Mimi O`Bonsawin

Mimi O’Bonsawin
There is beautiful land and water that embrace you
in Northern Ontario, add that with the family warmth of
a French Canadian/Native heritage and you will find the
core of Mimi and the songs that are inspired by her love
of Mother Earth and mankind.
It is rare to find something one of a kind in a time where
we often feel that it’s all been done, but Mimi is just
that. When you see her you know it. Red dreadlocks
and a sense of style that could echo any decade from
the 30’s to the present day. When you hear her sultry,
soulful voice you sense the spirits of the artistic giants
she has been drawn to all of her 21 years: Bob Marley,
Janis Joplin, Buffy St. Marie to name but a few. Mimi has
absorbed their lessons through endless hours spent
with hundreds of vinyl LPs, but she never crosses the
line into imitation.
Her first self-titled debut CD is a collection of songs that
are brand new, and at the same time classic. With two
video/single releases of songs from the first CD, ‘Brave’
and ‘Pedalin’ getting radio coverage, Mimi is currently in
preparation for her second CD offering of new original
songs with plans for the new release, major touring and
promotional campaigns yet to be announced.
Her own songs are rich with her love of the
northern Ontario landscapes she grew up with,
and alive with her aboriginal (Abenaki) roots
as well as the music and traditions of her French
Canadian heritage.
New Music from an Old Soul.
There is no other way to say it - Mimi is Mimi.
