About Mia
Mia Nicolai Vocal Coach & Artist
With over five years of vocal teaching experience, I bring a well-rounded, artist-informed approach to vocal training that’s rooted in both classical discipline and contemporary performance.
My musical journey began at age 3, with over a decade of training in violin and piano (1999–2012). I later found my true voice in singing and began teaching vocals in 2019. Since then, I’ve helped students of all ages build confidence, technique, and authentic expression.
As a professional artist, I’ve been releasing music since 2020 and had the honor of representing the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. My experience on international stages informs my teaching style — blending technical skill with performance readiness, emotional connection, and artistic identity.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your craft, my goal is to help you unlock your unique sound and feel at home in your voice.
