Biografi
( frå websida som er på engelsk )
In a short
period of time Mira Craig has become one of the most successful
artists in Norway. After two hit singles, her debut album "Mira
Mira" was released January 2006, to marvelous critics, top
chart positions and it has soon sold to gold. She won "Newcomer
of the year" at the annual Alarm awards and performed at other
at other big award shows like Nordic Music Awards and Spelleman
Awards.
Mira Craig was declared a musical
genius by the Norwegian press for her urban, exotic and worldwide
mixed sound. It's filled with voodoo, witch hunts, snake charmers
and headhunters manifested in crunk, bounce, r&b, hip hop, keiso,
soca, dancehall, and Norwegian and Japanese folk music. She steps in
beats and makes samples with her voice, sings high and seductive and
low and ruff. The album has a diverse and original sound that she
describes as dreamy tribal.
Mira Craig has already impressed
big stars like Wyclef Jean and Snoop Dogg. She sang a duet with
Wyclef at the Quarts festival in 2001, supported Fugees on their
recent European Tour, and she recorded a song with Snoop Dogg on his
"Welcome to the chuuch - Da Album" that was released
worldwide in December 2005. Snoop Dogg even used one of Mira's own
songs on the compilation. A song called "Dinner in Bed".
The multitalented artist not only
writes and produces her own songs, she designs her own clothes, does
her own artwork and videos, makes all her dance choreography, and is
releasing her album through her own record company, Homemade Records.
She is a very intelligent and successful business woman indeed.
Mira Craig is half Norwegian,
half American. She is mixed, half black and half white. Her musical
path started already as a young child and by the age of 12 she
worked as a singer and actress for a year in a youth television show
(á la the Mickey Mouse club) for the national public broadcasting
company NRK. At the age of 15 she had started writing songs and she
signed a contract with a management and went on tour with a known
Norwegian recording artist. Ever since then she has been working
with music, films and clothing design.
She has had a big hit in Trinidad
and Tobago and she is currently releasing her third single in Norway
and her first single in Sweden. She is also starting the production
of her new clothing line. Look out for this girl!
