Mimi and Gabe Pirard are a French-American sibling duo that charms audiences with their incredible talent and Parisian flare. Mimi has a passion for reviving songs from times gone by as sung by Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, and their contemporaries. At age thirteen Mimi began her singing career in Saint Germain en Laye as a member of Atelier Chanson, a Paris music association, learning to harmonize melodies and take leading roles performing traditional and contemporary French songs. At age seventeen Mimi moved to California where she and her brother, Gabe, began performing regularly at local venues. Mimi and Gabe formed the band, Dgiin, which earned The North Bay Music Awards, “Best World Music Band”, for it’s unique, high energy mix of gypsy, flamenco, with a touch of funk. Their repertoire included songs in French, Spanish, and English. Today Mimi sings with the band, SonoMusette, where she explores and exudes her favorite musical styles and songs.
