Mija, born Amber Giles in Phoenix, Arizona, broke into the electronic music scene in the early 2010s with her eclectic, genre-defying mixes that transcend the boundaries of house, techno, drum ’n’ bass, and pop. Starting out as a promoter and DJ in her hometown’s vibrant nightlife, she gained national recognition after a chance sunrise set with Skrillex at Bonnaroo in 2014 went viral, marking her as one of the most exciting talents in the American dance scene. Known for her distinctive, pastel-haired style and fearless curation, Mija quickly became a fixture at major music festivals such as Coachella, EDC, and Ultra.

She is celebrated for her “fk a genre” ethos, seamlessly blending sounds and styles into sets and productions that resist easy categorization. Her debut EP, *How to Measure the Distance Between Lovers* (2018), showcased her skill both as a producer and vocalist, weaving elements of indie, electronica, and left-field pop. Mija has expanded her influence beyond the DJ booth, collaborating with artists like Alvin Risk, Vindata, and Tegan and Sara, and founding her own label, Never B Alone, as a platform for experimental electronic artists.

Her work is characterized by a DIY spirit, emotional honesty, and a commitment to pushing creative boundaries. As a leading voice in the next generation of electronic music, Mija continues to inspire with her bold vision and innovative sound.
