Nomad extraordinaire, Mia Zepeda is originally from nowhere in particular. Born in the Dominican Republic to Peace Corps volunteer parents (a wildlife biologist and a forester), Mia grew up moving from state to state to not-quite-a-state and back again, including parts of California, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, and Texas. She began her musical journey at age 5, picking out songs by ear on the piano, and taking more formal lessons from her mother as part of her home school curriculum. Mia learned how to play the guitar while attending Florida State University, and after messing around with the thing for a few months she began writing her own songs. She released her debut EP, "Waiting to Breathe" in the summer of 2007 ( www.cdbaby.com, itunes), and shortly afterwards suffered from a serious case of restlessness, prompting her to pack her bags and move to South Korea.
These days she can be seen performing at various gigs around the Seoul area.
Still luving your grooves after all this time... my name used to be "Just me" on here. We have been friends on myspace for YEARS, now! I just realized today, that I hadn't given you any props lately... so here they are: Luv your tunes!!! Let me know if you ever tour the mid-west! <3 Miss Mandie Mae
hey there, saw that you were on line and just saying hello. I'm just getting ready to go to work, your probably just getting to bed. Hope all is well, talk to you soon.
I work at stickerjunkie. com, and on nine/seven/zeroeight you are going to be the myspace music link of the day! Woo-Hoo cool for you, yes. Anyways its on the main page of the site so be sure to go by on that date and see your name on a major website! Its in a section called daily links. ..okay bye hope your doing well.
Hey there, we havn't exchanged lines for a while. I hope life is treating you well in S Korea. Things are good here in Montana. But on the other hand when are things not good in MT. Shoot if my calulations are correct. your year will be up here pretty soon. Whats your plans after that. Talk to ya soon.
I'm glad to here that your not being held agianst your will. I suppose thats a pretty ignorant american thing to think. I'd hate to think that Bushism is actually sinking in. (makes me shiver just thinking about it). I'm glad all is well for you and just for the rub it in factor, I've been skiing alot this winter. And the snow has been epic. By the way just so you know I'm still trying to beat your time on Mindsweeper. I'm still a little annoyed about that. jks Later
I was listening to Schuyler Fisk and then I thought, "Man, she sure sounds like Mia." You're material worth investing in, Mia! If she can make it there's no reason you won't!
Alright Mia how are you doing? I hope you had a good xmas and new years. Have you been doing many gigs lately? Have you got any lined up in the near future?
