Armed with guitars and synthesizers, the richness, exotic flavors, and sensual but sophisticated feel of Mia Calderón's songwriting encompass many influences. Nuances of Massive Attack, Bajafondo, Portishead, and Bebel Gilberto are weaved throughout Calderón’s music. Born and raised in San Francisco, then Miami; her musical mix captures the psyche as well as the imagination. Her family origins---part Guatemalan, part Spanish, part Mexican-American---contribute as much to her music as does her fascination with everything Brazilian.
