Mia's Music

Rock on! Starting from banging pots and pans as a baby, I've drummed for many years and wouldn't be complete without it.

Music! Music! Music!

MUSIC NEWS:

Check out this track by Bradelecto & um, me!

I'm focusing more on acting and yoga in 2008, but I did join a fun rock/pop band with good friends. It's super fun hitting the skins again. I did record back up vocals with good friend John Greenfield in February. It was great fun! John & I have played music together for a decade.

I drummed in Tatsu Aoki's project in Millennium Park on July 27, 2006. Cats and Jammers. We put on an eneretic show playing *smart* pop songs.

If I quit being so scaredy cat, I'll throw up a ruff MP3 of some songs I'm writing on this site. Someone kick me!

Kim is the best band I've ever been in. I love us! I miss me some Janet Kim and Yanti Arifin, but life took us in different directions. Long Live Kim! Check out Janet's band, Wanamaker.

A very fun side project for me is Illinois First! John Greenfield strikes again with witty lyrics and catchy melodies. This band is all about the history of Illinois! It's great fun! We got great press recently...good stuff.

Rock Mime World is a unique project that I'm happy to play with! Carleton's been miming for years and his cool mime shows are accompanied by the talented Jow Kroka. Neat stuff...and I dig playing with a mime, how cool is that?

I LOVED LOVED LOVED playing with Tatsu Aoki and his Asian American jazz band, Miyumi Big Band. I was honored to drum in his master composition, "Rooted: Origins of Now" and consider Tatsu a mentor.
