Witty, colorful, poetic, energetic, romantic, extraordinary, unbelievable... words Mimi's fans around the world use to describe the unique performances of the undisputed "Queen of Ragtime." One of the most highly trained and gifted pianists in ragtime, Montreal's Mimi Blais is also the comedy star of the genre... a pianist to be seen!

- Nan Bostick (niece and biographer of Charles N. Daniels)

After completing her classical training at the Québec Conservatory of Music and McGill University in Montreal, Mimi left the beaten path to discover MUSIC. Her career has been guided by passion and whim where classical, folk, jazz, modern, blues, tango, and ragtime all blend together. Mimi's passion for ragtime music has led her to travel across the United States and Canada, and it has even taken her to Belgium and Hungary (to the "Bohém" Festivals in 1993 and 2004) where she received one standing ovation after another. She was nicknamed The New Queen Of Ragtime already in 1990. Mimi was invited to perform for the Olympic Celebration in 1996 and has acted and played the piano in several plays at famous theatres of Montreal.

Mimi Blais has eight CDs so far. As a musical performer, composer, arranger, writer, comedian and singer whose imagination knows no bounds, Mimi Blais is in high demand because of her tremendous talent and joyful personality.
