Music Vlog / Mia Morris /Ep. 9 “Lots-a-gigs”/ Nashville Drummer, Multi-instrumentalist, Songwriter

[@Norwegiansteam1]

I’m an ole guy, 72YO. I absolutely adore you and your creative music. The videos where you explain your looping I think are second to none. I honestly think you should be the looping Queen of the music industry. Make them complicated beyond anyone’s imagination or simple, you are at your best when you do looping with your original writings. Multi-instrumentalist or one woman band whatever the proper term, I could watch you all day. Thank you for being brave enough to share your special talents with the world. You are one sharp sassy girl..!

Slow Ride is how I came across this site from searching the oldies.And there is MIA,and I watched her.I'm still smiling.😍

[@charlesrichards1867]

Just remember, all this hard work now will pay off in the future. You are doing well and will deserve all that cones with it. Yes I'm sure everyone loves the vlogs. Not to often you get to see the behind the scenes of a rising star.

Way to go Mia! You are now a professional studio (and gig) musician! You're bona fide! So proud of you. It's been great watching you grow. NETWORK girl! That's how it's done. It's not only WHAT you know, but WHO you know. And it looks like your doing well at that too. I am greatly looking forward to watching your career take off! And, yes, be a SMART Rock Star! Love ya!

[@rayrichardson4025]

Mia ,you in your young life.You are something.I know class when I see it.

[@ironlurker]

Glad to see so many good and exciting things happening for you, Mia. Back in the day when I was more heavily into music I had a bit of a knack of signaling out new artists that went on to be successful/big. (Too bad I was never an A&R rep).I honestly believe you are going to have a great career in music.

[@miamorrismusic]

I like the sound of that! Hopefully someone in A&R will agree with you someday..

[@ebrown405]

Wow that's an extraordinary life you're living for someone so talented and very young. And you still do homework on the road....are you fantastical? LOL, I didn't excel in English class when I was your age. I've gotten better now with time the hard way. My wife is a teacher and she'd help me with my writing (grammar, vocabulary, syntax) from time to time. One time, she previewed a letter I was writing for work. In red ink she had circled, marked, lined through, etc.. all the mistakes I made. I felt like there was more red ink than black. I cried, true story, because she was honest where others weren't. It was a frustrating day indeed but I decided to listen and learn from it. I've gotten better since then but English class was never easy for me. I hope this made ya laugh a bit at my expense but I admire your dedication to your education as well as making your dreams come true. Keep it up because obviously you have the right people in your life. :)

[@miamorrismusic]

Thanks for taking the time to write and for the story about English :) I certainly don't hate school I think I just prefer spending as little time on it as to still learn the material. I know it's a crazy long shot to think I can make a living in music so I better have some studies while I work really, really hard at my crazy choice.

[@libertyjustice2703]

Mia, you may someday be a rockstar, but right now you are much more important. You are a professional musician and obviously one that is in demand. I see nothing but greatness in your future.

[@miamorrismusic]

[@cryhavoc9748]

You never appeared nervous. You looked calm and confident. Looks like you are on your way to being a ⭐. Good luck, and God bless you and your family.

I almost never feel nervous. I sometimes get stressed about having a handle on everything when things get crazy but as long as I'm prepared, playing the songs always feels.. satisfying.

Girl cherish this time of your life right now bc you are so blessed to be able to have this career at such a young age, and your family supporting your journey, it's really beautiful to witness bc this is the lifestyle I fantasized about when I was in high school, but thinking would come to fruition in my late teens/20's. You seem like such a sweet, genuine young woman and it is so cool to see fellow drummers/musicians like yourself following their dreams and living that incredible life. All the best! Shout out to 5 points too haha that made me order up a pizza real quick. Keep doing your thing..

Ha! I'm with ya, sometimes the only way to get past thinking about pizza is to eat some. I appreciate your comment and don't take any of this for granted and I also know it could very quickly disappear. I'm getting calls right now but it doesn't mean I'll get to keep doing this. I love to play and I'd love to do it as long as I can. I hope I'll find ways to be a value to other artists and to get better at my own work and just maybe, one of those paths will last.

Fantastic updat on your exploding career! I was wondering why you hadn't posted in a little bit and now I can see you've been extremely busy! Congrats on all the gigs and thanks so much for sharing this video update.

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm glad you like these vlogs. It is true, I have to make decisions more than I used to about what/how to spend my time. Making videos will always be a part, but for years, that's really all I had to do beside practice.

[@unclebs74]

@@miamorrismusic Your many years of practice shows in your talent, your ability to remain calm and cool under mounting pressure shows your parents good examples and your own capacities to hold yourself together. I applaude you and your parents! As for the vlog videos, I live way out in the country here in Wisconsin, there's no music venues within a hour of my house, I don't do a lot of travling about, so my chances of seeing new and wonderful talent is about zero. Your video's and that of other musicians I follow here on YT give me the chance to see what I couldn't in my area. Thank you for brightening an old man's day.

[@terricklee6268]

Wishing you much luck Mia. Reach for the stars. Nashville certainly has changed since I lived there back in 2000. So has the music for that matter

[@tojafato]

thanks for showing some of your activity outside of Nashville, promoting and preparing music shows, recording videos, etc. is always very laborious and tiring but at your age everything is easy and there is a saying that "who runs for pleasure never get tired "especially when there was good music (The Police -" Roxanne ") 🤙🎼during the trips ... good inspirations Mia🥁👍 👻

Haven't watched for a while but it seems you have been very busy . Yes ,I for one love the vlogs ! It's nice to zone out and see what's happening in Mia world and leave all my stress behind if only for a couple min. That's what entertainment's all about ,its to take the people watching and listening to another place emotionally 😉

[@miamorrismusic]

Hey Mike, thanks. I think that's a big part of what I like about music. Glad you liked these.

[@davevanvlerah5167]

"Smart rock stars." Lol! Awesome response. I'm a little concerned, Mia. You're becoming a real major force, I sincerely hope that you remain humble. I know that Mr. Beck and I, and countless other subscribers tell you how awesome you are, and it's true, but I kinda think that I see a little of that humility slipping. I hope it's just me and that you remain sweet and humble. Awesome to get a quick glimpse of Dad! It was blurry, but I always wondered what he looked like! You have an awesome father, Mia. I know you know that. Tennessee is a very beautiful state. I've been on that highway when I was a kid and it was breathtaking. (Used to live in Johnsonville). If you get a chance, (I'm positive that you will travel extensively in the years to come), check out the Rockies in Colorado. Absolutely gorgeous! Also Pennsylvania has some pretty breathtaking sights. I honestly can't think of a single state that I've visited/lived in that didn't have awesome scenery. You just have to know where to look. You seem extremely intelligent, as most creative people are, do you hate English class? You're so eloquent and have such an extensive vocabulary, I thought that it would be one of your favorite subjects? Anyway, enough blabbering, thanks for the video, and so happy that you're progressing so quickly in your career. Send my regards to dad. Peace and love.

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm doing well in English but the teacher is one of a couple that somehow seemed offended when I'm not in class. I like the subject but I just try to stay out of the way of certain teachers and it can make the class a bit of a drag. Anyway, I think you'd have to be deaf to get a big head as a musician in this town. There are waitresses and uber drivers in this town that have more talent than I may ever have on their particular instrument. I just like to play and love music and I feel confident when I'm doing it, that I can help make songs sound better. I'll give your regards to my Dad :)

[@SixMeter]

Great Work Mia! I like how calm and mature you are at a young age. That with your talent is a gift. Look forward to seeing you on television in the future. I forgot to mention that you are cool in a different kind of cool that defies all others. Love You!

[@miamorrismusic]

I get nervous but not when I'm playing. I sometimes get anxious when I have a bunch to learn on a deadline but by the time I actually play, anything like that disappears. I've even been in on a few train wrecks during live shows and it just doesn't effect my nerves. Teachers and sometimes celebrities make my heart race.. I hope I never get used to the hills to where I don't see them the way I do now. Thanks Brian.

[@MageeMC]

Thank you for the insight into all of the long hard work that goes into working in the music business.

[@miamorrismusic]

I think it may be way more work than most people think but for me, the work is pretty great and just about my favorite thing to do :) I know it's a ridiculously unlikely business to succeed in but when the process is so cool along the way, I'm not really sure I care about the odds of success.

[@MageeMC]

@@miamorrismusic I have no doubt that it's way more work than most people think. Just the time in learning new songs would shock people who haven't done it. I'm glad to hear that you really enjoy doing it, because it is too much work to think about doing if you don't enjoy it. Doing it for reasons other than it being a passion leads to burnout and misery. Whether or not you succeed in it really depends on what you define success as? Would you consider it successful if you were playing the local scene regularly? Doing studio sessions on a regular basis? Making a full time living at either? Touring musician? There are so many different paths in music that can be considered successful. My only advice for now would be to keep doing what you like doing, keep trying different things to figure out if you like them and in the meantime keep going to school and get the most out of that. A good formal education can never be taken away from you and can help you in so many ways that you would never expect that a diploma itself doesn't. I'm going to enjoy watching whichever path you decide to go down as long as you choose to keep making videos to share your experiences. Thank you!

Love these vlogs, Mia. Keep em coming. Love all the artists you played with that week. Tiera is such a sweetheart. And Awake, by Kalie is one of my favorite songs. Can't wait to see her out here in LA on the 20th. Love the "smart rock stars" comment. Gonna have to try 5 points pizza next time I'm in Nash.

[@miamorrismusic]

Thank you very much Robert. If you get to Kalie's show, say hi for me!

[@robertfitch8041]

@@miamorrismusic if I get to meet her there, I will. Saw Mignon last Friday at the same place.

[@robertfitch8041]

@@miamorrismusic I got to see her, and meet her afterwards. I told her, Mia says hi. She was like, Mia Morris? I said, Yeah. She slayed that night. Can't wait for CMA fest.

Thanks for taking an interest and your support Ray.

[@fredaldridge1282]

So sorry Mia , I thought I was already subscribed to your KZbin channel but I wasn’t I am now I love these vlogs glad I sorted this out sounds like you had a great time you living in Nashville you sound like you’re learning and having a great time

[@davebeck8973]

Fred Aldridge Hi Fred, you know the best also!

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm glad you did as well, thank you. I do think this is the town for me.

[@rayhaynes2021]

AWESOME SAUCE!!! I loved the shorter clips on IG but these longer clips are amazing Neighbor!! I'm not sure that "hope you succeed" is a relevant comment anymore because it looks like you are already succeeding! I know you've mentioned that you are becoming known as "the cajon girl" in Nashville and you might not want to be pigeon holed as that, I gotta tell ya if you are considered "THE" of anything musical in Nashville Music City that is success to me Miss Mia. You looked so great and really belonged in all of these musical opportunities. My pride level in you just jumped off the charts. Also I love your love of food! Lol Of course I'm a bit jealous that you stay so slim eating pizza, shakes, Frosties, etc. Haha! Anyway I really love these longer versions of the IG clips and added footage. You have the best content on KZbin, and that's why you are my favorite on here. You just keep getting more and more amazing! I'm probably almost as excited as you that school will be out soon and you can really immerse yourself in more music and share it with us. WooHoo! Well I've exceeded my usual word count so have an awesome weekend Mia! Stay amazing! 😁🤘💕😎 PS. How are your Spotify numbers doing bc cause I'm playing your stuff like crazy! 😁 #cajongirl #foodjunkie #passthepizzaplease #wheredashakesat

[@miamorrismusic]

Good point on the cajon. I'm certainly glad I discovered them and I really do enjoy making a box as musical as I can. I'm glad you like the vlogs and I make a point of working out at least 2 times a week because I think there's no chance I'm going to be staying away from my favorite foods :) Thanks for always using and talking about Spotify, it's going to play a big role if I get to be an artist.

[@MarksMusicCollection]

HI Mia. Thanks for another great VLog. Your name is Mia, and you are a professional musician! Maybe not to the extent you want as yet. Maybe not enough to get you out of science class yet. But you are getting hired and hanging with some really amazing people. You get to do that becuase you are truly amazing and super talened too! I do wonder though how you feel when you see an empty drum kit set up on stange, and you're there playing your cajon. (not meaning to imply anything negative at all about the cajon) You are super talented and you are doing your time, paying your dues, and clocking up plenty of stage and studio time. I know you can and will achieve all you hope to with your music. I love that you are socking up your opertunites to learn from each job and excperience. I wont ever stop palying your music. I wont ever stop cheering you on, for as long as you are happy to have me as a fan. You ARE a smart rockstar! Soon you wont need to do English homwork before gigs. Those days will be over soon enough. Unless of course you choose to keep going with that as well. A theisus for your english masters in your music downtime could be a goal of yours for all I know. What ever you choose to do I know you can succeed. I wont ever know all you hopes and dreams, and nor should I. A stranger in a far off land. (who so very much wants to come see you preform live soneday) I am super greatful for all you do choose to share with us all. Thank you Mia. Its really fun and exciting to see you being appreciated by others in the industry. Its great to know you are being hired, and that is no suprise at all. (I am please to hear folk a looking out for you and taking care of you too). Expect to be turing away work. as you will just have too much to choose from soon enough. It really is great getting to see some of your journey. Thanks Mia. Keep doing your thing your way! :) :) :) Have a great weekend, and a wondeful week ahead. Oh and btw, it was so awesome to catch your harmonies and backing vocals at last weeks Song Suffragettes. You were so great!!! I watch the show online almost ever week. I really must come catch the show in person same day!!

[@miamorrismusic]

Sorry to go in reverse here but, that was fun at the SS's and it's so cool that you see that in a far away land! You're not wrong about the kit but these signer-songwriters often don't have a band and the cajon is really a pretty good fit for much of the music they are doing. If I'm playing more of a percussion roll, I think I rather be on the cajon where I can feel it with my hands and coax out as much dynamics as I can. Now if some rock band was playing some killer riffs, that would be torcher. I think I'll get a few more looks at kit in the future. Thank you for all of your loyal support and encouragement Mark.

[@davebeck8973]

MarkLikesMusic I really like this journey with Mia also Mark! She does soo much. She's getting to where. ..what do I do next. The big demand for her is getting started more and more. I personally "Love her drumming and singing" and enjoy the rest of course! Just as long as she likes what she is doing, that is the important journey. I'm glad to see it all coming along.

[@therealdandyhouse]

There's no stopping you is there, Mia? Great video.

[@miamorrismusic]

Hope not :) Thanks Paulie.

[@kevinfowler8119]

It feels good to be back and reply to you. Your in inspiration to me you really are and I’m 29. 😂😂😂

[@miamorrismusic]

I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment and I'm glad you like what I do. Have a great weekend :)

[@righand3281]

Ya know sumthin, Miss. Mia Morris? A lot of folks throw around the phrase "Yer amazing," and do so without, ostensibly, even considering or knowing what the word "amazing" means or implies. That said, let me tell you that you, young lady....YOU are amazing; and I say that while knowing full well the definition of that word. Keep up yer amazing work.

[@miamorrismusic]

I appreciate your very kind comment. Whatever someone calls what I do, thank you for taking an interest and for supporting it.

[@antoniomartinez6958]

Iam so happy for you!!! I know it's because your a great artist. Show them the beast you are good luck!!!

[@miamorrismusic]

Nice! Thank you so much.

[@rayrichardson4025]

What I wish for you, some where down the road,and I know you will,have a song on the radio.Just one more day.Good things come to those who wait.Be patient Mia. Your on your way.You have many with you.Smile Mia.

[@miamorrismusic]

That would be... quite cool

[@wphb66]

Keep up the great work! And yes, do finish school and get your degree. Super important. (ok, that's the old man "dad" in me). Anyway, you have a very bright future in music. Enjoy every minute of it. Would love to hear some of your original songs when you come up with them. Go Mia!

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm sure you're right. I have maybe 6 or 8 originals on here.. now that I think of it, the song in the beginning and the end of this vlog is one of my songs. It's called, One More Day and there's a full video on here if your interested. Thanks, the more folks that want to hear originals, the better!

[@miamorrismusic]

I've given up on keeping the science teacher happy.. I hope he sees it! Schools out in a month. Sorry.. Thanks :) you have a good one as well.

[@tatoriverboy]

Thanks for sharing Mia. You are very talented and on your way to wonderful things. Keep learning and fine tuning your craft. Maybe you can learn some AfroPeruvian rhythms and show us on the cajón. A fan from Australia.

[@miamorrismusic]

I really use the cajon pretty one dimensionally since I'm mostly playing country & pop. I'm sure I would love that given some spare time.

You have heart.Your down to earth.You have just a little hippie that well,what my younger brother called me back then.A high society hood.You know what?Thats what I am.It's all right to be both.That way,you always keep them guessing.💝

[@spionsilver9626]

Hehe nice to see you all busy .. thats the way to go ~ but take your time and leave room for fun and relax I also wonder a bit .. why you play the box if there is a drum kit like 5 feet away these bands should consider adapting a little drum play anyway rock on Mia ~ im with you

[@spionsilver9626]

also i´d like to see one of the bands try out on one of YOUR songs as well :) time to pull some rank there ~ :) have a nice weekend

[@miamorrismusic]

I like both of your comments and ideas. I'm certainly happy to get the work and I like making a box musical but you're right and I'm working on those other things. I'm really going to try to make progress on my writing this summer and it looks like I may get some chances on kit as well.
