Chicago’s historic music scene has an exciting voice emerging from an unlikely name. Mia Moore, better known as MVTE (pronounced mute) with a style as distinct as her voice. Following the city’s rich lineage of important and unique voices, her music is refreshing yet familiar. 
 It may be surprising that a quiet, shy kid, that her family called Mute, would find her calling as an artist in the biggest musical force in the world, hip hop. Or perhaps, it was written. Her love for music started in the church choir, often singing lead vocals and even writing her own songs as early as six years old. Her skills really started to develop as a young adult focusing on the craft of songwriting and emceeing where she developed a one-of-a-kind voice, poignant lyrics, and an effortless flow. 
 She began releasing her own music in 2017 and performing shows in 2018 and has continued to hone her craft through a steady stream of releases since 2019. Through the countless hours of writing and recording, MVTE has created a musical world that knows no boundaries. From jazz influenced slow burners to hard hitting gritty boom bap to Chicago flavored anthems, her music is a rich, diverse mosaic allowing her space to explore. Her music is unique, fun and filled with feeling, transporting the listener into her world. And in her world, contrary to her stage name, MVTE has a lot to say.
