Bryant was born in
Gothenburg, Sweden to a British father and a
Finnish mother. She attended Finnish school there and also spent time in Finland, in her mother's hometown of
Iisalmi. According to Bryant, during her childhood, people of Finnish background were looked down upon in Sweden, which is why she highlighted her English side as a child. She began to write songs in 2011 together with her childhood friend,
Victor Rådström who is a producer and songwriter. Four months later, she produced three songs released in her single debut "Finders, Keepers" in March 2012 through the record label 100 songs. The song received worldwide attention among bloggers and music sites. She is signed to
Warner Music in Sweden and to
Interscope Records in the United States. She has collaborated with music producer and DJ
Zedd, who first heard her on the German radio. Zedd made a remix of her song "Push Play" on his re-released album. Bryant released her
Push Play EP on 8 October 2013 through Interscope Records, her debut release in the United States. In 2015, Bryant was one of eight artists being involved in the programme
Så mycket bättre on the Swedish commercial channel
TV4. After that, her popularity grew quickly. In 2017, Bryant was nominated for Best Live Act on the
Swedish Grammis. In 2018, British press wrote the following about her single—
Clash magazine wrote "Highly Intelligent and completely infectious", and
The Line of Best Fit wrote "Miriam Bryant is your next pop superhero". In 2018, she played at
Roskilde Festival and
The Great Escape Festival, to name a few. In December 2019, she hosted the TV and radio fundraising project
Musikhjälpen in
Västerås together with
Daniel Hallberg and
Farah Abadi.
