How does your music bring inspiration to the soul?:
“I always try to make my music relatable – one of the most universal feelings is love, and I try to tell stories that everyone has probably gone through at least once. I also have songs in which I try to address mental health issues, since I have gone through that myself as well and it’s something I hope continues to be less stigmatized. It can truly happen to anyone, and you just never know when you or someone you love may be affected by it. Everyone deserves empathy and understanding – I also want to show through my music how you can move on and gain strength from your experiences as well. I wouldn’t take back the things I went through because it really built me into who I am today and even though it was extremely hard, I am grateful for the lessons I learned.”

Who inspires you? Who are your role models?:
“I have always been most inspired by my two older siblings – they taught me so much growing up, and were really my guiding light in terms of morals, hard work, and how to navigate the world with integrity. They have accomplished so much and I am insanely proud of them. They are a huge part of who I am today and I am thankful for always having them in my life.”

Why do you want to be an award-winning Modern Soulful Musician?:
“I want to be an award-winning Modern Soulful Musician because I have loved music all my life. It was the first thing that really made me feel like myself – singing came naturally to me, and it was something I could always do to feel more grounded and connected to the world around me. Oftentimes growing up, listening to music and singing was something I did alone in my room – it helped me express myself and explore complicated feelings that I didn’t know how to process yet.

I always knew in my heart I wanted to be a singer, but things didn’t really work out that way for me for different reasons. Nonetheless, I never gave up on it and something always called me back. And even though I’m making music again, it still isn’t easy! It brought up complicated feelings for me, but at this point I’m just making music for myself and nobody else – if people end up loving it then that’s a bonus. I just want to do things my way this time, without the toxicity of the music industry holding me back. Thank you for listening to my story, and I appreciate all that you do to uplift independent musicians!”

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Mia Kai on becoming a finalist for the Modern Soulful Music Awards for the 2023-2024 season. We are honored to have her as part of our music community, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for this incredibly talented artist. Keep shining, Mia!
