About the artist

Synthesising delicate vocals with club-ready percussion, miamusa (@__miamusa) is an artist, producer, and songwriter from Birmingham, now based in London, UK. Dissecting her identity through her music, miamusa’s layered sonics are inspired by her intersectionality as a queer, Black woman. Rebelling against the societal demarcations placed upon her, writing music became a tool for miamusa to channel her emotions as a teenager. She taught herself production, blurring the lines of electronic and R&B, and designing her sonic world inspired by a constellation of influences, including Kelela, James Blake, George Riley, SBTRKT, and TYGAPAW. Her music soon caught the attention of trailblazing jungle icon SHERELLE, and miamusa was invited to become a part of her Beautiful x AIAIAI Academy. ‘Blame Me’, miamusa’s return to music in 2023, resonated with listeners across social media, generating a viral spark. Gathering over 300,000 streams across DSPs and being spotlighted as Rakeem Omar’s ‘Track of the Week’ on BBC Radio WM, with further radio attention from NTS, No Signal, Worldwide FM, Rinse FM, and BBC Bristol & WM, solidified miamusa’s presence. This culminated in a string of successful shows at The Pickle Factory, Matchstick Piehouse, and The State51 Factory, along with a festival debut at We Out Here. miamusa is emblematic of a new generation of creators. Boundaryless and unique, she exists at the cross-section of emotions and 808s, with a sound that is pure club catharsis.
