Based in Montreal and originally from Kosovo, Mimoza H is an independent autodidact singer/songwriter/multi-genre producer whose music has been described as “unique, intense and mysterious”.
She is praised for a strong distinct voice enriched with a melancholy and delivered in a peculiar elegiac singing style. Her artistic approach (often compared to that of Björk, Wildbirds and Peacedrums, PJ Harvey, and Portishead), embodies an introspective journey of stories woven from her imagination and personal tumultuous life experiences.
In September 2016, Mimoza H released her debut EP titled ‘Uproot’ to some great audience reaction and music reviews in Canada, Quebec and Eastern Europe granting her “Artist to Watch” remarks from CBC Canada Premiere. Since her EP, she has released a few singles and is set to release new music off her second EP in 2020.
She is a gifted lyricist and she carefully ’paints’ with words that are abstract and image-driven yet meaningful as they convey a raw emotion enveloped by a wide sonic spectrum of organic sounds webbed into electronics delivering a blend of styles between alternative, psych-pop, art-rock, and ethereal wave. At times bursting and eclectic, her music is a timeless experience fusing the reminiscent past with a breeze of an avant-garde drawing influences from artists she admires: Dead Can Dance, Kate Bush, Björk, Fever Ray, Roisin Murphy, Goldfrapp, PJ Harvey, Lhasa de Sela, Nick Cave, Ana Calvi, The Cure, Chinawoman, Bowie, Trentemoller, Lamb, as well as Southern Albanian music.
