Biography

“Miiesha holds multitudes – she is a movement” - Cyclone Wehner - NME The incredible voice and storytelling of Miiesha returns as soulful and heartbreaking as ever in her new single “Damaged”. “Damaged is my most personal song yet, and the most painful for me. It is a song about the broken relationship I have with my mother, and how much I have wanted it to heal, and how much I have tried to fix it, only to find myself hurting more.” - Miiesha From the small Aboriginal community of Woorabinda, Australia, Miiesha arrived on the RnB landscape with a sound and a story that instantly demanded attention. A strong, proud Anangu/Torres Strait Islander woman, Miiesha (Pronounced My-ee-sha) released her debut collection of songs entitled Nyaaringu in 2020. Meaning ‘what happened’ in Pitjantjatjara language, Nyaaringu explores the stories and the strength Miiesha inherited from her late Grandmother, whose interludes narrate the project. Since its release, Nyaaringu has garnered critical acclaim, receiving the 2020 ARIA for Best Soul/RnB Release, 4 QMAs, a NIMA, and went on to top multiple Album of the Year lists. With a voice that showcases vulnerability and strength, often in the one breath, Miiesha weaves together the personal and political so tightly, the listener begins to understand just how inseparable they are for a young Aboriginal woman. Miiesha uses her music to bring people together to help educate and inspire. Her story is not just worth hearing, it’s needed.
