SINGER-SONGWRITER MIELLA SARTORI IS A GIRL WITH THE WORLD AT HER FEET.
The 22-year-old vocalist has been turning heads since she first picked up a microphone at age 8.
Although having battled debilitating shyness along the way to becoming a singer, Miella has always been a performer, it’s in her blood. She first discovered the stage at age 3, through dance, following in her mother’s footsteps. Miella’s dance career took her through the Australian Ballet and Queensland Ballet Programs, and her success as a dancer eventually landed her at a crossroads. One year after relocating to Southern Queensland to commit to a full-time dance career, Miella decided she couldn’t give up school and singing for a life absorbed by dance.
“With singing you can really move an audience and connect with them using the lyrics and melody to build emotion... I love that.”
Since discovering her voice at age 8, Miella’s journey as a singer has progressed quickly. Within one year of singing, Miella was selected to visit the USA as part of the GLEEClub Australia Junior Talent Development Project as a singer/dancer/actress in 2012; and was again selected in 2013 aged 10. Miella then tried her hand at penning lyrics at age 12, and is currently working on new material.
Despite being just 22 years old, Miella’s career has already begun. She has been tutored by highly respected singing teacher Tracey Osmond, owner of The Voice Singing School, mentored by Adriana McPhee who is known as the vocal coach for American Idol, and King Social drummer Constantine Hagiaglou, among others. Miella also has a passion for the production side of song-writing, going behind the scenes and recording two songs with Paramount Studios’ Stevie Bensusen from the USA and recently recording her first début single ‘Real Love’ with Townsville-based producer Sam Wright from The Rec Room. Hungry for more exposure in the studio, Miella completed a Certificate lll in Music Industry, taught by Bjarne Ohlin from the successful band The Divynls.
Being a triple threat, Miella has also performed as part of Brisbane theatre company, Harvest Rain, in productions of Hairspray, Grease and Wizard of Oz in Sydney and Brisbane. She is a regular on the live music circuit, performing at many of North Queensland’s premier venues and has also performed at various sporting, charity, corporate, private and public events throughout Queensland.
In recent years, Miella has earned her place on the big stage performing to tens of thousands of people in ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunities. In 2019, Miella had the privilege of sharing the stage with Rob Thomas (from Matchbox Twenty) at a charity concert in Townsville, Nth Queensland. Very recently, Miella was selected to perform the Australian National Anthem to a national audience of 2.7 million at the NRL State Of Origin Game 1 at the Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville, Nth Queensland.
Early in 2022, Miella enlisted with the Australian Defence Force as a full-time Musician and enjoys performing diverse genres of music with the backing of a highly qualified band of musicians. Miella continues to build on her skillset, improving on her musicianship, playing guitar, piano and drums whilst writing original material. Miella returned from a successful trip to Brisbane in 2019 where she recorded her newest single ‘To Whom It May Concern’ with producer Steve Kempnich from the renowned Airlock Studios. ‘To Whom It May Concern’ was shortlisted and awarded Highly Commended at the 2020 Queensland Music Awards.
Her sound belies her appearance, and Miella finds joy in surprising her audience with her voice’s unexpected maturity, lounge-vibe and depth of emotion. It’s easy to hear Miella’s inspirations of Amy Winehouse, Tori Kelly and Adele.
Soulful and sophisticated, Miella’s sound will only become more complex and emotion-provoking as she lives life’s inevitable joys, tragedies and broken hearts.

I have known Miella since early childhood and have witnessed her develop into the young artist she is today. Any task she has undertaken has been done with zeal and distinction. Don’t let her young age fool you – you will be pleasantly surprised with the maturity and sophistication of her performance. Miella has been tutored by the best and this shines in her performance. Her passion for songwriting saw the production of her first debut single “Real Love” and I am looking forward to following this young performer’s career and listening to her future releases.

Miella Sartori from age 9 has shown work ethic, integrity and a uniqueness that will captivate your attention. Qualities that truly reflect her education, performances and work.
As Miella’s dance teacher, I watched her confidence mature with every performance. She was the perfect muse for me to push my choreographic boundaries. Her drive for perfection complimented my need for perfection and vice versa.
Miella is a sponge, absorbing every piece of information and retaining the knowledge to propel her forward. I am constantly in awe of her.
A talent that will captivate you, hold your attention and leave you wanting more.
What is next for Miella? She is the future. Don’t miss out.
