Recorded in the heart of Nashville at Prime Recording Studios, "BEFORE" came to life under the watchful eye of producer Derek Garten. Known for his strong vision and meticulous attention to detail, Garten breathed life into MIRA GOTO's songs, allowing them to stand on their own. Reflecting on the collaboration, MIRA GOTO notes, “He was able to breathe life into my songs, and that gave them legs so they could stand on their own. It takes a special producer with real passion to do that.”

ABOUT MIRA
MIRA GOTO, formerly known as Mira Parfitt, discovered her passion for music in the Santa Cruz Mountains, playing the violin from a young age. Transitioning to the guitar as a teenager, it was the encouragement of her sister Danielle that convinced her to take the stage. MIRA's journey epitomizes the singer-songwriter, crafting songs that tell compelling stories, where lyrics harmonize seamlessly with her music.
Distinguishing her unique brand of music from the conventional country twang, MIRA GOTO refers to her style as “Diet Country” – a philosophy that encourages authenticity and doing what one does best. Explaining her approach, she says, “There are always going to be better guitar players, better singers, and better songwriters. So it’s absolutely about telling that story you need to tell, that’s unique to you, and telling it in the best way you know how.”
At 35 years old, MIRA GOTO has developed a distinct language in her music that is fresh, authentic, and original, drawing influences from artists like Kacey Musgraves, Jaimee Harris, Katy Perry, and the early work of Jack Johnson.
Her debut album, "NEW PLAID SHIRT," released in 2013 under the name Mira Parfitt, showcased her potential for success, winning the West Coast International Songwriting Competition. The single "NEXT LIFE (video)" (2018), featuring Marc Broussard, hinted at what was to come. MIRA GOTO was recognized as the Santa Cruz GoodTimes NEXTies "Musician of the Year."
Periscope, a live performance platform popular in the USA, played a pivotal role in expanding MIRA GOTO's public awareness, with up to 60K people watching her live performances. Although the service was discontinued in 2021, Periscope videos are still accessible via Twitter (Now called X). MIRA embarked on a nationwide tour, building on her massive online community.
In 2020, she released her debut album "NOBODY WARNED ME" (video) co-produced by the legendary Ken Caillat (Grammy® winning engineer for Fleetwood Mac Rumours project) and Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat), Douglas Romanow, with Mastering by Marc Daniel Nelson (Colbie Caillat). The title track went on the Country music charts on #24 on the MusicRow Country Breakout Chart and CDX Traction True Indie Chart in the top 10. She played in cities nationwide and even extended her reach to her devoted fan base in Northern Ireland. On special request I can provide you a digital high quality tagged MP3 version of the album "NOBODY WARNED ME".
