About Mia Asano

Mia Asano is an LA based electric violinist who combines her classical training with her passion for alternative music. With over 5 million followers across social media platforms, Mia gained global success as a viral social media musician during her time at the Berklee College of Music where she double majored in Violin Performance and Professional Music. She used this momentum to begin releasing her own original music and covers, building up to playing 5 tours in one year, the first of which sold out immediately.

Her viral videos, the largest achieving over 40 million views, catapulted her into the online spotlight, leading to real life collaborations with renowned artists like Ministry, Dragonforce, and Lindsey Stirling, and culminated in a European Arena tour with 2 Steps From Hell which began at the prestigious Wacken festival in Germany performing for 65,000 people.

My Viper changed my life in so many ways. My musical world has opened up in ways I never expected now that I have the extended range, and I have so much musical and creative freedom on the instrument. I’ve wanted a Viper for so long, and I’m so grateful I get to play such a beautiful piece of art every day! I’ve always felt so welcomed and supported by the Wood Violins community and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for.”

Recipient of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's best Violin performance award in 2020, Mia's passion for music shows through in the diverse genres she plays, from rock and metal to electronic and Celtic music she believes wholeheartedly in breaking the traditional boundaries often put on the violin.

Mia understands the power of collaboration which fulfills her not only musically, but personally as well. She has released music with many of her friends including Tina Guo, Grace Kelly, Kiki Wong, Taylor Davis, Cullen Vance, Vinny Marchi MALINDA and more. She has also been a featured violinist on albums for Dragonforce lead singer Marc Hudson, and former Two Steps From Hell composer Nick Phoenix.

As a featured violinist on the Two Steps From Hell 2023 European Arena Tour, Mia Asano continues to captivate audiences with her dynamic performances. Thomas Bergersen, acclaimed composer and former member of Two Steps From Hell, expressed admiration for Mia on his Instagram: "[Mia] has achieved so much in her life at such a young age. She was born for the stage and showers everyone with beautiful violin playing and her contagious smile. She brings out something special in all of us."
