Bio Continued….
Miami proved to be too small for her to be able to really expand and grow as an artist so she then moved to New York City to join an all-Swedish Pop-group, Popsie, that had already sold millions of records worldwide. She wrote and recorded songs with among others, Todd Terry-who invented house music, and multiple Swedish well-established producers and songwriters.
After performing a lot of music in different clubs in New York, Mirja started taking up her love of theatre and performing in front of the camera by shooting some independent movies, pilots, music videos and partaking in Theatre groups and taking acting classes for HB studios and Terry Schreiber Studio among others. The project that propelled her into following her acting career was starring in the independent movie “Taken for granted” which was entered into the Toronto Film Festival in 2007. Mirja is anticipating this next most important step to see how she can enhance the Hollywood scene.
Mirja’s interests include everything involving the arts – watching movies, plays, going to music concerts, taking yoga classes, dance classes, exercising in the gym, hiking, taking long walks, cooking, enjoying her friends over dinners and just loving life and all that it has to offer.
