Originally from Chicago, MIA is a Queer independent, self-produced vocalist and songwriter based in Manhattan. MIA taught herself music production when she was 19, and released her debut EP DRINKING ALONE two years later. A combination of inspiration from Jazz, Neo-Soul, and Experimental sounds, MIA is a powerhouse of emotional and vocal-heavy bedroom beats. MIA's newest project, "Floating", takes the listener everywhere & nowhere. A song written to reflect her complex feelings following the death of a loved one, "Floating" is a testament to MIA's unique sound and production style, as well as her ability to push the song forward through her lyricism and nuance of voice.
