Miriam Chemmoss

Multi-talented artist Miriam Chemmoss hails from East-Africa. She spent her formative years between Tanzania and Kenya where she was steeped in a potent brew of her family’s diverse African, European and Middle-Eastern cultural heritage.

As a teen, Miriam was involved in theater and music programs in every school she attended - close to 10 schools - as a result of frequent relocation due to her father’s military career. It is this unusual background and diversity that would give Miriam the discipline and confidence to enter both solo and choral competitions during national drama and music festivals in Kenya.

In 1998 Miriam was awarded a full scholarship by Waldorf College, a liberal arts school in Forest City, Iowa. She studied Theater/Music and Media Studies (Print, Electronic and Digital), which prepared her well for the performance arts scene in Washington, DC, where she would later move to, in 2001 upon graduation.

Over the last two years, Miriam has recorded a new album and is currently planning her second, highly-anticipated release. Her music, much like her cultural heritage is a fusion of many sounds; it beautifully blends Afro-pop, Reggae, R&B, Hip-Hop, Soul, Rumba and Zouk, giving her a wide musical audience.

When she is not performing on stage, in films or recording music, she's writing a motivational book series and advocating holistic wellness, environmental responsibility and peaceful co-existence via her websites, videos and blogs.
