    hey, I found you on Taylor Mitchell's page!
    I came across Taylor's page when I was searching through Wikipedia on ''list of unusual deaths'' for curiosity and Taylor's name is on the list. When you get a chance, read the poem I wrote in memory of her, and leave your thoughts? You can find it on my blog here on my musicpage!
    My most fav song from her is ''Don't Know How I Got Here''.....

    thanks, and God bless! :)

    Unfortunately I won't be in Toronto this summer. All the recording is done but need to finish the album (graphics; cd's; packaging; etc.) although I'm begining to wonder why I need to do this. It would be great to get to Toronto and catch your show but doesn't look like it again this summer. Keep writing.
    All the best.

    Hiya Ania!
    Hope you are well!
    I am about to go into the studio to record my new album.
    Check out my videos on my myspace page-they were filmed last year at one of my London gigs!
    God Bless,

Bio

"Be warned: this girl is armed with lyrics and she's not afraid to use them." - Bob Reid, Co-Host, CFRB's "Rock Talk"


Ania Ziemirska was the girl that other kids teased. Smart, geeky, intense, and often overlooked by the cool crowd, the tenacious outsider, who didnʼt speak a word of English when she immigrated to Canada from Poland at the age of nine, found her solace from insecurity and loneliness in writing and performing songs.

What began as the teenaged poetry of love and luck has evolved over the last decade into a growing songbook of emotionally arresting, nakedly astute, and deftly crafted lyrical snapshots that linger long after the musical notes have faded.

Written over the course of a year in 2007-2008, her debut EP, I Was The Girl captures a pivotal moment in the evolution of an artist. At times wistful, at others rollicking, her songs pair universal fears, hopes, dreams and denials with insightful, imaginative folk, blues and pop-infused melodies in ways that seem, quite frankly, well beyond her years.

Ziemirska garners the inevitable comparisons – to Sarah McLachlan for her studied yet accessible tunesmithing, Chrissie Hynde for her whiskey and honey-dipped vocals, Natalie Merchant for her controlled yet passionate delivery and to Joni Mitchell for her exhaustive range – but thereʼs always an extra something that makes Ziemirskaʼs songs her own.
