Mirella was raised in a very musical Italian/Portugese family, her father having been a singer for all of her life and her sister following in his footsteps. Music became a big part of her life at an early age and this played a part in her discovering her goals.

She has been song writing since the age of 17 and was singing through most of her teen years and early 20’s, finding herself in different bands and groups where she wrote and co-wrote songs and arranged vocals. She developed as a writer/arranger over the years and in July 2003 Mirella was signed by Universal Music Publishing, One of the largest Music publishers in the world, as a top line Songwriter. This proved to be so beneficial for Mirella as it gave her the chance to work with other international writers, and have her a platform in which to showcase her songs.

This was where her journey began, within months of signing her publishing deal; Mirella was fortunate enough to be writing with the famous song writing teams Murlyn and Cosmos (Sony atv) in Sweden where she gained much experience and knowledge. This became something she did on quite a regular basis, writing songs to be put forward for Anna Johnson (Spiderman Soundtrack), and many other European artists.

In amongst these most talented writers, Mirella’s first major project was writing with Liz McClarnon, who was previously part of Europe’s most successful girl group since the Spice Girls, ‘Atomic Kitten’.
She frequently travels between UK and Europe to write with various successful writing houses and has worked with other artists such as Lee Ryan (Blue), Andy Scott Lee, Roberta (X Factor), Ciara (Bellfire), Jordan (Katie Price) one of Europe’s most successful models, writers from Ash Howes and Martin Harrington’s team and other artists/writers signed to Universal Music Publishing in Europe and the USA along the way.

Mirella also appearing in one of UK’s biggest selling Magazines ‘New’ that would feature her as a co-writer working with Artist and Model Jordan aka Katie Price.

Her most recent work has been with artist Kelli Love based in Los Angeles, which is where she currently resides. Kelli Love has recently featured on Randy Jackson’s Music Club Vol 1 with her song Who’s Gonna Love You Now, co-written by Mirella and other acclaimed writers.
