5 Fast Facts with Mir Mir, the unsung teenage audio engineer and artist out of the Chicago-land area
As one of our LEONARD Magazine CO. production members was observing an “Upcoming R&B/Soul Rap ” playlist on spotify, he stumbled upon the oddly deep voice of one of the most interesting and underrated artists we’ve encountered; Mir Mir. Temptingly diving deeper into his discography, we noticed multiple single releases over the past year that all sounded thrillingly disparate from each other, leading us to reach out to Mir Mir for what appears to be his first exclusive artist interview.
His music can’t be boxed
We were intrigued when guessing Mir Mir’s age, having just recently turned 18. judging by his production we would have been on the fence in terms of assuming his experience level and his dab upon both old and modern style production. His follow up wasn’t a shock.
Mir Mir came across a random set of songs on youtube that felt like an eye opener to him. These songs, made by other young artists, are identified as Hyperpop. Hyperpop is by far one of the most unique genres in the music industry. Many don’t knowingly come across it. It’s influence is driven from a wide range of sources that often contain glitch effects, heavy basses, high voices, and PC music inspiration. This spectrum-lacking genre felt fitting for Mir Mir because it caused him to try new things and download soundcloud and instagram, where he got to meet and build a bond with some of the artists he claimed to have listened to for years prior. He began receiving follow backs and even features from artists he used to only listen to.
“I never knew how making weird sounds into the mic or slapping the desk could turn into an 808 or even a fire adlib.”
Public platform release was limited to Mir Mir. When asking how many songs he’s made so far, he couldn’t get an estimate at the top of his head. It was unfortunate to hear how often he trashed his finished work. He explained that he would often make tracks only to end up throwing them away out of embarrassment. Considering the rate Mir Mir is moving at, we’re certain that these tracks would have been like a memorabilia recollection compared to his current production.
Blew up in private
Over quarantine Mir Mir helped produce a song that he’s kept unsaid. His friend at the time had created a song with him and multiple people (which unironically was hyperpop), and it became popular months later. The sound on tiktok has over a hundred thousand videos uploaded to it, primarily for it’s distinctive glitch effects and lyrics.
“I felt like I had a secret inside me that no one would believe if I said it out loud. How do you explain to a person that the song that’s potentially stuck in their head was something I took part in making? I mean, we practically started off as jokes and memes at our school and being called soundcloud rappers. Next thing you know everyone was plagued by the sound of ‘Pressure’. Not even knowing who Novagang was. Not even knowing who we were.”
Inspirations and Influences
Mir Mir, known by his family and peers as Emir, claims that like most artists he has become addicted to music at a young age. He used to download free apps on his Ipad where he was able to listen to every song he wanted while watching the music video or lyrics on youtube. His concept on genres was broad even as a child, listening to whatever he’d find on Vevo, hear on the radio, or even any song he heard his mom play while cleaning. Mir Mir says that whatever he listened to always had phases. “I’d casually go from listening to music about tractors and love to hardcore songs about like 4th degree manslaughter. I literally would innocently shift from Keith Urban to NWA.” Mir Mir states that these were some of his favorite artists growing up, along with 2000’s mainstream artists like Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias, and even Albanian artists like Noizy, who he was exposed to by his cousins back home. His sightless absorption of genre wasn’t a surprise to us, as these different sounds are likely what shapes him to create his own style of music.
Describing his discography as his own style of music isn’t even an exaggerated description. Mir Mir literally implements sounds that would feel exotingly out-of-pocket to your average listener. Like the next guy is one of the songs by Mir Mir that our executive writer came across, whom described it as a 3 minute shift from a high-reverb Emo/EDM style to a deep voiced vocal, soulful, Kanye West type beat.
Social media prescence
Interestingly enough, music isn’t what Mir Mir thrives mainly off. Tiktok has been a partial outlet for him during the Covid-19 pandemic. He states that his friend practically forced him to install Tiktok and as he was scrolling through he came across a funny Albanian video. This opened a path for him as he was urging to take part in it and upload his own sense of humor themed through his culture.
“I almost never met people from my country [Albania] at my school. I didn’t think there were that many of us, so I really looked up to these little creators across the world who shared this line of blood in common with me.”
He explains that his very first upload got 50,000 views and the next one got a whopping 300,000. Within less than a week he hit one thousand followers. He states that having been only 15 at the time, his parents did not want him to pave that aspect of life through social media so he took a long break from uploading content. Although, he states that he privately made an account that had over 400,000 followers, and eventually got banned with supposedly no evident reason. Fortunately, he felt motivated to start fresh and continued uploading on his current Tiktok account, emirnoballer, which he created months ago and already reached 3 videos with over 1 million views.
Mir Mir does not often collide Tiktok with his music, for the reason being an interesting term he uses; “pity streams”.
“I don’t want people listening to my music because I made it. I want it to be something I emerge from because people actually like it from a music standpoint. On God I never want to be one of those guys that begs people to listen to their songs. I’m just still trying to find a way I can blend my tiktok with my music in a way that doesn’t make it seem like a phase or me trying to act ambitious. I don’t wanna be classified as a musician or a tiktoker, I just want to make whatever comes to my mind cuz I know I’m fortunate enough to be able to do that.”
Polyglot
At the end of the interview, we topped it off with our classic and often most surprising question.
“Give us a fun fact about you. Outside of music… something people wouldn’t really guess.”
A polyglot is a person that can speak 4 or more languages, and Mir Mir seems to top that off. He claims that his mother did not allow him or his siblings to use electronics on weekdays up until his Freshman year of high school in order to focus on education. He’d use his school device to often watch youtube or use garageband, the digital audio workstation he started with. He had an interest in cultures and languages, being born first learning Albanian and English, then eventually taking Spanish at school. He learned some Arabic from his prayers and felt inspired to pick up German through his peers and online. Musically, he even has 2 featured songs in Albanian and Spanish.
What’s next for Mir Mir?
Having dived deeper into his character, we project Mir Mir to continue growing and producing. We would be saddened to hear Mir Mir privately denounce credit of himself by not promoting his talent to the max capacity. His blend of Soul and Bubblegum Bass provides a unique, jumpy style of music that is too extraordinary to be held quietly. Mir Mir is definitely a respective artist and someone listeners should adapt into consideration for a new taste in music production as he continues to release.
From the quiet corners of Chester County, Pennsylvania, a young artist named JiNX discovered his escape, his therapy, and his truth in music. What began as a simple outlet for expression has evolved into a lifelong mission — turning pain into purpose and transforming raw emotion into sound that resonates with listeners from all walks of life.
For JiNX, music wasn’t just something to do; it was something to survive by. Writing songs at a young age gave him a way to make sense of life’s chaos, a form of self-expression that offered clarity when words alone fell short. Every lyric he wrote and every beat he built became a step toward healing. Now, his goal is to give that same comfort and understanding back to others — to be a voice for those who can’t always find their own and to remind people that they’re never truly alone.
His sound is as versatile as his journey. JiNX has crafted music across multiple genres — from hip-hop and trap to melodic R&B and pop-inspired rhythms. His unique ability to blend emotion with energy has made his work stand out, whether he’s producing, writing, or ghostwriting for others. Having contributed to projects ranging from A-list artists to underground talents, JiNX’s creativity knows no boundaries.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Juice WRLD, JiNX brings a rare blend of melancholic melodies, freestyle spontaneity, and intricate beat switches that capture both the highs and lows of life. His music hits hard but carries a message — stories of pain, growth, and transformation told through vibey 808s and emotionally charged verses.
“I’ve been through a lot in life,” JiNX shares, “but I’m grateful for all those experiences. They built the foundation for my music.” That foundation is built on authenticity — every track a reflection of real emotions, every bar a piece of his truth. It’s that honesty that allows listeners to connect, to feel seen, and to find a piece of themselves in his songs.
As JiNX’s artistry continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: his dedication to inspiring through transparency, storytelling, and heart. From his beginnings in Chester County to the growing global audience tuning in to his sound, JiNX proves that even the deepest pain can give rise to the most powerful art.
Because sometimes, struggle creates sound — and sound creates healing.

Dr. Meleeka Clary Ghosh: A multifaceted professional: clinical psychologist, filmmaker, actor, model & social justice advocate
Dr. Meleeka Clary Ghosh is a multifaceted professional: clinical psychologist, filmmaker, actor, model, and social-justice advocate. Recently, she was honored with major awards in 2025 for her work in both mental‐health advocacy and media. This article traces her journey, highlights her recent recognitions, and reflects on the impact of her work.
Early Life & Education
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Dr. Clary Ghosh grew up in a blended family and discovered early a passion for performance and helping others. She pursued higher education with determination:
Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Criminal Justice (Curry University)
Paralegal certification at Northeastern University
Later, she embarked on a PhD in Clinical Psychology at Walden University, which she completed.
Her educational path signals a transition from legal and criminal‐justice work into a deep commitment to psychological healing and systemic reform.
Career Spanning Psychology, Legal Advocacy & Media
Dr. Clary Ghosh’s professional portfolio is broad and ambitious:
As clinical psychologist, she focuses on post‐traumatic growth, women’s empowerment, trauma recovery, and reform in court systems, especially for marginalized populations. Her background in criminal justice and paralegal work further informs her advocacy.
Film & Acting
Her creative career includes acting in television (e.g., “Greenleaf”, “Nashville”, “The Resident”) and directing/writing films. Notably, her directorial debut, Three Corners of Deception, is based on her personal legal struggles and has received critical acclaim.
Major Awards & Recognitions (2025)
In June 2025, Pop Hustlers reported that Dr. Clary Ghosh was recognized by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) as Top Clinical Psychologist of the Decade. Additionally, she won “Best Host” at the “Luxury Gala 2025” for her talk show (“The Dr. Meleeka Clary Show” on Bold Brave TV), where she addresses depression, trauma, social healing and transformation.
Here’s a brief overview of her awards:
Top Clinical Psychologist of the Decade (IAOTP, 2025)
Best Host (Luxury Gala, 2025)
Empowered Woman of the Year (IAOTP, 2024)
Best Human Rights Director (Toronto International Women’s Film Festival, 2021)
These recognitions reflect her cross‐disciplinary impact: psychology, media, activism.
What Sets Her Apart
Several aspects of Dr. Clary Ghosh’s work make her stand out:
Interdisciplinary approach: She merges clinical psychology, film, legal advocacy and media to effect change.
Personal narrative: Her own legal and traumatic experiences (e.g., around divorce and court systems) inform her storytelling and therapy work.
Empowerment focus: She emphasizes giving voice to the marginalized—especially women dealing with trauma, legal struggles and systemic barriers.
Media leverage: Rather than remaining strictly in a clinical or academic setting, she uses film and television as platforms for social justice and mental‐health awareness.
Challenges & Controversies
No career of this scale is without complications. For example, in 2025 a detailed court decision in Indiana records litigation between Dr. Clary Ghosh and her ex‐husband regarding judgments and alleged asset transfers. While this doesn’t detract from her professional accomplishments, it does underscore the very real personal and legal challenges she has faced and integrated into her work.
Impact & Future Outlook
Dr. Clary Ghosh’s trajectory suggests she will continue to expand her reach in both mental‐health advocacy and media:
Her recognition as “Top Clinical Psychologist of the Decade” positions her as a leader in trauma recovery and social justice within psychology.
Her film and talk‐show work suggest she will keep utilizing storytelling to amplify issues such as court reform, women’s rights and mental‐health awareness.
Given her advocacy for systemic change (legal, social, media), she may influence policy or institutional practices in addition to individual therapy and creative work.
Takeaways
Dr. Meleeka Clary Ghosh exemplifies the blending of professional disciplines—psychology + activism + media—to create a unique force for change.
Her awards indicate recognition across fields and highlight the value of multidisciplinary engagement.
For individuals exploring how to merge passion, purpose and profession, her career offers a compelling example.
The challenges she has faced illustrate the complexity behind public achievement—and how resilience and authenticity often drive meaningful work.
“My filmmaking journey has always been tied to my growth as a woman,” she says. “Every time life forced me to evolve, I used to go into hibernation—disappear from everyone until I came back stronger. But now, I’ve learned how to keep showing up, to keep creating and sharing while I’m still doing the inner work.” Some artists find their voice through success. For Abeni Nazeer, she found hers through healing.
That balance between purpose and presence defines where Nazeer is today. “Every day I focus on loving the parts of myself that need attention,” she explains. “And it’s wild how much life starts aligning when you work on yourself from the inside out.”
Breaking Through with Sin
One of those alignments was her breakout project, Sin—her first feature film as a director. The opportunity came from Dutch (Kwame), the film’s writer, who discovered her after seeing a music video she directed for her sister. “He told me he liked my eye and wanted me to bring his story to life,” she remembers.
Sin came with challenges—four producers, multiple creative directions, and the constant tug between business and vision. “It was a learning curve,” Nazeer admits, “but it was also magical.”
Working alongside Lou Gossett Jr., a legend in his own right, became a defining moment. “He treated me like family. He shared so much wisdom, welcomed me into his home, and showed me what real artistry looks like,” she says. “And my leads, Angel and Bella Black—they gave everything. Sin wasn’t just a movie; it was a family. It was chaotic and beautiful at the same time.”
Stepping into the Next Chapter
Now, Abeni is stepping into her next creative evolution. Her upcoming series, Barely, is currently in development and will likely find its home on Tubi or Amazon Prime. “It’s raw, real, and emotional,” she says. “It tells the kind of story that reminds people they’re not alone.”
Following that is her bold new horror film, Rush, which premieres November 21 at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills on Wilshire Boulevard. “Rush shows another side of me,” she says. “It’s intense, it’s daring, and it’s rooted in everything I’ve learned as both a director and a woman. It’s about taking risks—creatively and spiritually.”
A Director with Purpose
When asked what drives her, Nazeer smiles. “My mission as a director is simple: to tell the truth,” she says. “I want my films to make people feel something real—to spark conversation, to make them see that healing and growth can be beautiful. Every story I tell is part of my evolution. And honestly, I’m just getting started.”
