Inspired by troubadours Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen, old-school musicals, and quirky singer/songwriters Björk and Tori Amos, Paris-based Aussie chanteuse Nadeah Miranda has become the go-to girl for French cabaret acts while also pursuing a solo career of her own. Having developed a passion for music at a young age, a victory in a school talent contest inspired her to write her own songs, and later, to travel to Europe to seek fame and fortune at the age of 18. Self-described as lyrically twisted, dark cabaret pop and featuring the single "Odile," her debut album, Venus Gets Even, was released in 2011. ~ Jon O'Brien
