The phrase solo artist isn’t lost of Houston’s Michelle Roberts, also known by many as MIEARS. A singer from an early age, her voice has been compared to that of Lauren Mayberry and Georgia Nott. As the frontwoman for electronica trio BLSHS, she enjoyed multiple festival appearances, countless words of praise in the media, and a grueling schedule of tour dates and sets at places like CMJ Music Marathon and SXSW. However, after work stalled on the follow up to BLSHS debut album, the producer/singer/songwriter began a journey that would start with a question and end with a whole new solo project. That project, known simply as MIEARS, found the singer writing, producing, performing, and recording the solo effort. MIEARS gained praise from across the blogosphere for her debut EP, Who Will Save You?, released February 2017. The EP received love from The Line of Best Fit, IMPOSE, Discobelle, Free Press Houston and more, and MIEARS performed acclaimed sets at SXSW, FPSF, and a slew of local, regional, and national tour dates.

Since MIEARS’ inception in 2017, a series of tour dates and festival appearances from Texas to New York has kept her ever-inspired to continue on her one-woman musical journey. A life-long goal of releasing her music on vinyl, like her grandfather once did, drove MIEARS to create another fully self-produced and home-recorded body of work, this time in the form of a 10-song LP. With a checkmark on her bucket-list, and some battle scars along the way, MIEARS is ready to take to the stage to share her emotional journey, with her debut LP, Hanging On, which was released on February 28, 2020.

As the sole producer, singer, songwriter, and performer of her work, MIEARS crafts melancholy electropop, complete with ethereal melodies, pulsating synthesizers, and vocals of otherworldly beauty to devastate you on the dance floor.
