Mia Morris / “Ireland, Scotland England & Wales” / music & music business vlog #49

- This vlog covers a short tour back in the UK and Ireland. I got to play both as an artist and as a side musician for Beth Nielsen Chapman. It turns out the most challenging aspects of this particular adventure all had to do with traveling. I was on planes, trains, ferries, cars, and sometimes all of them in 24 hours.
This entire trip was such a blast that I can’t pick a favorite show; but I can say getting myself and my gear from Scotland to London to play a sold-out show in Camden did feel like an accomplishment, especially after arriving back in Wales in time for the performance the next day. Per usual, I met a bunch great people and talented musicians along the way, and I never take for granted how lucky I am to have music be both my job and my passion.
I’m 18 years old and I’m a professional musician, songwriter & artist based out of Nashville. I play lots of instruments but the ones that I’m hired to play most often are drums, cajon and bass. I’ve been posting music related videos on UA-cam since I was 9 years old and began playing professionally at 14. I’ve always loved music and I’m grateful that it’s also become how I now make a living. This channel started as a combination of my fascination with drums and UA-camrs and it’s now turned into a much larger music and music business diary. My goals haven’t changed all that much over the years and stay pretty simple. I’d love to keep making music and hope to keep getting better at it.

Mia, you are the best music to come out since the 80s or before. You and your music is pure genius. I hope someday you tour the USA and play Ct.
I found it. In the Guardian newspaper. Aged men who listen to quiet, soothing music like Mia makes seem to provide relief from their form of dementia symptoms. Quiet and soothing! Who cares! They work for me. (I travelled all over Scotland. Music traditions in the Outer Hebrides are very enjoyable.) Everyone is invited to participate. Enjoy your tour.
- I don't have to set it up or break it down - For those new to this ride, yada yada, you'll always be a drummer first! 🥁🤘
you'll get no argument from me on that :D
Mia Glad you had a smooth enjoyable trip and as always appreciate you letting us follow along.
This song is really great.great voice and band !! me encanta.✨👆🏻🤘🏼👍💥💖⚡🌟
Can’t wait! 🥳 🎸
Mia is going places. The world is yours, so go and take it, young lady.
Electrifying 😼✌️🖤 OG
Hey Mia, congratulations on moving up on your career. Glad your trip had no hiccups and went smoothly for you. Love you, your channel and videos. Best of luck to you. Take care and be safe.
What a blast! And yeah, it's such a bummer when you go somewhere and the hotel room is all palatial and you're just like "no, I don't want to sleep, I want to raid the minibar, lay on the sofa and watch a movie on the big screen". Don't give in to the temptation, it doesn't pay the dividends that sleep does.😊
Hey Mia - I think you are right in a comment below about being kind, talented, humble and grateful ... and you are most definitely all of those. There are a handful of others out here who have the same life view and I love supporting all of them. I've no time for the 'established divas' of this world who are 'too important' and I could name a few of those. You're amazing and a pleasure to follow ... I get that feeling about you that when you reach that million followers you'll still be true to yourself, your dreams and those who care about you. You're on a track to the stars Mia and every success will be so very, very well deserved. Awesome young lady! 🥰
Just want to thank you for the years of music and watching your talents grow.
Been great following you on YT… your shorts are informative about the music industry…
And you’ve stayed being Mia! Cheers ✌🏼🐸
I really appreciate this comment and the OG's that have put up with me learning along the way. I hope I create some things you love and I'm certainly not planning on stopping - thank you for your support :)
Wow, I'm so glad your getting to share your amazing music with the world. Your the best Mia. Be safe! Love ya! 🤗
It is so great to get to see these adventures is music you go on. Thank you!
Thank you thank you very much
Excellent vlog. Seeing you in a natural state just being Mia is really cool to those of us (especially the o.g.'s) who have yet to partake in the joy of your company. ❤❤❤
Glad you think so - thanks John. I've had a lot going on but have kept up on the filming... the editing is another story :/
@@miamorrismusic maybe u can hire freelancers from Upwork to help with editing? Theres out of country editors that can edit for cheap
A great thing is, you get to experience different cultures, along with meeting and making new friends! A lot of exposure with your talent in music! Have a great Spring! Say hi to the folks! Text you on your next vlog. Stay safe!
I've met so many kind people just in the last few months travel alone, totally agree - thanks!
Nice little nod to Spinal Tap...MIA RAWKS! #cajonfashion

Good luck Mia. You will win their hearts like you did America's.
:)
Well I was there for the Live and made many witty comments on the chat, but my original comment on here is missing. Not the first time for that though.
Anyway this is another killer Vlog Neighbor! I love it! Will watch many more times .. just like all your other UA-cam offerings. Have a wonderful week and weekend! Cya Monday night. 😁❤️😎
It was great to be able to see you perform at the Camden Club as part of the Song Suffragettes show and to chat with you afterwards.
As I said to you then I admire your stamina and even more so now I've seen what your travels between Scotland, England and Wales entailed.
I'm sure I speak for many others when I say please don't be a stranger for too long and come back as soon as possible!
Hey Chris :) that show in Camden was pretty special to me for a lot of reasons and I'm so glad you got to see it. Looks like I'll be back in the UK in August at least!
I think uou are Badass kid! Keep ROCK ALIVE. ❤❤❤❤❤
You're here :) hello Jessica, thank you!
You're the coolest Mia.. blessings to you and your family
Whoop whoop! Loved it.
Yeah, I clicked the Notification button, but I'll be asleep.
It will be live on Thursday at 2 am, if I believe my computer's clock, or 3 am according to UA-cam.
Been waiting for this vlog. I'll catch the rerun.
Your comments about traveling itself being an accomplishment are spot on.
I believe that someday you'll have roadies hauling your gear, and fly business class.
That's when you'll know you made it.
heheh - I hope you slept soundly. Good morning on the other side of the planet.
@@miamorrismusic Ask any 74 years old man if they sleep soundly. Let me know if you get a yes. Gonna watch now.
@@gerrywaneck377 Or even ask a seventy three the same question....
@@jrizzuti Yep. Stay well, my friend.
That's so cool to experience those adventures at your age!!! Hope your not doing it alone!!! Be safe and enjoy 🤗👋👍😎🥰
:) it's a little of both. I've mostly got people looking for me wherever I'm heading regardless. Thanks James :)
Wow!!! Congrats on the overseas success. Thanks for the behind of the scenes tour of all the great memories you got to experience. You go girl
What a fun journey with you! Keep on keeping on.
awesome, I like the Spinal Tap voice over. to the stage. Your so funny
every time ur in a plane please sing "i'm on'uh plane..." and then change the lyrics to fit the situation: boat, car, train, etc. hahaha. thanks for the update. so good to see u out there living that life !!! keep crushing it !
Thanks Mia, it's so good to hear you enjoying your travels as you take on more challenges, while working for a living. So pleased you are doing the do, even if airport secruity is yet to learn parts of a drummers kit. Maybe you need a small video clip on your phone to demonstrtaite.
Anyway thanks so much for talking as along on parts of your journey with this v-log.
Good on you Mia. I'm looking forward to what ever you choose to sharew with the world next.
Loads more adventures ahead for you for sure.
Thank you Mia.
Hello Mark. Working on getting back on IG !
Glad you enjoyed yourself you look tired though you did so much running around , hope you had a good sleep at the end
It is extremely entertaining watching you perform. I hope for your continued success in all that you do.
That's a kind comment - thank you for taking the time :)
Too cool!!
That was great Mia
thanks for watching Dave!
Another Amazing and Awesome vlog, Love your drumming, now it's time for Europe to be Miamized!!!🙌😍💖💞❤️🔥⚘️🎶🎤🎸🎹🥁🔊📢🌏🛳
Hi Mia! I hope you’re having a great March and a great spring season!
hey Zacky - thanks :)
As a Artists assistant, stage manager, audio and video engineer with 20+ years "on the road" experience I like to say: You are great !!! I love your work ethos and talent but most of all the fact that you are really enjoying it all and appreciate the things and situations around you instead of complaining about little things. Love to see more of you and you'll never know, maybe once we will bump into each others path somewhere and I'll say a quick "hi" :) Greetz from The Netherlands(Europe)
I really appreciate this comment and I'm with ya. I wear a lot of different hats because I'm often a side-man, sometimes the crew, sometimes the artist but regardless of the situation, (or the instrument) I get to tour with a lot of different people with very different music careers. This work isn't predictable or easy by any measure but the good parts can be magical and I've found that the people that last tend to be kind, talented, humble and grateful that this is how they get to spend their time. I hope to be in that category - Greetz!
@@miamorrismusic Exactly. The fact that you get this already at your age tells me that you are and probably forever will be in that category. And exactly like you said, in such a state surrounded by others in the same state magic does happen. You can't predict when or why but when it does it creates moments everyone present will keep with them forever. I wish you many of these magical moments :)
You Rock MIA 🔥🤘🤘‼️‼️
Thank you man!!
The more you travel, the easier it gets. You learn all the tricks and shortcuts, especially when crossing borders. There is a big boat that takes road warriors to and from mainland Australia and Tasmania, overnight. It's called the Spirit of Tasmania. I hope someday you'll be on it. Or even better, fly into Hobart airport. You won't get lost in that terminal. I really enjoyed this video. Probably not as much as you enjoyed your trip. All the best.
Sounds awesome, I fly to Chicago today for 3 shows up in that area. Lately, I'm mostly tinkering with the gear to make small improvements toward reliability, redundancy, compatibility, speed of set-up/strike... all while trying to get it to travel safely and still move it myself through airports. It's/I'm a work in progress :)
@@miamorrismusic I was 38 yo before I took my first commercial jet flight, and it was to Europe. You should be a pro before you turn 20.
I went through a "gear-tinkering" stage in the 1990s. In this case, it was a 17" laptop, extra batteries, portable 3.5" hard drive, portable scanner, portable printer, camera and tripod, lots of printed material, office supplies, and poster-board panels - in addition to the regular stuff. I had similar problems getting through security, especially after 9/11. I'm still a work in progress, for different reasons now. Hell, I've always been a work in progress... Stay safe.
finally.. :D
:)
a few thoughts..(a) could one stay in vip lounges in airports?! (b) kazoo solo a must! (c) always take the little jog (d) you are authorized (e) 3:39 - 3:47 reminds me of start to "enough" by Disturbed (f) i too like a fancy hotel (g) just a typical commuter lol (h) 5:43 you look good with or without makeup (i) 6:16 i like how your voice goes to low alto (j) alternate narration music for this vlog: "mission impossible theme" by Wales Philharmonic orchestra (k) i loved seeing you play the organ (l) 7:38 so many candles (m) 8:50 compare look in MisterMister "Kyrie" vid (3:38) (n) riff on "ah! Leah!" by Donnie Iris, ah! Mia! (o) o wow i just realized that in your vlog #1 when you were 14 y/o, at (1:29) you talk about..kick pedals!
Soak it all in !!
this is the time of your life !!
You are a professional touring musician !!!
Any plans to play somewhere in Germany ?!
:D nothing booked as of yet but I absolutely want to see/play in Germany so I'm fairly certain some chance will come around.
ミア あなたは素敵です！！
あなたの音楽も素敵です！！
Hey Mia hope you had a blast, it looks like it, but how did your body do with the time difference ?
Are Mia & her Band back in the UK and NIR, or is this a delayed post from their first World Tour that went so well...I dropped my computer yesterday as part of the process of filing my income tax. It does not work well today. I could drive to Nashville but I do not have a valid passport. I would like to see this singing, dancing, drumming ingenue but I fear it will never come to pass. As for No One Cares--- like many others I had a strange feeling that I was listening to more genres of music all at the same time than I can name. After 20+ listens it does all come together as one song.
Thank you for digging into my music Donald, I sincerely appreciate it. This was a short return trip to other parts of the UK & Ireland that were not part of the first 6-week run. I believe we got back again in August as well :)
Did you know that non alcoholic beer has alcohol in it. Despite its name, non-alcoholic beer is legally allowed to contain up to 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). A trace amount is permitted because the common methods for brewing non-alcoholic beer make reaching absolute zero rather difficult.
Globe-trotting Mia. Ireland, Scotland, England & Wales is a great band name. Did you get to explore any of these countries? It looked like a quick tour in and out. If I didn't know you were musicians, I'd think you were a team of assassins. Slipping into the country, eliminating your target and slipping out again. "For the last time, it's a kick pedal. I mean, technically you could kill someone with it, but the same could be said about a pencil. Ever see John Wick?" Too bad you missed a bunch of school again. At this rate, you'll never graduate (Just Kidding). I'm sure Frisco is glad you're home again. And maybe your parents are too. 😜
haha :D assassins... The last time I was in the UK, it was for almost 6 weeks and I got a bunch of opportunities to explore. You are correct, this time was swallowed up with travel. The one period where i would have had some time off, I had scheduled an artist show of my own hundreds of miles away. I'm already scheduled to go back this summer so more chances to explore ahead!
@@miamorrismusic Nice. Well enjoy your travels.
Hopefully you gave those agents a UA-cam link showing you using a kick pedal. They would become fans! 😄 It's too bad you didn't have the time to take advantage of each of the destinations. To let it all soak in. Oh well, life of a touring musician I guess. I've heard that from other musicians who have traveled the world yet claim not to have seen any of it. 😐 Take care 🙂
🥁💯✨🤘🏻
wooo!
Hey Mia 💖
Hey Orlando :)
@@miamorrismusic aw, love you and your music
^+^ Warm hugs from Japan Morris family. We have family in Dublin & England. Come visit Japan Morris fam.You have a family here. ^+^
^+^ Btw My spouse, Hideki Taniuchi ( a composer) is fascinated and is interested in making music with you. You’re a Morris and we are all beautifully talented ^+^
5:51 ... you're adorable, baby!
Wow no comment on my negative comment. In fact you just took off 😅
It looks like you're having an adventure. I lived in Wales for three years and loved it.
Well, my friend, in an effort to keep you entertained, I have began to write you bad poetry, and will continue to do so until you turn one of these into a song. This first one is called... I can't think of a name for it. But you're from Tennessee and I thought I would be entertaining to write something that is a form of Tennessee word salad. Okay, that's the name: Tennessee Word Salad. Enjoy!
Are you ready for this Nashville?
‘Cause this song slaps like Will Smith
Hit it!
We walked the line in Memphis
Searched high and low for Elvis
I ain’t nothing but a hound dog
I’m Chris Rocking all the time
I tried to be a country singer
Like Taylor Swift but only bigger
Singing at the Grand Ol’ Oprey
Everybody would adore me.
You were acting like a Grizzly
Not even Titans could have saved me
Now you’re just a Predator
And I’m a Buccaneer
We know I’m hardly innocent
I took you to a honky tonk
My karaoke game is Hall of Fame
At 6:00 am we did the Walk of Shame
You gave me a Jack and Coke
And started laughing at your joke
If you knew someone would card me
At least give me Bicardi
We got thrown out on Broadway
And started walking home the wrong way
Until we finally got to splitsville
We argued all the way to Knoxville
Do not return to Tennessee
I would not give you a kidney
Even if someone would pay me
I’m eating all your sushi
:D btw - karaoke around Nashville tends to be hero or zero - and stay away from my sushi!
@@miamorrismusic I could absolutely see karaoke there being feast or famine. It depends on how much Hank Williams gets brought into a song. Oh and in the lyrics I wrote, you’re telling the guy not to eat your sushi or return to Tennessee. I’d never steal your sushi. We’re bros.
Dear MIA , my beautiful magical Angel 👼friend you look absolutely beautiful in all your videos I am glad you are having a really great 👍👍👍👍👍time meeting all the different bands I am so very very very proud of you I have all ways been very very very proud of ever since I first meat you your a beautiful star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 your a really great 👍👍👍👍👍musician your an out standing drum player your brilliant please stay safe and well ,from David ps your really great 👍👍👍👍👍your brilliant
