Picture the thing you fear the most. Then turn it into music.
Hailing from Brighton, Mia Ardinez continues to prove emo music was never a phase. Having trained as a classical pianist, Ardinez independently released her debut EP at just eighteen years old and has since earned a master’s degree in music. Mia’s latest single ‘qué fuerte’ is a candid anthem that pays homage to artists from emo’s golden era – including Evanescence, Paramore, and Avril Lavigne – while infusing a fresh, modern edge.
Summer 2023 saw Mia tour the south-east of England and record her sophomore EP which is due for release in 2024.
