Biography

Miracle was born in Ghana, but he and his family moved to Australia shortly after, first living in Melbourne then moving to Sydney with his family when he was in his teens, settling in Quakers Hill. He spent his high school years staying up late creating beats in his bedroom studio, and found fame in 2010 with Better Dayz which was produced for a HSC music assignment. He was signed to Sony-owned record label Nufirm later that year. He has since made songs with artists such as Israel and Jessica Mauboy.

First discovered rap 5 years ago and started collecting equipment to produce beats in his bedroom. Miracle produced a track "Better Dayz" for his HSC music composition, which his friends also shot a clip for. Uploading it onto youtube, the track picked up major street traction via word of mouth and saw Miracle get 16,000 fans on facebook, gain over 100,000 views on youtube, and was added to Sydney community station FBI. Catching the attention of record labels, Miracle signed with Sony Music Australia and his first single "Better Dayz" has now been officially serviced to radio. Currently in the studio recording his debut album, Miracle has also been hand picked by some of hip hop's finest including Big Boi, Lupe Fiasco, and Maseo from De La Soul for support spots on their Australian Tours.

In early 2011, Miracle was named in on of the biggest urban music festivals Australia has ever seen. Supafest which featured, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, The Game, T-Pain, Bow Wow, Ciara and Many more..[2]
