Mia Asano

Mia Asano is an electric violinist from Denver, Colorado. Classically trained from the age of five, she developed a love for alternative styles of music early on and plays a variety of music styles including rock, pop, jazz, classical, bluegrass and celtic music. Gaining recognition in the Colorado fashion industry at the age of fifteen, Asano began performing and modeling at a variety of events around Denver including fashion shows with clients such as J CREW, Salwa Owens, and Denver Style Magazine. After graduating high school, she toured the West Coast with Viking Rock band Nordic Daughter before going on to attend the Berklee College of Music as a dual major in Performance and Professional Music, graduating in August of 2022. During her junior year, she began posting short videos on TikTok and Instagram to practice her recording/mixing and video editing skills. One of the early videos went viral, gaining over 10 million collective views in less than a week on multiple social media platforms. Since then, Asano has had success with other covers as well, including an arrangement of Nathan Evans’ Wellerman Sea Shanty which gained Global recognition on networks such as the BBC, NBC, Washington post, and Through the Fire and Flames which led to Asano sharing the stage with Dragonforce in Worcester MA. Asano has shared the stage with notable performers such as Dragonforce, MALINDA, Grace Kelly, Lindsey Stirling, and as a solo artist selling out her two debut Boston shows in August 2022. Though she has a love for classical music, Mia’s true joy comes from playing her electric violin. Her biggest inspirations over the years have been violinists in all genres of music and she believes wholeheartedly in breaking boundaries and sharing every aspect of what the violin is capable of, as well as helping people and spreading positivity through music.
