Miri has been hard at work in the studio completing what will be a fusion of her crisp, soulful violin and hard-edged hip-hop production. Collaborating with an all-star cast of artists, including Mya, Scarface , Fabolous, Lil¹ Mo, Twista, Musiq, Anthony Hamilton and more. Miri¹s currently untitled debut is due out early next year on Universal Records.

'The Hip-Hop Violinist¹, has been making a lot of noise lately. The Israeli-born violinist wrote, produced, arranged and performed all strings on Kanye West¹s smash debut album The College Dropout and has been touring the country with West, at sold-out shows in New York, Chicago and LA. Recently, Miri has been West¹s special guest in several major national television appearances, including The Late Show with David Letterman and Last Call with Carson Daly . Kanye has returned the favor in kind, lending production and rhyming work to several tracks on Miri¹s forthcoming debut.

She was originally introduced to the hip-hop community by superstars Jay-Z and Wyclef Jean, joining them both
onstage in front of thousands. Jay-Z says "[Miri] takes hip-hop to the next-next-next-next millennium... A Hip Hop
Violinist! I want you all to check this out!"

Miri will be opening for L.L Cool J at the House Of Blues on Monday October 25 2004.
