about mia

Mia Carruthers (born March 30, 1991) is a one of the main cast members of MTV's Taking the Stage. She is a singer/songwriter.

Mia and her family moved from West Chester Township to Cincinnati so that Mia can enroll at the S.C.P.A. as a freshman, majoring in music. Since then she has performed at coffeehouses in the local area. She plays several instruments: the guitar, alto saxophone and the piano. Mia comes from a musical family. Her brother Alex plays guitar in her band, "Mia Carruthers and the Retros". Her singer-songwriter father recorded three albums with Jackbone, a Zanesville rock band. [1][2]

The reality series Taking the Stage has Mia as one of the main cast members. Despite having an affable disposition, Mia is shown having issues with many of her classmates. Her Calvinist approach towards life, her spurning Aaron Breadon's advances (as she only wants their relationship to be platonic), and, perhaps most importantly, her relentless romantic overtures towards Tyler Nelson (who was in a relationship with Jasmine during most of the show's duration), resulted in an elongated feud with Jasmine and some of her friends, which served as one of the show's major ongoing plot lines. According to Mia's Facebook, MySpace and Twitter she is back together with Brian Sell. Sell was seen on Taking the Stage's first episode, but was not seen again due to him breaking up with Mia.

Mia just released an EP album titled "We Will Grow" available on iTunes.
