Melody Damayo aka Mimi Miyagi (stage name) was born in Davao City, Philippines 1973. She moved to the United States following her parents escaped during Marcos' dictatorship, and she grew up in California mainly attending private schools. With her parents needing to start all over from scratch, they ended up in a very poor neighborhood of Los Angeles, in a 1 bedroom fitting 4 people. Her mother opened up 2 Damayo Clinics and father opened up 2 Farmers Insurance Agencies. She went back to Mindanao to finish high school, her family enrolled her in a Seventh Day Adventist academy in remote Bukidnon province, hoping she would absorb Filipino values.
After finishing high school, she went to college to study economics and enjoyed her disc jockey college radio station volunteer job. Deciding to change courses to pursue her passion for fashion, Mimi returned to Los Angeles to attend the American College for Fashion Merchandising, but once again she dropped out without graduating, when she'd run out of money and begun looking for jobs.
As she was now of legal age, she began performing as a pornographic actress and also became a Certified Masters Makeup Artist . Just a few weeks past her 18th birthday, she came across an ad for nude nodeling and answered it. It was the beginning of her rise in the adult industry. Her journey was not without its challenges. When Mimi first started out in the industry, people told her repeatedly that there just wasn't a market for Asian adult stars, but she refused to give up. Even though Mimi was always the least paid actress on the set, she struggled and continue knocking on studio producers doors. In the next 2 years, she became the most recognized Asian adult star around. With television stations chasing her down to document her, including E! Online, Fox Files, HBO, Playboy TV, WB the list goes on.Despite her fame, the money wasn't rolling in as she thought it would. This was because as an actress, model, and dancer, she wasn't receiving any royalties for her work. She realized that if she wanted to make money in this business, she had to take control of her career. Her first step was to climb the ladder from her existing side job as a writer into acquiring the job as Publisher of "Oriental Dolls", an erotic Asian magazine. Now called "Asian Hotties". Gaining control of decisions to what will be placed in the public eye for print, this was the first step to creating a larger audience for Asian females. When the new form of media such as the internet came along, she quickly learned to code her own website to expand the Asian market. Now with access to a global public audience. She also saw a trend of multimedia demand for online streaming videos in 1999. With this in mind, Mimi entered into movie production and talent scouting for Metro Home Video and produced the series she entitled "Fantasiany Series #1,2,3,4". Featuring all Asian starlets.
Year 2001, bankrupted by her divorce she quietly dedicated herself to several volunteer organizations.
Year 2002, she appeared again in public as a "Pro-wrestling student" in September for Playboy Magazine.
