Meet Mia & Paul:

For over 7 years, Mia Gjakonovski and Paul Prassel have been a musical force to reckon with. As a newly formed duo, they fuse alternative pop and indie with contemporary jazz elements in a heartfelt and honest way. Rich, intimate melodies that reach into the depths of human emotion.

She cites influences from the likes of MARO, Jordan Rakei, Samora Pinderhughes and November Ultra. Mixing the acoustic depth of the guitar and warm voice with some electronic sounds, creating a musical world of floating waves, cozy warmth and the ease of simplicity. Drawing from Mia's introspective songwriting, their music is characterized by it's melancholic yet accessible tone.

Each original composition invites listeners to reflect on life's complexities, with lyrics that provoke thought and melodies that linger in the mind long after the music stops. The first Duo Single "be alright" was released early December. Now they are going on tour through Scandinavia, playing their newly developed program.
