Miki has been studying voice for over ten years now. It wasn't until 2006, she was introduced to the talented Linda Tomkinson and began commuting to Salt Lake City, UT to study the world renown technique, Speech Level Singing^tm. She fell in love with the method after spending years of uncertainty with her own voice, she was able to gain confidence and get the strength in projecting that she always wanted. She immediately became interested in teaching the method to others and studied exclusively under Tomkinson. In the midst of growing as a vocal instructor Miki studied other instruments such as piano and guitar, and quickly began writing her own music. 

She joined the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Union to further pursue her own songwriting career and joined writing forces with John-Mark Seltzer, Producer and Songwriter for EMI/Stealth Entertainment. She also professionally recorded several of her own songs under Seltzer, Scott McKay Gibson and Jon Maddux. She enrolled in Berklee College of Music and went on to graduate with her Master’s in Songwriting at Berklee. 

Miki has also gained recognition for placing some of her Pop songs as a finalist in Songdoor and Show Me the Music World Wide contests against thousands of other competitors. She is currently a part of Southern Utah Writers Association. She enjoys teaching voice and bringing her own songwriting experience to students that are aspiring artists as well. Miki continues her own education as a teacher under countless Speech Level Singing^tm Instructors regularly because even as a teacher it's important to continue learning!
