Информация о артисте
Mia Doi Todd (born June 30 1975) is a musician from Los Angeles, California, United States.
Mia has collaborated with rock, electronica, and hip-hop musicians, contributing her voice to works by Dntel, Beachwood Sparks, Nobody, Adventure Time, Frausdots, Folk Implosion, The Mission, Saul Williams, Prefuse 73, Flying Lotus, vosotros, Winter Flowers, and others.
Doi Todd's divorced parents are sculptor Michael Todd and California Second District Court of Appeal Associate Justice Kathryn Doi Todd, who holds the distinction of being the first female Asian American judge in the United States.[2] [3] She is of Japanese descent on her mother's side.
Todd moved to New Haven, Connecticut in 1993 to attend Yale University, where she majored in East Asian Studies. Her first album, The Ewe and the Eye, was recorded at the Spaceshed, the recording studio/garage belonging to the LA band Further. It came out on its label, Xmas Records, in the spring of 1997, as she was graduating from college. She moved to New York City and started playing in clubs. That fall, she recorded her second album, Come Out of Your Mine, which was released on the Communion Label in 1999.
She lived in Japan for most of 1998, studying Ankoku Butoh first with Kazuo and Yoshito Ohno and at Asubeustosu-kan, and then with Min Tanaka at Body Weather Farm. She speaks rudimentary Japanese. Returning home to Los Angeles, she recorded most of her next album, Zeroone, on a Power Mac G4 and started City Zen Records to release it in 2001.
Her first three albums were solo acoustic recordings. She then started to play with a band, which was called Los Cincos which later renamed itself Syncopation. Todd and the group did not record much together. She signed a contract with Columbia/SME Records and recorded The Golden State, culling songs from her previous albums. Mitchell Froom and Yves Beauvais helped her produce it. She recorded at the Sunset Sound Factory, and the album came out in the fall of 2002. For a year, she toured the US and Europe, on her own and then with Alaska! and Lou Barlow's Folk Implosion. Columbia chose at this time not to renew her contract.
Her fifth album, Manzanita, which was released in 2005, is also the Spanish name of a round-leaved bush with smooth, red bark and tiny, bell-shaped blossoms that grows throughout California and the Pacific Coast. She recorded in Lake Hollywood with Rob Campanella. Many of the songs were still just voice and guitar or piano. Neal Casal played guitar, Brent Rademaker played bass as well as some guitar and piano. On drums and percussion were Hunter Crowley, Ric Menck, and Nelson Bragg. Members of Dead Meadow and Beachwood Sparks made cameo appearances, and the entire band—Future Pigeon—backed her on the song "Casa Nova." Rob engineered the album and played electric guitar, piano, dulcimer, and mandolin.
An album of remixes, La Ninja: Amor and other dreams of Manzanita, appeared in April 2006 and also had three new tracks, including a cover of the Beatles' song "Norwegian Wood."
Mia Doi Todd has worked with Dntel on two songs, Anywhere Anyone, and Rock My Boat.
Mia Doi Todd's seventh album Gea was named as LA Weekly's Top-10 Recordings of 2008. Carlos Niño produced with Miguel Atwood Ferguson's orchestrations. Mia toured the US and Canada as guest artist for Jose Gonzalez.
In 2009 she released her first instrumental album, Morning Music, in collaboration with percussionist Andres Renteria, and guest starred in Becky Stark's web series Califunya!.
In 2011, she collaborated with José González on the track "Um Girassol Da Cor Do Seu Cabelo," and also contributed a version of the track "Canto de Iemanjá" for the Red Hot Organization's most recent charitable album "Red Hot+Rio 2." The album is a follow-up to the 1996 "Red Hot + Rio." Proceeds from the sales will be donated to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS/HIV and related health and social issues.

It came out on their label, Xmas Records, in the spring of 1997, as she was graduating from college. She moved to New York City and started playing in clubs. Elliott Smith and the Palace Brothers were big influences of hers at the time. That fall, she recorded her second album, come out of your mine, which was released on The Communion Label in 1999.
She lived in Japan for most of 1998, studying first with Kazuo and Yoshito Ohno and at Asbestos-kan, and then with Min Tanaka at Body Weather Farm. She speaks rudimentary Japanese.

Mitchell Froom and Yves Beauvais helped her produce it. She recorded at the Sunset Sound Factory, and the album came out in the fall of 2002 and was generally well received by critics, though one writer referred to Mia as "jaw-droppingly pretentious".

The title of her 2005 album Manzanita refers to the Spanish name of a round-leaved bush with smooth, red bark and tiny, bell-shaped blossoms, that grows throughout California and the Pacific Coast. She recorded up in Lake Hollywood with Rob Campanella. Many of the songs are still just voice and guitar or piano. Brent played bass as well as some guitar and piano. On drums and percussion were Hunter Crowley, Rick Menck, and Nelson Bragg. Members of Dead Meadow and Beachwood Sparks made cameo appearances, and the entire band Future Pigeon backed her on track 6. Rob engineered all the while, came up with great ideas, and played electric guitar, piano, dulcimer and mandolin. A remix album La Ninja: Amor & Other Dreams Of Manzanita was released in 2006, featuring one brand new track, Kokoro, and a cover of The Beatles' Norwegian Wood.
As of April 2007, Mia had recorded two new albums; the first, Gea, a collection of nine new songs plus an alternative version of Kokoro, and the second, Morning Music, a collection of seven untitled instrumental compositions. Exact details of when and on which label these recordings are to be released are unknown. Read more on Last.fm.
