Local artist set to showcase single on-stage in advance of EP release By Mike Carroccetto She turned 25 on Saturday and had her own stage to celebrate. Miranda Boutros is an emerging recording artist who grew up in Manotick and now lives in Barrhaven. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my champagne birthday than with friends, family, and music,” says Boutros. The young music maker attended St. Leonard and St. Mark High School before attending Algonquin College’s School of Media
and Design for their Music Industry Arts program. That’s where she befriended music producer Nick Gütz and musician Connery Brown. Since graduating Algonquin in 2015, she has worked on her own music with Gütz and Brown.” “It feels like a really good time in my life to take that leap and share my work with people. I’m ready to open myself up for response and reaction to my music and hopefully use it to help guide and fuel me as I finish up my EP.”
Boutros describes her sound as alternative pop with an alternative rock flare, with jazz and blues influences threaded throughout. “Not only are (Gütz and Brown) my friends and colleagues, they’re brothers I never had,” adds Boutros. “I can lean on them in times of weakness and celebrate with them in times of triumph. They are important to my career and life in general.” Her single, ‘Crave The Rose,’ is now available on Spotify.
