Mia D. (artist name CALI or alter ego Mia Daze) is a bilingual singer-songwriter, rapper, and music producer born in 1999. With roots in Hispanic heritage, CALI creates a distinctive blend of cross-cultural sounds, fusing hip-hop, R&B, and Latin influences with raw, heartfelt storytelling. Having grown up immersed in the world of old-school hip-hop, CALI draws major inspiration from legendary icons like Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., and Eminem. Today, her music also channels the modern touch of artists like The Kid Laroi, Polo G, and Juice Wrld, weaving together old-school grit with contemporary vibes. The nickname CALI stems from her deep connection to California, embodying the state’s vibrant energy. However, her bolder, more outspoken side comes to life as Mia Daze—her audacious alter ego reminiscent of Eminem’s Slim Shady persona or Tupac's fearless voice. Mia Daze is the embodiment of boldness, unfiltered creativity, and an unapologetically wild edge that amplifies CALI's already powerful sound.
