About Me

The Mia Kat Empire is a local independent art and music collective from Houston. TX.We are about those artists who move us and, through whatever medium they choose, create art sonically or visually on their own terms. We try as hard as we can to step aside and allow the artists true creative control of their work and then work tirelessly to gain recognition of it outside of this small group of friends and colleagues. It is our most sincere hope to change the world we live in for the better through the art we support.Please listen, look, and enjoy!
