About
Mia is a composer, performer, and educator based in Manchester.
Growing up listening to film scores, Mia showed an enthusiasm for music at an early age. Learning drums at 7 and piano at 8, Mia was composing and performing in bands throughout school, and has now amassed over 15 years of professional playing and writing experience in anything from high-energy classic rock to emotional contemporary classical.
Alongside completing her degree in ‘Film Music’ at Leeds Conservatoire, she began composing original scores for indie films. Her first film score, for Birdwatching (released 2021), won the Ramsgate Film Award, establishing her music as emotionally intuitive and an essential part in each film. In 2024, three of her film scores were featured in film premieres in both Manchester and London.
In addition to her independent film work, Mia joined leading audio branding firm PHMG in 2022, composing a wide array of musical tracks for national and international brands.
In 2026, Mia continues to expand her portfolio: she is currently working with cinematographer and director ‘Donato Cinclair’ on his project Lost Shoe, and continues to release contemporary classical music under her own name.
Notable venues include the Royal Albert Hall (2018), main stage at Red Rooster Festival (2024), The Muni Theatre, Colne (2025), Deaf Institute (2023) and Band on the wall (2023).
Mia’s most recent international accomplishment was a US tour (2024) with Kaspar Berry Rapkin, playing iconic venues such as The Blue front cafe, (Bentonia, Mississippi)The Bluesberry cafe (Clarkesdale, Mississippi) and Chickie Wah Wah, (New Orleans).
