CO-CEO
Mirända Cherell is no stranger to the industry.
​
Formerly, a founding partner of Miralex Music, Miranda has ​recorded with or composed songs for some of the nation's ​premier gospel artists along with former partner, Asaph ​Alexander Ward. With group, High Praise/HP2, she traveled the ​country sharing the stage with top gospel, country and jazz ​artists. But her heart has always lied in composing. This gift has afforded her opportunities to write
for notables, ​such as Pastor Kim Burrell, Virtue, Benita Jones, Chrystal Rucker, Virtue and many others. This also opened many doors that led to vocal work with iconic gospel artists; Chrystal ​Aikin, Dorinda Clark Cole, Coko, Twinkie Clark, Smokie Norful, The Clark Sisters, Joann Rosario, and even ​demoing movie soundtrack music for Beyonce.
​
Mirända is on her second go-round in the music industry. This time around, son Josiah is bringing his ​new sound into the mix. Together, they are ready to make waves.

Songstress & Writer
CO-CEO
It all began with the 8th grade talent show at Lincoln Academy...
How it all began
An invitation to a duet performance with a friend, led to the ​beginning of Impresario founder, Mirända Cherell’s journey into ​building groups. She would eventually turn the duo into a group, ​then pull together many assemblages over the years; grouping ​phenomenally extraordinary vocalists who wanted to make ​beautiful music with others. Taking part in some of the ​ensemble groupings, her most notable, and dear group ​experience was with HP²/High Praise (featured on Camp ​Impresario’s latest Christmas EP).
Miranda's knack for crafting “vocal bands” has been paramount to her ​music experience. And now, many years later, her son, ​Jward, has not only picked up that mantle, but has ​transcended her gift by adding his own brilliant musicality and ​creative vocal stylings to the soloists, dynamic duos, eclectic ​quartets and tiny choirs he brings together in chorus to execute ​his vision under Camp Impresario.
​​
Impresario and its subsidiary, Camp Impresario seeks to express ​the gifts God has given in ways that motivate, engage and ​inspire creative adventures.
