Mia Russell is a bass player, vocalist and artist manager from Northern California. Her love of playing started when she joined a rock band as a guitarist in middle school but quickly moved to bass. Throughout high school she not only continued to play in rock bands but in her church worship band as well. Moving to Southern California in 2021, Mia was able to study bass and music business at college before transferring to California Baptist University in 2024. She has been able to not only grow in her commercial performance abilities, but also learn how to manage artists as well. Mia hopes to continue managing artists in the future as well as continue playing bass. She is also working on original music that she hopes to release in the near future.

I want to thank God, my friends, family, and everyone else who has supported me in my musical journey. Your encouragement and support has meant so much to me. I also want to thank my entire band for all of the work they’ve put into this recital. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you all. I want to thank my professors who have been so supportive and who have inspired me to be a better musician. You have helped me grow in my confidence and my musical abilities so much since I’ve been here.
Thank you :)
