❝ MIA CARTER ❞ 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟯
MIA WOKE UP TO THE SOUND of her phone buzzing nonstop groggy and confused she reached over to her nightstand squinting at the notifications flooding her screen
texts from friends, missed calls, and a dozen media tags flashed in front of her
her best friend serena's name popped up on a call
"mia turn on the radio! now! they're playing it!" serena's voice was practically vibrating with excitement
mia scrambled to her stereo and flipped through the stations until she found it—her song, the one she and pharrell had spent weeks perfecting, was playing on 88.9, the underground station that always knew the pulse of the streets
her heart raced as the familiar beat kicked in the soft hi-hats and dreamy chords flowing seamlessly beneath her voice
hearing herself on the radio felt surreal like she was outside of her own body
"All these nights I'm dreamin', trying to find my way through shadows..."
mia's voice floated through the speakers, delicate but powerful
for a moment she just stood there frozen in place listening
It wasn't just a song anymore it was out there living in the world
by the time the track ended, the DJ's voice came in brimming with excitement
"that was Mia Carter with her debut single and I gotta say this one's a vibe produced by none other than pharrell williams, this track has that perfect blend of neo-soul and hip-hop y'all better keep an ear out for this one!"
mia stared at the stereo barely processing what she'd just heard
serena was still screaming through the phone
"mia do you hear that? you made it! this is just the beginning!" serena squealed
mia sat down on the edge of her bed overwhelmed by the moment
it wasn't just a dream anymore her voice was out there and people were hearing it
OVER THE NEXT few days things moved fast faster than mia had expected
her single gained traction on underground radio getting spins from local stations in New York, L.A. and Atlanta
pharrell's co-sign added fuel to the fire with DJs and tastemakers hyping her up as the next big thing
