Mino released her fourth record, the EP Love Her Like You’re Leaving, in winter of 2021. Previous to that, she was touring her one-person theatre show This Way It’s Poetry among other theatre and music related endeavours.

Mino’s creative interests and influences span from pop-culture new and vintage, to early country folk and gospel, soul music and storytelling.

Mino has studied various vocal pedagogies, including Speech Level Singing and Roy Hart work. After becoming a student then assistant teacher of Fitzmaurice Voicework, the drive to follow and deepen her practice both as a teacher and a student led her to become a certified teacher after training in Los Angeles in 2013/14.
