Perfect! Surpassed my expectations, and it took less than a day to receive the final recording. I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Mia.

Mia was absolutely amazing to work with, a true professional at what she does! Was delighted with the vocals she recorded for my track, with some brilliant harmonies and ad libs also. Would be great to collaborate again in the future, don't hesitate to work with her!

Mia is an excellent singer/songwriter with a unique voice that suits many different genres. She always comes up with creative ideas that can truly bring a song to life. Always a pleasure working with her!

This girl could sing the phone book!! Mia is an exceptional vocalist. She is fun, creative, versatile, professional and her vocal ideas are second to none. I would absolutely recommend Mia without hesitation.
by Georgia Tuohey
I have worked with Mia on several projects and been in lots of sessions with Mia over the last few years. Her vocal quality is amazing and very versatile with a soulful uniqueness. She works at a great pace and picks up harmonies insanely quick to add the icing on the cake of every track. Mia has the ability to get involved on a project at whatever stage, jump right in and crack on, understanding the brief and delivering amazing vocals. Would highly recommend her creativity and hope we get to work together again at some stage.

Having worked with Mia in the past I highly commend her professionalism and creative abilities. The harmonies she provides are outstanding and her top line writing is full of innovative and memorable ideas. I would highly recommend Mia to anyone in the industry as she is a pleasure to work alongside.
by George Holliday
Literally blown away with every idea Mia comes up with that it makes it hard as a producer to choose which idea to work with. Recently did a campaign song draft for an Emirates ad and her vocal and ideas were 100% why we even got on their radar. Will be working with Mia a bunch more this year that's for sure!

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: -What style would you like me to sing? -Do you have a reference for the song? -Do you have a lyrics sheet for pre-written lyrics?

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: Strong lead vocals plus extra exciting elements such as harmonies, layers and ad-lib tracks for you to choose from. I will always offer at least 2 ad-lib tracks so that you can pick and choose your favourite!
