Mirel Wagner

Mirel Wagner is singer songwriter, born in Ethiopia and raised in Espoo, Finland. Since the age of 16 she has been writing gloomy Blues and Folk songs, stripped down to the bone. It's just about her airy but rough voice and a minimalistic guitar picking. Avoiding theatrical gestures effortlessly her music has a unique intensity and emotional weight.

Townes Van Zandt once said that there are two types of music: the blues and zip a dee doo dah. This falls into the blues category and a graveyard full of black metal guitarists couldn't create anything half as heavy and raw as Mirel Wagners self titled debut album.
