MIRAN.DA

Miranda Green, a local artist from Wollongong, shares her journey into music and her creative process in a recent interview. Green describes her early love for artistic expression, which evolved into a passion for music, particularly in the electronic genre. She emphasizes the freedom she experiences when producing her own work, blending electronic sounds with acoustic elements. Her favorite production to date is "Gimme Time," which showcases her dedication to mixing and mastering her music.

The conversation also touches on Green's experiences performing with other artists, including Flynn Putts, and her participation in a university jam competition, which helped her overcome stage fright. She reflects on the importance of political themes in her music, asserting that artists have a responsibility to convey their values through their work. Green's songwriting process involves drawing inspiration from her past writings and crafting lyrics that resonate with her experiences.

While discussing her recent performance at the Yours and Ours festival, Green expresses both gratitude for the opportunity and disappointment regarding the event's accessibility issues for artists and attendees with disabilities. She advocates for better regulations around smoking and vaping in venues to ensure a more inclusive environment for all performers and audience members. Looking ahead, Green plans to release a mixtape that captures her artistic vision and character, highlighting her growth as a musician.

MIRAN. DA is a fusion-pop act from Wollongong. The underground movement she's cultivating marks an intersection of politics, culture and the DIY aesthetic, shifting focus away from the Sydney scene, down to the growing creative hub that is Wollongong.

She and her collaborators experiment with basement recordings, abstracted instruments and live to electronic production. Balancing skill and imperfection, her husky vocals have the grannies reaching for their tea and the granddads rocking.

Inspired by the sounds of Amy Winehouse and Kali Uchis, while worshipping the audacity of artists like Kendrick Lamar to be political, she strives to share a philosophical take on life as a young person fighting for justice in a turbulent, unjust world.
