Miranda

Miranda was a short-lived French eurodance group active from 1999 to 2001. The project was founded by producers Louis Corte (aka Louis Element) and Harry Verschuere (aka Johnny Williams). It was fronted visually by model Sandra Miranda García, discovered by the producers in 1998 when she appeared as a dancer in a Ricky Martin video clip.

The powerful voice heard on almost all Miranda tracks is Lavelle McKinnie Duggan, also known as La Velle. She also sang vocals for B-One, another dance project by the same producers.

Louis Corte is a French DJ/producer born in Metz, France, in 1973. At age 14, he worked as a radio DJ on “frequence sud-canal 102”, sharing his passion for funk and disco. After two years as a sports journalist/producer at RTL TV in Luxembourg, he continued through clubs and radio before starting his own record company. He composed, wrote, sang, and produced with former partner Johnny « Giovani Monza » Williams on projects including Miranda. Their track vamos a la playa was later covered by Loona in 2010/2011.

Alongside that, Louis Corte worked on projects such as Sub Z°ΞRʘ, Kiss The Beat, House Control, Roman Photo, and B-One. He also produced many remixes for commercial dance acts including La Bouche, Larusso, Nadiya, and Alliage.
