Grammy award winning artist Rosanne Cash describes the music of singer/songwriter/guitarist Mimi Cross: "Mimi fuses delicacy and power, heart and gut. Her writing and singing are inspiring, evocative and refreshing. It's a pleasure to have discovered her work."

Mimi Cross was born in Toronto, Canada and received a BM from Ithaca College and an MA from New York University. She has been a performer, a music educator, and a yoga instructor, and worked briefly in the music industry. She has written good songs, bad poems, and is currently seeking representation for her Young Adult novels. She lives with her husband and young son in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, about a half hour from her musical home, Asbury Park. She lives surrounded by water and can see the oldest operating lighthouse in the United States from her window. Mimi loves the fact that she can walk to the ferry and get to Manhattan in less than an hour.

Mimi is a two time Asbury Music Award winner and thinks those little golden microphones are the coolest things. Over the course of her musical career Mimi has shared the bill with well known artists such as Sting, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Lauryn Hill, Chris Whitley, Jill Sobule, Mae Moore, Loudon Wainwright III, Peter Himmelman and Nicole Atkins. More than anything else she likes to perform for the benefit of others. She has played shows with many other New Jersey musicians including Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi to raise funds for various charities.

The Crankamacallit, Mimi's interactive children's iPad app, was released on iTunes in late May of 2011.
