Milla is a San Francisco-based singer that possesses the unique ability to deliver shy and gutsy in the same breath, using her empathic abilities to affect her audience to its core.

In Prelude, Milla maximizes the talent of her recording band, led by pianist Adam Shulman. Dayna Stephens’ dreamy sax solos wail over the burnin’ rhythm section (John Wiitala on bass and Tim Bulkley on drums) revealing new ideas in an old setting. Guitarist Bob Brumbeloe joins the group for a couple tunes, upping the cool factor considerably with his groovy sound.

At the heart of it all is the voice of Milla. She delivers with sex appeal, sorrow, sass, and intensity. Her sound is educated and inspired.

Milla’s warm, sultry tone translates effortlessly between genres, also exemplified in Prelude. From smoky bossas to fearless blues, her style is distinct and her interpretations soulful. The CD features imaginative arrangements of well-represented classics, in addition to the lesser-known gems she digs up and just has to share.

Of her new CD Prelude, Milla comments, “If I had to picture someone listening to this CD, I would hope they’d be near a lover and a fireplace.”
