Early life

[edit]
Misha B grew up in the Moss Side area of Manchester

Misha B was born Misha Amber Bryan[3] on 10 February 1992, to Florence Bryan and an unknown father.[4] She is of Jamaican heritage.[5] From three months old Misha B and her sister were raised by their maternal aunt Lily.[6][7] Misha B spoke of her upbringing, "I will always look upon Lily as my mum, I've never had that relationship with my birth mum... we don't know each other. But I respect the fact she carried me for all those months, but when it comes to my mum Lil...she's a great role model in everything she does."[8]

Misha B grew up in the Longsight, Hulme and Moss Side districts of Greater Manchester.[9][10][11] As a teenager Misha B attended Trinity C.E. High School in Hulme,[12] where she played football for the Manchester United under-16s.[13] She started by writing poetry, moved on to rapping and then progressed to singing.[14] Misha B began to take her vocals abilities more seriously aged fourteen - describing music as her only outlet[15] and saying that singing assisted her self-understanding.[16]

Aged 18, in 2010 she joined a vocal artist course at the Manchester Music Base,[17] at Trafford College in Manchester.[18] There, she was coached by Leanne Brown, who as part of Sweet Female Attitude, had a hit in 2000 with "Flowers".[19] Misha B entered the Manchester open mic circuit aged eighteen, and performed as a busker outside Manchester's Arndale Centre to tackle her stage fright.[20][21]

Career

[edit]

The X Factor

[edit]

Misha B's breakthrough into the music industry came in 2011, through her appearance on the eighth series of The X Factor. In her first audition in front of judges Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland and Tulisa, she sang Aretha Franklin's cover of "Respect".[22] The Voice recounted her performance as being "confident" and "show-stopping", and as a promising sign of Misha B's future in the competition.[22] Noted for her "Lauryn Hill-like rap-singing style", she progressed through to bootcamp and then to judges' houses, where she was put through to the live shows by Rowland in her Girls category (solo females aged 16–24) alongside Amelia Lily, Janet Devlin and Sophie Habibis.[15] A variety of sources including The Daily Telegraph, Digital Spy and bluesandsoul.com have regarded Misha B as one of the more gifted and exciting acts ever to have come out of a talent competition.[20][23] BBC 1xtra noting her "show-stopping performances", considered her to be one of the most credible artists to emerge from the show and a "break from the traditional X Factor contestant".[24] In a review of the series, The Daily Telegraph picked her performance of "Rolling in the Deep" (Adele) as one of the highlights of the series, saying she "oozed star quality from the start... Like a 21st century Grace Jones or an urban Lady Gaga, the teenager seemed like a proper pop star already."[25]

Misha B was in the bottom two in week 4 with Sophie Habibis but was saved by Walsh, Tulisa and Rowland, later Barlow confirmed he would have saved her if he had to vote. However voting statistics revealed that Habibis received more votes than Misha B meaning if the result went to deadlock, Habibis would have been saved. Misha B ended up in the bottom two a second time in week 6, this time with Kitty Brucknell and was saved again. However, Brucknell received more votes from the public than Misha B meaning if the result went to deadlock, Brucknell would have been saved. The following week, Misha B finished second in the public vote, receiving 22.5% which gave her a place in the quarter-final in week 8. Misha B was in the bottom two for the third time in the quarter-final with Janet Devlin but was saved, as Walsh and Tulisa voted to send her through while Rowland abstained from voting between her two acts, and Barlow confirmed he would have voted to send her through if he had to vote. However, voting statistics revealed that Devlin received more votes than Misha B meaning if the result went to deadlock, Devlin would have advanced to the semi-final and Misha B would have been eliminated. After receiving the fewest votes in the semi-final in week 9, Misha B was eliminated from the show and finished in fourth place.

Misha B was involved in a controversy during the third live show when Tulisa accused her of making "mean comments" and Louis Walsh accused her of being a "bully" to other contestants backstage. No evidence was ever provided to support either allegation and both accusers apologised the next day.[26] The other two judges and her fellow contestants defended Misha B during and after the show, and Barlow later said he believed the wrongful allegations had ended Misha B's chances of winning the competition.[27] Misha B was asked about her experience on The X Factor and said "I one hundred percent appreciate the platform it gave me...but it's not for the faint-hearted lol. You have to remember that at the end of the day it's an entertainment show for TV."[28] "Things are said which are out of all of our hands as contestants. I wasn't asked any questions, I was just accused."[29][15]

Musical style and influences

[edit]

Misha B's has been described by 4 Music as having "powerful and soulful vocals",[80] and "powerhouse R&B vocals".[81] BBC 1xtra said she had a "huge soulful voice".[75] The N.M.E reviewing Do You Think of Me noted her "stupendous" vocals.[82] The Redbrick student publication reviewing Misha B's live performance on the Nicki Minaj tour said "It was great to hear that her voice, which sounds powerful on recordings and post-production, was just as good, if not even better, when performing live."[83] Misha B has been compared to several female artists, grammy.com noted that her singing and rapping abilities were similar to Lauryn Hill.[15] She has also been compared to Missy Elliott, Chaka Khan, Jennifer Hudson, Nicki Minaj, Tina Turner, Grace Jones and Eartha Kitt.[84] SoulBounce described her vocals as "stylistically speaking... falling in line somewhere between Missy Elliott's quirkiness and Lauryn Hill's raw soulfulness".[85] Misha B has noted the comparisons to Missy Elliott, but considers them to be artistically different.[86] Misha B has recognised the musical influences of growing up in Moss Side (especially during the local carnival and parade season)[20] and the influence of Michael Jackson and other artists including Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill.[15][87]

Misha B has said that her music style can best be described as "free", and that she does not want to be boxed in by any one style. SBTV considered Misha B capable of performing in any genre.[88] Regarding her own releases Home Run is a fusion of multiple genres – R&B, hip-hop, dance, pop, soul, reggae, drum and bass, combined with Misha's 'soulful vocals'.[89] Do You Think of Me is an up-tempo R&B track that fuses urban and dance music, with its "90s club-meets-tribal-flavour".[90] While her third release fused R&B with reggae, pop, drum & bass elements.[91] In separate interviews she has said "one thing that's the same in all my songs is that drum beat, that kick"[92] and "drums and rhythm are a real priority to me".[93] Misha B frequently performs covers - amongst them in September 2012, she covered Alicia Keys' track "Girl on Fire" described by one critic as that "awkward moment when someone sings your new song better than you",[94] the following month she covered "Diamonds" (Rihanna song).[95] She also covered Hip Hop hits - Jay Z and Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild",[88] and in July 2014 Tupac's 1998 hit Do for Love "breathing harmony into the song with a refreshingly unadorned approach that's transcended by her relentless passion and drive for self-expression."[96] Bryan has said that while soul was the 'foundation', she loved combining singing and rapping[75] and is noted for adding her own raps to covers - "how do you make Aretha Franklin's 'Respect' even more sassy? with a rap, of course!"[97] Bryan also included rap breaks in her covers of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" and Cyndi Lauper’s "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" while she was on The X Factor.[98] and Drake's "Started from the Bottom", again Misha B "drops her own lyrics on the song" "reflecting on the harsh realities of her childhood" - she spits: 'Mummy was a crack fiend, I was crack born, Daddy never has been Daddy at all' and reflects on her musical career post X Factor.[99]

Charity work

[edit]

Misha B, alongside Jody Cundy, Peter Norfolk, Peter Tatchell, is a joint patron of the UK's National Diversity Awards, an annual event which recognises positive role models and organisations who are connected to diversity in the United Kingdom.[100] In 2013 she was quoted as saying that the awards were a "great opportunity to recognise and celebrate diversity."

In December 2012, Misha B appeared in "The Taking Care of Christmas" on 4Music (as part of a partnership with youth charity vinspired) which highlighted the benefits of volunteering for a good cause and how it can make job applicants more attractive to prospective employers.[101] Noting that "busking played such an important part at the beginning" of her career, in 2013 Misha took part in an annual busking competition which in March 2013 attracted 4,500 entrants.[102] Later that year Misha B supported the launch of an initiative by The Children's Society on 19 November 2013, that seeks to tackle the high levels of poverty and neglect faced by an estimated 150,000 vulnerable children and young people living in the Greater Manchester area.[11][103] "I can relate to what some of these young people are going through and now, I'm in a position to raise awareness of the issues behind problems."[104] "I know that, like me, they can escape the poverty trap if they have the right support, and if services work together more so that less children slip through the net."[105] In 2013 Misha B also designed a cushion for BBC Children in Need annual children's charity event.[106]

She actively supports the BT Digital Champions initiative, a project set up by BT's Better Future programme and children's charity the Transformation Trust, that encourages young people to share their internet knowledge to help others get on-line.
