Singer-songwriter, Min'z (pronounced as min-zee), is a 21-year-old who channels her thoughts and emotions into inspirational and soul-tugging words.

:
Take those words and put them into compositions which carry her very own trade-mark, featuring non-traditional structures, at times adventurous chord progressions and always come with an unexpected twist.

:
Imagine these songs delivered with a spine-tingling voice of sheer unlimited versatility, with dynamics covering the entire range from a tender whisper to banshee-like shrieks and you will get an idea what it is to experience this bundle of energy in a true-to-its-word ‘live’-performance.

:
Her debut-EP ‘Charcoaled Firefly’ (2010) is taking this approach a step further. Min'z presents 8 original tracks with her voice being the centre-point within an enormous variety of aural landscapes. Once she is surrounded by sweet-sounding acoustic instruments (Tomatoes, Sore, Caught Between), guitar-lines running backwards (Are We), next embedded in strange ambient noises and other-worldly choirs (Lies). The listening experience is topped by ‘Fear’, a song driven by a relentless rhythm-machinery and marked by heavily processed guitars and voices; a show-case for goth/industrial rock at its best.

:
Scrambling for comparisons from the international stage, names like Damien Rice, Tori Amos and Dido come to mind. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this straight-shooting new artist presenting herself and her music in a performance far off the mainstream.
