The Midwest music scene has thrived for decades with R&B, rock, soul, pop and Hip Hop music, however it can be a challenge to try and define the scene as a whole. Fortunately for young songwriter/performer Miz, the incredible influences from his region have given him inspiration beyond measure.
As the video for his independently released single “I Can Do You Better” featuring Chris Rich has garnered impressive attention from fans, Miz is readying the DJ Scream-hosted mixtape 100% Certified. He also just premiered his next single “Feeling Myself” featuring Ca$h, and is preparing his debut album Young & Famous with Solidified Entertainment. Check out his video below.
Louisville, Kentucky native Miz has been writing songs since he was just 10-years-old, and by the time he was 12, Miz was performing with his group Young Rydaz throughout the Southeast and Midwest. The trio opened for major artists like Lil Wayne, Big Tymers, Juvenile and Lil Jon, and Miz gained enormous experience in his pre-teen travels, sparking his desire to write hit songs.
“My music comes from the heart, and I enjoy writing about what happens on a daily basis,” Miz explains. “I have the swag that Hip Hop fans want from a rapper, but I bring them real music. I write R&B, rock, anything you can name, I do it. The same thing Drake is doing… I’ve been doing it. He was able to show the world that he can do R&B and Hip Hop together, but I can write rock, country music, whatever. My music is universal, with more of a Midwest flavor. I don’t think people fully grasp the Midwest side of the music – it’s some out-of-the-box type of stuff.”
