Lafayette Has Another Rising Christian Superstar, Mia Montero
Growing up in the small town of Lafayette, Louisiana, Mia M was drawn to music at a very early age. She started singing when she was only five years old and began playing guitar and writing songs as a young teenager. Although humbled by her small-town upbringing, her musical desires eventually led her to perform in Austin, Texas, a much bigger city by comparison, at the age of 15 in order to make her musical dreams a reality.
Mia’s successes have led to collaborations with musicians such as Johnathan Cochran, covering James Arthur’s “Say You Won’t Let Go”. Her first EP, Seasons, was featured on Christian radio. In the summer of 2017, Mia M opened for the 2012 American Idol Winner, Phillip Phillips, at the Blue Bayou / Dixie Landin' Summer Concert Series. Mia M is a verified artist on Spotify.
When shifting from Mellow Pop to Contemporary Christian during college, Mia M began falling in love with music more and more. She felt that God was calling her and she needed to "only create music for the Glory of God".
Mia's fan will get new music this year – including her debut album towards the end of the year. Her debut album is the first glimpse of Contemporary Christian music.
