bio
Miki Huber (aka Lilamayi) spent her early years growing up on a goat and honey bee farm in the Mojave Desert in California, where she played her dad's guitar and wrote songs about the moon, lonely boys, and estranged mythical creatures.
Raised by a Japanese mother from a legendary Samurai family and an eccentric American father, she found herself moving from the desert to the Nez Perce lake lands of North Idaho and, later, running off to live in New Zealand, France, New York City, and Los Angeles. These days Miki prefers country life to the city, and she lives with her family in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Her songs have been described as haunting and whimsical... sometimes reminiscent of European and Japanese folk melodies and French retro pop.
Among her influences are Kate Bush, Regina Spektor, The Innocence Mission, Suzanne Vega, Rickie Lee Jones, Françoise Hardy, the films of Ingmar Bergman, and all the wonderful artists who have graced her with their souls along the way.
Miki's adventures have included acting, screen writing, directing, middle eastern dance, and silent retreats in jungles and mountains. She is also a Creative Learning Therapist for children.
