A GENRE-BENDING 80s VIBE
Originally fronting harder-rocking Sighs Five and Secret Service on the 80s NYC club scene, Mirana had videos featured on MTV and airplay on NYC rock and college radio nationwide. Co-owner of downtown's Soundspace Studio, she also recorded at Electric Lady and opened for top musical acts at the legendary Bottom Line. Now Boston-based, TOT’s sound evolved into a more keyboard-based mix critics have called “a blueprint of how to combine disparate genres into one cogent sound.” Mirana has shared tales from inside that NYC scene, as well as her new and older music, in multiple on-air and online interviews.
AWARD-WINNING SCREENWRITER, AUTHOR, PUBLISHED POET
Mirana has won multiple screenwriting competitions and is currently pitching a TV series pilot. The granddaughter of the late Lost Generation writer and journalist Konrad Bercovici — author of, among other things, the original screenplay for Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator” — she edited and wrote the foreword for “The Algonquin Round Table” for SUNY last year, from his unpublished manuscript she discovered. She has been featured on multiple podcasts, radio stations and publications, including WOMR, the Washington Post and WABC-NY, discussing family work and her own. She is also a published poet in literary journals across the country and hosts a monthly writers’ group at Boston’s Midway Studios.
PHOTOGRAPHS IN MUSEUM COLLECTIONS
Raised in a family with three generations of artists, Mirana has exhibited and curated shows of family work and her own photographs at Lincoln Center, Pfizer, Pen and Brush, the National Arts Club and multiple galleries in NYC, Boston and Provincetown. She was a 1st place winner at the prestigious Spider Black-and-White Competition, and is in the collections of the 9/11 Memorial Museum and the New-York Historical Society.
