Before crafting a career that includes multiple Latin Grammy nominations, a Grammy nomination and a Latin Grammy win, the vocalist, violinist, guitarron player, composer, guitarist, arranger, producer and founder of Flor de Toloache –NY’s first and only all women mariachi, Mireya Ramos started touring the world as a member of the pro eminent San Juan's Children Choir. Born in California to a proud Dominican Music-loving mother and a big voice, Mariachi fronting Mexican father, Mireya was raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. At the age of 17, she followed her dreams to New York City where she paid her dues playing Mariachi, salsa, merengue, jazz, R&B and hip-hop. A classically trained violinist by Suzuki method, and having had orchestral experience at University, her passion is strongest for folklore as well as other alternative genres. Being a natural at improvisation, possessing colorful violin and vocal textures have made her one of the top requested Latin artists in New York City. There she scored quite a few firsts: her Latin-Jazz band Movemiento was the first Latin group to be part of the Music Under New York program; her Mariachi group Flor De Toloache was the first all-female Mariachi ensemble in NYC; she was one of if not the first NYC violinist to jam live with DJ's such as Tony Touch, Bobbito Garcia, Rich Medina, Afrika Bambaataa, Little Louie Vega and Velcro. Her multifaceted, open-minded approach to music led her to form an all female Merengue-Jazz group, the 809 Ladies, and to collaborate, perform and record with the likes of John Legend, Miguel, Dan Auerbach, John Prine, Chrissie Hynde, Sara Bareilles, Lee Fields, Chicano Batman, Alex Cuba, Chucho Valdez, Eddie Palmieri, Making Movies, Luisito Quintero, Victoria La Mala, Robert Glasper, Pedrito Martínez, Natalia La Fourcade, Thalia, Lila Downs, Cafetacvba, The Beatnuts and more. All this while continuously working on her debut solo record, which so far features Mexican Institute of Sound's Camilo Lara, Guatemala's EMMY-Nominated singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno, long-time David Bowie pianist Mike Garson and other special guests.
