Hello! My name's Mia, and I'm a singer/songwriter, vocalist, and composer. Between my personal music and my freelance work, I’ve written over two hundred songs, in a variety of genres. I also have a certificate in Lyric Writing from Berklee Online. I can't wait to work with you!
I’ve been writing songs since middle school, and I'm now a verified artist on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms. I adore the art of songwriting, and I love helping bring other artists' visions to life. :)

Melody Writing: $125/song

Lead Vocals: $100/song

Consultations/Feedback - Reach out for a custom offer
I write mostly by ear, so for lyric writing, I'll deliver a PDF of the lyrics. For melody writing, I'll deliver a PDF of the lyrics including chords, and a demo of me singing the melody. For harmonies/vocals, I'll deliver .wav files and a rough demo mix.
*If you plan to sell the song or release commercially: I charge an extra $200 for commercial use, but I offer discounts for small businesses, indie artists, non-profits, or educational use. I don't require royalty splits but I prefer to receive credit as a songwriter when possible.
If you hire me to create music for your short film, I can also distribute the soundtrack to Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms with cover art and a release date of your choice, for no additional cost (with your permission, of course)!

check_circleVerified (Client)Mia is professional kind talented and completely wonderful to work with!! Great attention to detail and a true artist !!!!!!! def hope to work together again soon !
check_circleVerifiedVery very happy. I had the worst connectivity ever while in very rural mountains, yet it still worked out. Mia was great, she had a process yet the end product was almost spookily what I originally envisioned. I liked the work, and so did my friends who got a chance to listen to in the car as well. Def working with Mia again if I have the chance.

- A Review of My Song "Dust"May 21, 2019
Amelia Vandergast of the A&R Factory reviewed my original song "Dust." She called my style "quaintly expressive," with "a slight touch of the Amanda Palmer madness...due to her ability to pack plenty of syllables into her verses and make a mean melody from a ukulele."
