atrese LaJoy Green was born April 14, 1975, in Rocky Mount, NC and grew up in the small town of Sharpsburg, 5 miles further south. She got her pseudonym from her grandmother who nicknamed her “Minnesota Fats” because she was a chubby baby. The nickname was shortened to Mini and has stuck with her over the years. Mini began singing with her father, Bobby Green, in a Top 40 band called “Electric Image” in 1990. The band traveled throughout the southern United States performing for many different types of audiences. With the band she was exposed to and performed music from the R&B, Country, Blues and Jazz genres. She has covered songs by Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Shania Twain, Alicia Keyes,
The Supremes and more. After traveling with the band for more than 15 years, Mini longed to step out of her father’s shadow. She left the band in 2006 but put her music on hold while she explored other career paths. In 2009, she married and began to reevaluate her life. This reflection led her back to her first love, music.
Presently, Mini spends her days in her home studio writing music and lyrics. She aspires to become one of the premier songwriters of our time. Currently her songs are published on Sonicbids.com. You can hear them by going to her personal Electronic Press Kit at http://www.sonicbids.com/MissMini Her hard hitting song “Who She Is” has become a local success and is beginning to create buzz on the web.
