Preterito Perfeito Featuring mimismooth/Mental Abstrato

mimismooth

Tokyo born multi faceted vocalist  mimismooth
At a young age was introduced to her dad's Soul and Jazz records that provided inspiration to search for her own style.
Joined in her later teen a Hip Hop& R&B.
A passion for travel and a borderless spirit has always fed a keen interest in ethnic music and vocal styles, in particular Indian and Arab music.
Recently moving to Shanghai has led her to discover the strong Art Deco history of a city once known as the "Paris of the Far East" and falling in love with jazz and in particular Gypsy Jazz.
Her high pitched voice moves around the scales freely as she improvises sensual melodies.
Her keen interest in many cultures brings her a unique blend of styles that fits a wide range of genres with a particular "signature"
She does not have a conventional Jazz voice, does not have a conventional R&B voice, does not have a conventional Soul voice yet her style is her own and her talent is undoubtedly unique.
