.com/Bios-Alumni/MM-Alumni-ClarkCheryl.shtml|title=Bios |publisher=Miller Marley}} From age 2–5, Page accompanied her mother on multiple international tours. On her early years, Page reflects; "We pretty much lived as nomads in hotels and on the tour bus. I'd rehearse her lines with her which helped me learn how to read. I attribute a lot of my creativity to my childhood as I was constantly surrounded by music and dancing."{{cite web |url=http://wobbleheadmusicpress.com/home/mimipage.html |title=Mimipage |accessdate=January 12, 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140112040027/http://wobbleheadmusicpress.com/home/mimipage.html |archivedate=January 12, 2014 }} Page then relocated to a suburban area of Las Vegas to begin grade school and attain a stable living environment. At age 5, she began composing on the piano.{{cite web|first=Mike|last=Stark|url=http://spinbridge.com/video/mimipage/ |title=Mimi Page Live on LA Radio Sessions |publisher=SpinBridge |date= |accessdate=January 5, 2012}} At age 11, Page returned to Los Angeles. At 16, she transferred to the Alexander Hamilton Music Academy to pursue her training on the piano. She continued to compose instrumental music, but concealed her desire to sing due to shyness. Page shifted her artistic focus dramatically when discovering the Electronic Music program at the school. After learning to digitally record and manipulate her vocals in class, Page began recording and producing her own original music. During her senior year of high school Page self-released a collection of the songs recorded in her class and publicly shared them on Myspace.{{cite web|first=Betty|last=Davenport|url=http://www.coolgrrrls.com/2012/05/30/mimi-page/ |title=Interview With Mimi Page |publisher=Cool Grrrls |date= |accessdate=May 30, 2012}} In 2006, Page attended college at the University of California, Santa Cruz to further her studies in Composition and Electronic Music. In 2007 she left the university and moved to Hollywood to study recording engineering at Musician's Institute. On the shift of studies, Page says "I wanted to get away from the formal structure of classical music and learn more of the techniques of recording. It's really tough when you’re an up and coming artist to afford studio time, so I wanted to be able to cheaply build my own studio and produce my own albums."{{cite web|first=Betty|last=Davenport|url=http://www.coolgrrrls.com/2012/05/30/mimi-page/ |title=Interview With Mimi Page |publisher=Cool Grrrls |date= |accessdate=May 30, 2012}} During this time, Page continued to upload original music through Myspace, YouTube, and Facebook, which were all recorded and produced in her studio apartment.

After submitting her demos to multiple radio stations, Page gained airplay on Sirius/XM Chill and Soma FM Lush with several of her unreleased songs. May 2010 Page digitally self-released her first EP A Lullaby for the Lonely through CD Baby (which originally included singles "New" and "Come What May"). In August she released two additional singles, "Gravity" and "This Fire". MTV's The Real World licensed "This Fire" in an episode which launched the song to No. 11 on iTunes and No. 1 on Amazon.com's electronic charts. Page was then approached by bass music record label Simplify. Recordings and offered a one-album deal for a remix album for her songs off of "A Lullaby For The Lonely" and given two options; to be remixed exclusively by the label's top producers, or host a remix contest and allow both established and novice producers to submit. Page chose to throw the remix contest and made her vocal stems downloadable to the public for a limited time.{{cite web|url=http://grime-syndicate.com/post/3766531045/harmonious-heartbeats-remix-contest|title=Harmonious HeartBeats Remix Contest|publisher=Grime Syndicate|accessdate=March 20, 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140101095716/http://grime-syndicate.com/post/3766531045/harmonious-heartbeats-remix-contest|archivedate=January 1, 2014}} As a result, multiple EDM Blogs promoted the contest and hundreds of entries were received. Both Page and the label chose the top 12 and on June 8, 2011, the album "Harmonious Heartbeats" was released.{{cite web|url=http://simplifyrecordings.com/mimi-page-harmonious-heartbeats-lp-remix-contest-official-release/ |title=Mimi Page Harmonious HeartBEATS |publisher=Simplify. Recordings |date= |accessdate=June 5, 2011}} Following the album release, Page proceeded to collaborate on original material with several of the remixers on "Harmonious Heartbeats". In July 2011, a collaboration between Page and Shotgun Radio titled "A Bad Place" was independently released. Simplify. Recordings offered a second remix album deal for the single.

Page then teamed up with Warren Huart to finish her full-length record Breathe Me In. Originally intended for another self-release, Page funded the album production with fan donations through Kickstarter.com.{{cite web|url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mimipage/mimi-pages-debut-full-length-record |title=Mimi Page's debut full length record by Mimi Page — Kickstarter |publisher=Kickstarter.com |date= |accessdate=June 16, 2012}} In August 2011, she was offered a distribution deal for Breathe Me In by record label Gonzo Multimedia (the umbrella company of Voice Print Records). To anticipate the album, Gonzo Multimedia re-released "This Fire" on a new EP on December 1, 2011. On February 14, 2012, Breathe Me In was released on Gonzo Multimedia's new imprint Hunter Records.{{cite web|url=http://www.gonzomultimedia.com/news_story/1182 |title=Press Release |publisher=Gonzo Multimedia |date=October 27, 2011 |accessdate=June 16, 2012}} The album received positive reviews in the music blogosphere. Stereo Subversion magazine describes Breathe Me In as "a potent mix of sultry down tempo numbers, emotional pop-tronica, and thought-provoking ballads. Her vocals draw you in like a tractor beam, and the musical variety is downright dizzying."{{cite web |url=http://stereosubversion.com/reviews/mimi-page-breathe-me-in |title=Mimi Page – Breathe Me In |work=Stereo Subversion |date=October 14, 2011 |accessdate=June 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222053237/http://stereosubversion.com/reviews/mimi-page-breathe-me-in |archive-date=December 22, 2017 |url-status=dead }} The Indie Times notes "Page's haunting, yet sensual vocals keep you fixated with each song you hear."{{cite web |url=http://www.theindietimes.com/2012/04/music-review-mimi-page-breathe-me-in/ |title=Music Review: Mimi Page ~ Breathe Me In |work=The Indie Times |accessdate=June 16, 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120507020213/http://www.theindietimes.com/2012/04/music-review-mimi-page-breathe-me-in/ |archivedate=May 7, 2012 }} Electronic Music Blog "The Untz" ranked her No. 2 on their list of "Top 15 Producers with Pipes."{{cite web |first=Jordan |last=Calvano |url=http://www.theuntz.com/top-15-producers-with-pipes-page-3 |title=Top 15 Producers With Pipes |publisher=TheUntz.com |date=January 13, 2013 |accessdate=June 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023011202/http://www.theuntz.com/top-15-producers-with-pipes-page-3 |archive-date=October 23, 2013 |url-status=dead }}

Page's music garnered the attention of Zak Bagans, creator and star of Travel Channel's series Ghost Adventures, and was invited to write an original song for his show. Page recorded and produced an original song titled "Requiem" which has since been used as a recurring theme in multiple episodes of season 7 and season 8, most notably in the "New Orleans" episode which centered around the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. She additionally appeared as a guest investigator in season 7's "The Glen Tavern Inn" episode and accompanied actress Brit Morgan, Zak Bagans, and the rest of the cast for an overnight "lockdown" of the haunted hotel.{{cite web |first=Melissa |last=Hayer |url=http://blog.newsok.com/television/2013/03/27/true-bloods-brit-morgan-and-singersongwriter-mimi-page-guest-star-on-ghost-adventures/ |title="True Blood's" Brit Morgan and singer/songwriter Mimi Page guest star on "Ghost Adventures" |publisher=NewsOK.com |date=March 27, 2013 |accessdate=March 27, 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130419085948/http://blog.newsok.com/television/2013/03/27/true-bloods-brit-morgan-and-singersongwriter-mimi-page-guest-star-on-ghost-adventures/ |archive-date=April 19, 2013 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web|first=April|last=Neale|url=http://www.monstersandcritics.com/smallscreen/news/article_1713582.php/Brit-Morgan-Mimi-Page-join-Ghost-Adventures-crew|title=Brit Morgan, Mimi Page join 'Ghost Adventures' crew|publisher=Monsters and Critics|date=March 27, 2013|accessdate=March 27, 2013|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130330022822/http://www.monstersandcritics.com/smallscreen/news/article_1713582.php/Brit-Morgan-Mimi-Page-join-Ghost-Adventures-crew|archivedate=March 30, 2013}} In March 2013, she self-released the Requiem EP featuring "Requiem" and a new original song, "Treading the Abyss", which gained airplay on Sirius/XM Chill.
