Miranda Brown

Hello, I’m Miranda, the Events Manager here at TMSA! A California girl turned southern peach, I first had my taste of music growing up playing on my late grandmother's 100-year-old piano. My father would always boast of her musical talents and say, “Look at those long fingers! Those are piano hands!”

As many kids do, I took lessons with my sister, but when she expressed that she wanted a change in extracurricular activities, I was also forced to leave lessons. Thus began my journey into school chorus and travel softball.

My childhood was always music- and theater-focused, doing plays both on stage and behind the scenes, until it quickly shifted into the medical field. I attended a medical magnet high school and eventually joined Sacramento State’s Pre-Nursing Program. I was a freshman in college learning how to take blood pressure when I thought to myself… yeah, this isn’t for me.

I changed my major nine times until I landed in communications, where I knew I just needed to get the piece of paper and find my people. Throughout college, I worked bartending and serving, where I found a passion for people and their experiences. To this day, I still wait tables and tend bars, hearing stories of travelers, musicians, born-and-bred locals, and everything in between.

Once I graduated, I moved to Washington, D.C., where I worked at a wedding venue. I knew events were my passion, but I couldn’t figure out which facet. One summer, my best friend and roommate announced that she’d be leaving me to move to Atlanta—her hometown—and gave me the option to come with her. I felt so lost and unsure of what I was doing with my work that I took the leap and landed here.

A friend of mine at the restaurant where I started and I chatted a ton about events and what was next in life for me. She introduced me to Cecilia and this big, beautiful studio, and the rest is history. I had finally come full circle back to my musical roots and now take lessons myself as an adult.

It brings me so much joy and passion to be able to merge my love for music with event coordinating for kids and building their sense of self—something that took me years to find.
