Mitaya

Mitaya makes the kind of record her tags end up on. She is an Atlanta singer and songwriter with a catalogue of her own — releases reaching back to 2015, albums, official videos, and an audience that follows the music and the tag work together — and producer tags grew out of that rather than alongside it. The voice on the drop is the voice on the songs.The background is audible in how she reads one. Her own music sits where melodic pop, plugg and R&B meet, a place where the vocal is part of the arrangement rather than an announcement over the top of it, and she treats a tag the same way: pitched and placed, with a sung read available whenever a beat would rather have one than a flat spoken label. For producers working in plugg, PluggnB or melodic trap, that is a sound she already lives inside.She records in English with an American accent, explicit or clean. What comes back is a tag from someone who has spent years learning what a voice has to do to survive a finished record — because hers have had to.
