OHMME / Miette Hope

The ohm is a unit of electrical resistance between two points of a conductor; OHMME lives in that resistance, creating electric chaos between the two points of Chicago’s Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart.

The energy from their musical upbringings enabled the two to create a vocal project that combines flawless harmonies with a gnarled guitar backbone. They veer toward experimentation while keeping tune in mind, choosing to push each other when they clash and to follow the sound rather than holding themselves to a rigid set of standards on how chords should be performed and arranged. The resulting sound is familiar, yet beautifully unconventional.

Miette Hope is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter and independent artist from Colorado Springs, Colorado. She is attending Berklee College of Music on the first ever Vans Off The Wall Scholarship. Her style features emotional, honest lyrics over spatially rhythmic grooves. Hope plays with a five-piece band.
