Mira Aroyo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mira Aroyo (Bulgarian: Мира Аройо), born in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1977, and now living in London, is a member of the electropop band Ladytron.

Of mixed Bulgarian and Hasidic background, Aroyo moved with her family to Israel when she was ten. She is the only member of Ladytron that never lived in Liverpool: Reuben Wu and Daniel Hunt were raised in the city and Helen Marnie studied there. While a DJ in London, Aroyo met Danny Hunt through mutual friends and found that they were DJing the same kind of music.[1] Mira's role in Ladytron has been keyboardist, singer, and as a songwriter. She writes and sings her songs for Ladytron in her native Bulgarian as well as in English.

Besides having musical interests and abilities, Aroyo has a PhD in molecular genetics from Oxford University. Oxford University's official website confirms that she was a postgraduate research geneticist in the University's Biochemistry department.[2]
