Miri started pursuing music aged 16, before going on to produce beats and sound arrangements for MCs and other vocalists. Now an experienced songwriter and singer has been making her way up in today’s music industry for over a decade, not only producing her own music, but co-writing, performing with and supporting many other well-known music artists. Her songs are a mixture of alternative pop, soul and indie music with husky and unique vocals and has been compared to those of Feist and Macy Gray. Her debut album ‘Canvas’ was produced by Beverly Knight’s bass player, Paul Bruce and Monty Joseph from Qton Productions. Two of the tracks were co-written with Cocknbullkid. Before and during producing ‘Canvas,’ Miri’s voice has taken her to perform at a variety of venues including The Jazz Café in London, Dingwalls, The Bull & Gate, Water Rats, Madam Jo Jo’s, Candy Bar, and a township in South Africa.

MIRI debuted with the hip-hop idol group Rhymeberry in 2012, as MC MIRI. As of 2016, she is the only remaining original member in the group. She released her first solo album, '"hiphop" to Nanottemo Ii Desu ka' (Is it OK to call this "hip-hop"?) in 2016, featuring a mixture of old-school jazzy sounds and darker trap. While Rhymeberry's lyrics were initially written by the producer (E-TICKET PRODUCTIONS), MIRI has recently taken a more active role in the creation of the group's lyrics. She became a hot topic after dissing the hip-hop idol group lyrical school during a rap battle, a decision which drew both positive and negative reactions from fans of hip-hop and idols. Together with Hachigatsu-chan of the alternative rock idol group Oyasumi Hologram, she also performs in a duo called 8mm (pronounced "Hachi-miri"). 3.
