Bio

This ambitious and versatile young Lady is no stranger to hard work and dedication. Born on July 4th in Mount Vernon, NY. Coming from a large musical multicultural Jamaican family background, the mere toddler known then as Robin Burnett, demonstrated an immediate focus on music. Her mother describes how, “it was an amazing thing to see her baby light up and harmonize with her whenever she sang to her”. It is no surprise why her father went ahead and purchased her first keyboard while she was still in her crib! At the tender age of 3 this self-taught pianist was making a name for herself by writing songs on the piano and singing and playing the piano anywhere she saw a piano. She also performed at NY area talent shows and events. Her first big talent competition came at age of 6, where she captured 1st place for performing an original song entitled “Banana” at the Doles Center in Mount Vernon, NY.
Growing up Miraj was exposed to all different styles of vocal and dance music including Classic Rock and Roll, American, and Jamaican/ West Indian music of the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.  In elementary & middle school she had arranged and wrote songs for choir as well as learned the clarinet. By the time she went to Ursuline in New Rochelle, NY for high school she was introduced to musical production and sound engineering. She took part in singing in Ursuline school events and organizing songs there as well. In college, Miraj took up University Chorus, Vocal Jazz, and Opera Workshop, as well as organizing, producing and performing in a concert attended by over 200 people. She also financed and built a state of the art personal home studio to work on her and her clients projects and completed her debut album Musical Prism under the name Miraj, which featured original music, as well as in collaboration with fellow producers, writers, and guest Artists. She has taken a firm hold on her career by studying the musical and studio engineering aspects of the industry and adapting them to her repertoire. She went on to attain her masters degree from Five Towns College in Recording Technology. With 10 years of professional vocal training, 3 years of professional acting training, 10 years of professional training in Tap, Ballet, Jazz and Interpretive dance, 22 years of Classical and Jazz piano training, and 1 year of playing the guitar and bass guitar, Miraj has grown as vocalist, musician, songwriter, and performer.

Her growing list of performances include Broadway Babes (1987), numerous times as a wedding performer, soloist at the Community Church at the Circle (1988-2002), 2nd Place Winner at Talent America National Competition Manhattan, NY (2003), and performances in shows and showcases from 1983 to the Present including for BET at the Women of Reggae Show, and the Salvation Army Katrina benefit show performing with the band Blacksmith. In addition to this, she has also performed at NY area clubs including Club T, Remote Lounge, Waltz-Astoria Club, the famed Sugar Bar, and at the China Club in Times Square where she opened up for Funk Master Flex.

Miraj has been professionally trained to sing in Italian, German, French, English and Spanish. She can imitate British, Caribbean, African, Asian, Spanish, & Russian Accents as well Domestic Accents in the United States including but not limited to Valley, NY, Southern, & Bostonian.
