Mila

As an infant Mila began singing melodies before she learned to speak. At age 10 she wrote her first song and began playing the piano. That same year she set up her first home studio. At age 13 began living "a dual existence." Growing up, Mila’s singing was influenced by the likes of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Bette Midler among some singers. She would eventually learn she has a 5 octave range voice. By the time Mila turned 18 she had lived in Japan on a year scholarship, won numerous singing competitions in Toronto and Japan and acted in several high school plays. She has also written over 500 lyrics, several hundred poems, and several of her cover songs receive radio airplay on an international show in Toronto. She was also fired from her high school choir. At age 19 Mila is featured on a compilation disc titled "Courage To Shine" to aid the Special Olympics in Ontario. That same year Mila learned to play guitar and began playing with a couple of bands. That same year Mila sang back up for Shari Ulrich in concert and began writing folk and rock themed songs while she continued to develop her sound. She admits to calling herself a "melodist" and is heavily passionate about the songwriting process. "Words are just as important as the melody" she says. "While Whitney and Mariah were some of my earlier influences, it has manifested into a wider range of artists like Pink, Bjork and even Styles of Beyond..I absolutely adore their works because it all comes from a real place," says Mila. In 2004 Mila won first place in a singing competition covering songs by Evanescence. The following year year she set up a new home studio, and began recording songs that would end up being re-recorded and mixed for a future project called post . In September 2005 Mila opened up this myspace page as a way to reach out to a wider audience. It is here she met Sean . They discovered they had a mutual love and admiration for several electronica bands, a fascination for synth and machine-like sounds and decided to form their side project post . For their amazing and soothing music, they use the internet entirely as a medium to create, record and send mp3 files back and forth. This "underground" versatile singer is something special to watch and listen to. Mila is certainly no newcomer in the music business, expect nothing but great things from this versatile singer/songwriter in the very near future!...
