Today we’d like to introduce you to Mia Garcia.
So, before we jump into specific questions, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I grew up in San Diego, California with a musical family and quickly fell into playing guitar. My older brothers argentine bandmates would teach me bossa nova and funk and I became infatuated with these sounds. I went on to play in several bands and compose my own music with traveling.
I attended Spain’s Berklee College of Music last year while lightly touring and writing for the album and am currently attending USC in LA. I am releasing a collaborative project near September and will be working on two new albums following that debut release. I am also the guitarist for various artists and produce/write/compose my own music.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has sometimes been challenging being a female in a mainly male-dominated industry. It feels as though I do have to prove myself at times more than my colleagues. But at the same time, I have been lucky to work with so many open-minded females in the music industry who have helped me own my energy and move forward with confidence.
Please tell us about Justmkg.
I am a musician and creative all across the board. I love writing songs and telling stories that have the capability of healing those who absorb the sonic influence. Music has such a profound way of healing and If someone can relate or feel better after hearing something I’ve created then I know my goal has been achieved.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I feel that I am still really young in my career and wouldn’t change anything. As long as I move forward with positive intentions and use honesty, I feel that I can grow and flourish in my craft.
