"I've been singing since I was three, but I've loved music since before I can even remember." -Mia Zuniga...At three years old, acoustic-soul songstress Mia Zuniga had already been singing along to tunes on the radio while sitting in the back of her mother's car. By the time she reached the age of nine, she had already begun writing her own songs. A classically trained vocalist, a then seventeen year old Zuniga began training with highly touted voice instructors Silvester Henderson (UC Berkeley) and Pamela Brooks. Despite such an early musical background, it was not until 2002 that the East Bay Area native picked up a guitar, a gift from her uncle, and within three weeks, she became the rhythm guitarist for her christian college group. In 2004 while attending Los Medanos College, she met and began working closely with local songwriter/producers David Tam and Adam Frakes. "We were working on various other projects and asked Mia to come in and help us with backing vocals on a track. Moments into the session, we discovered that Mia was much more than just a session vocalist," says Tam. The chemistry they shared sparked the motivation to begin recording Zuniga's forthcoming solo album debut, STORIES SUCH AS THESE. It is an honest self portrait that reflects Mia Zuniga's thoughts on family, her experiences with love, and her faith in God by blending various musical styles that include Soul, R&B and a touch of Jazz, giving the collection of songs a sound of its own. STORIES SUCH AS THESE is in stores now."Slick, but above all, soulful R&B. Stories Such As These is a total pleasure." - East Bay Express....."Well written songs full of musical and intrumental genius, Mia Zuniga takes us on a journey with Stories Such As These." - Ru1 SoulTunes....."Consistently strong, not a bad track and an album that you can simply run from front to back and relax in the journey it takes you on." - Life And Soul Reviews
