Miranda Easten is a New Zealand singer-songwriter, author, and journalist whose work sits at the intersection of music, storytelling, and design-led culture.

Her debut album Behind Unbroken Strings (2021) was recorded at Neil Finn’s Roundhead Studios in Auckland with world-renowned producer Greg Haver (Kimbra, Melanie C, Manic Street Preachers) and featured contributions from an acclaimed group of musicians. The release established Miranda as a serious recording artist, with singles including “Cowboy Lullaby” and “Country Boy” charting on the Official Australian Top 40 Country Chart, and receiving broadcast rotation across CMT, MTV, Nashville TV, and Country Music Network.

Miranda is also recognised for a run of high-profile music videos, including collaborations with internationally respected director Shae Sterling. Her videos have screened widely on television and digital platforms, helping build a strong international audience. Notably, “View From Here” was voted Top Video on America’s Taste of Country for multiple weeks, further strengthening her profile in the U.S. market.

Her sophomore album Concrete & Honey debuted at #6 on the Official New Zealand Albums Chart and marked a significant artistic and commercial step forward. Recorded across New Zealand and at the iconic Rockfield Studios in Wales — where artists such as Queen, Oasis, and Coldplay have created landmark records — the album broadened her audience and reinforced her reputation for emotionally precise, carefully crafted songwriting.

Across her career, Miranda has collaborated with a wide range of respected artists and musicians, including Greg Johnson and Ashes & Arrows, earning a reputation for creative instinct. A seasoned live performer, she has appeared at major festivals and high-profile showcases and events, such as the prestigious Ayrburn Classic.

Beyond music, Miranda is a former radio host of The Country Workday on Southern Cross Country and the author of multiple poetry collections. She is currently working on her third album — a forward-leaning project driven by melody, atmosphere, and momentum. Guided by curiosity, she is exploring a fresh, bold sound, pushing the boundaries of her music while staying true to the emotional honesty that defines her artistry.

Miranda also writes professionally for leading glossy automotive magazines such as Classic Driver and NZ Classic Car Magazine. With a lifelong fascination for design and motion — and as a DeLorean owner — her love of cars and aesthetics forms a natural extension of her creative life.
