Award-winning MIEKA PAULEY possesses a voice that flows like good whiskey and a frankness that makes Alanis Morissette look shy. She conjures up a sonic immediacy with the same masterful command as Ani DiFranco with driving, yearning melodies that stand alongside the work of Michelle Shocked, Neko Case and Emmylou Harris. She puts her guitar in the trunk of her car and does an average of 150 live shows a year criss-crossing the country. She follows her own vision for her music and her soul/blues/rock/acoustic/alternative style has brought comparisons to Ben Harper, Cat Power, Patty Griffin, Martin Sexton and others. Mieka describes her music as “mainstream indie rock” and feels the contradiction perfectly describes her obsessions.

Pauley's career pursuits have helped her win prestigious competitions like Cosmopolitan's Fun Fearless Female Rock Star of the Year, the Starbucks Songwriter Competition and the New York Songwriters Circle Songwriting Contest. She's shared stages with household names like Eric Clapton, Jason Mraz, Citizen Cope, Lyle Lovett, Wyclef Jean, Black Eyed Peas, John Hiatt, Edwin McCain, John Legend, KT Tunstall, Natasha Bedingfield, Ben Kweller, Mindy Smith, Mason Jennings, the Avett Brothers, Gavin DeGraw, while earning herself slots at must-see music events (Newport Folk Festival, South by Southwest, CMJ) and high-profile gigs like singing the national anthem at RED SOX games. She's also been featured on BBC London Radio, PRI's "Mountain Stage" and the music session blog Daytrotter.

Northeast Performer calls her “a version of Sarah McLachlan with a switchblade in her shoe.” The Boston Globe said she’s “like Aretha in the husky vocal turns,” and The Cornerstone Player dubbed her “the next meaningful female voice of her generation.” Larry Groce of NPR's Mountain Stage says of Mieka, "Bold, sexy & wicked with just the right touch of irony." Daytrotter voices "Her words come at you like blunt force." 

Mieka's song "Devil's Got My Secret" can heard in the movie Peace, Love and Misunderstanding which stars Academy Award winner Jane Fonda, Oscar nominee Catherine Keener and Elizabeth Olsen.
