Country Misha Fair, a prolific singer-songwriter, has been making a bold impression with her classic country vocals and expressive lyrics. Those who have been fortunate enough to see her dynamic performances are in high expectation of her upcoming solo releases.

A product of a musical family, the singer-songwriter's family has had major label success from RCA to Atlantic Records. As a result, she spent most of her early childhood development in the same studios as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the SOS Band, Isaac Hayes, and many other music legends.

With a rich musical legacy written into her DNA, her childhood was shaped by this reality in remarkable yet complicated ways. While most of her kindergarten classmates were toting My Buddies to Show-n-Tell, her father would join her, off tour, with members of the S.O.S. Band, fully costumed.

Enthralled in the family business, she quickly earned a reputation as the little girl with the big voice, wowing audiences with renditions of LeAnne Rimes' 'Blue' and other tunes by country artists such as Patsy Cline, Dolly

Parton, as well as rock singer-songwriters Pat Benatar, and Joan Jett.

She was trained from a young age as a classical vocalist, but found her passion in jazz, hip hop, and

the gritty alternative sound of the mid '90s. She performed in countless marquee, and children's

choirs in her hometown. Unbeknownst to her, there was a wave of hip-hop and RnB sweeping Atlanta,

and the young Misha Fair found her tribe along the confluence of the shared and varied traditions

that make up the musical ethos of the United States.

Misha Fair attended college on a vocal performance scholarship. Minoring in linguistic studies,

she may be one of the few country artists able to sing and write in multiple romance

languages.

In 2008, she began an internship at Wondaland Arts Society after a chance meeting with

Janelle Monae. Her professional career was kickstarted after she began assisting

creatively with many of her early projects.

She has collaborated with artists, songwriters, and producers including the likes of

Blanco Brown, Breland, Demun Jones, and Yelawolf.

As she embarks on a solo musical career she looks to join her country music

contemporaries as a prolific singer-songwriter. All the while, she remains in high

demand as a vocal trainer and artist developer.

"I'm a classically trained, Southern girl, who fell in love with everything great about this

country. My songs have been deep-fried in folk, gospel and bluegrass and are best

served with a side of rhythm and blues, and rock and roll," Misha Fair comments on her

music.

Misha Fair will release brand-new music at the beginning of March. With her first country

genre offering 'Memphis' dropping on March 4, 2023.

For audiences who haven't known the musical artist by now, they are already missing out.

She is a force to be reckoned with. Be sure to subscribe to all Misha Fair's social media and

streaming services to keep up-to-date with the singer-songwriter.
