Recorded as part of Open Sessions in New York City, Mia Gladstone’s energy resonates on a home-turf-high as she bounces around to her own uplifting lyricism.
“Love overpowers everything,” Mia says, mid-stride after the joint is all but ash. “It’s like the natural human instinct, but then we’re still so disconnected from that as a society.”
A songwriter since the second grade, Mia’s became a self-taught producer when she grew impatient waiting on other people, building the beats herself for songs like “Grow” and “Love U.”
“I started producing on Mixcraft when I was in elementary school,” Mia says, “and then I’d record my songs on keys and add little production elements on Garage Band until I got Logic — probably my freshman or sophomore year of high school.”
Right now, Mia’s working on visuals for a couple of her tracks, as well as a little producer project on the side.
