Bio
Miranda Gil is an 18-year-old Mexican/American singer and songwriter based in the Music Capital of the World, Austin, TX. Miranda discovered her gift of song at the tender age of nine through imitation of her idols Whitney Houston, Etta James and Donna Summer in their soulful ballads. Around the same time, the Tejano singer Selena was gaining worldwide attention as a crossover Mexican/American artist breaking into mainstream music. Unfortunately, Selena’s life and fruitful career was cut short but the path she had begun to pave for Latinos in America opened up an avenue for other artists to follow. Seeing this, Miranda decided to follow her dreams and fine-tune her God-given talent of song. She began to work with regional vocal trainers including West Coast R&B/Blues veteran, LZ Love. LZ took Miranda under her wing and became her mentor, enriching Miranda with a sound much older and richer than ever before. This was a major turning point in Miranda’s life; with her new unearthing of such a powerful and soulful voice she began recording her own music and created her debut EP, Take It or Leave It produced by The Action Figures and co-written by Brandon “Gutta” Williams. Along with her newly released EP, Miranda embarked on a live tour across Central Texas. During this time, Miranda was introduced to local legend and musical engineering prodigy, Shawn Dell. Their creative personas and hardworking attitudes were an instant match, they shared the same vision of mainstream success through music the world over could relate to. Together they have released several local hit records and are working on Miranda’s debut album, My Turn, set to release in 2013. For Miranda Gil, this is only the beginning of an eminent career in the music industry. Join her in her voyage from hidden gem to worldwide sensation as she brings joy to the world through each and every one of her songs.
