She studied production and music composition at Universidad Católica Argentina for a year, then packed up and moved to California, United States to pursue an education at the Los Angeles

College of Music. There, she studied under respected music artists and professors, and took lessons from famous musician Martin C. Hurt. After college studies she toured with the group Y La Bamba and sang in Barcelona with Andres Lasso.

Mimi Rose has been involved in songwriting sessions with Warner Chapell Latin and Saban Music Group and has co-written music with Andrekza, the first latina artist to be signed onto legendary DJ and producer Steve Aoki’s new Latin music label, Dim Mak En Fuego. She has also collaborated with the artists Marie Monti, Fran Silva, Leli Hernandez, PYM, Erubey De Anda, Ignacio Val, Menend, and Dragon Rojo. Mimi Rose is featured as one of the main songwriters for the official opening song Dosis De Mi for Premios Juventud, an awards show presented by Univision each year that celebrates Hispanic and Latino American celebrities.

Mimi Rose has just released a new song and video titled Unstable. You’re invited to watch the video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUq9eGeWtVo. Let’s chat with Mimi Rose and get to know her better.

William Jackson: Who is Mimi Rose? Mimi Rose: I describe myself as someone who feels intensely and turns her emotions into music. Creating makes me so passionate.

William: Share more details about your path to the music industry. Mimi Rose: I don’t really remember “getting into the industry”, it’s been something I’ve known all my life. As long as I can remember, I’ve been dancing, singing, and writing songs, so it’s always been there.

William: Do you play any instruments? Mimi Rose: I play piano, guitar, bass, ukelele, harmonica, and I studied violin for eight years, but as I’ve not played it in some time, I’m not sure it counts anymore.

William: If you could collaborate with any artist who would it be? Mimi Rose: There are so many talented people doing their thing in the music industry. I’d love to collaborate with Lennon Stella, she’s such an inspiration to me. And, there’s Julia Michaels for whom I’d love to collaborate and write a song.

William: What is your perspective on the topic of fame? Mimi Rose: I believe an improper view of fame can change people and often not for the better. People shouldn’t eagerly pursue fame. In fact, if you’re in the music industry just to be famous, you’ve chosen the wrong path. Fame should be a byproduct of your success as a passionate and hard-working artist.

William: What encouragement are you planning to share with yourself a year from now? Mimi Rose: I’d like to encourage myself to remember to stay calm and recognize fully life is too short. It’s important not to waste my time chasing after superficial things. One of my biggest concerns it not living my life to the fullest.

William: What’s an usual day in the life of Mimi Rose? Mimi Rose: Every day is different; my life presently is unscheduled, and I love it. But I enjoy working out in the morning before I start my day. Ideally, I arise, write in my diary, work out, shower, do my vocal warmups, and commence other aspects of my day. But honestly, I don’t always have time to keep to that ideal schedule as I’m truly busy. As of late, I’ve multiple songwriting sessions with different artists and I enjoy live streaming with my fans.

William: Who has had the most impact on your life so far, and why? Mimi Rose: I had a friend die about three years ago and my life had a before and after. It opened my eyes to the fact we’re here on borrowed time. We don’t own earth or life and every second of this life counts. Hence, I don’t want to waste any part of it. I just want to be happy.

William: What would you say is the greatest lesson you’ve learned thus far in this business? Mimi Rose: It’s important to set my boundaries. I used to try to help everyone, and as I became successful it became difficult to establish boundaries because I didn’t want to come off as rude or a diva. But with time, I learned people often find it easy to express judgement and knowing your boundaries doesn’t make you a bad person. We can’t please everyone all the time; sometimes we have to put ourselves first, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

William: How do you keep your life in balance? Mimi Rose: I don’t. My personal life is my work life. Everything I feel either becomes inspiration for a song, or a music video. I also enjoy playing my musical instruments. That’s what happens when you’re in love. I’m romantically in love with music and art and it’s been that way all my life. l
