Pop Culturalist caught up with Mia to chat about Daydream.
PC: How did you discover your passion for music?
Mia: As soon as I saw a piano at four years old, I was fixated on it. I started singing everything I was hearing on the radio.
PC: Who or what has had the biggest influence on your career?
Mia: My parents. Their unwavering support and encouragement pushed me to follow my dreams.
PC: What’s one thing you know now that you wish you knew when you started this career?
Mia: How important it is to read the fine print when you sign contracts! Also, always think with your own best interest in mind.
PC: PC: You’ve had a lot of success already in your career. When you look back, is there a particular moment that stands out?
Mia: Definitely when I headlined my own show in Russia for 200,000 people—that was the biggest and most humbling moment of my life. Seeing how music can reach so many people and realizing that I had made my dreams into reality was such a big moment.
PC: You recently released a new EP. Tell us about Daydream and the inspiration behind the collection.
Mia: Daydream was definitely a compilation of the records that I had recorded in the past two years that I felt needed to be released. I also wanted to show how I’ve evolved as an artist and the musical direction I’m going in.
PC: If you had to pick one song off of Daydream that best encompasses you as an artist, which would it be and why?
