Based in New York, Mila Tina is a Chilean-American experience designer, producer, performer, educator, and business owner.

Driven by a fusion of passions for martial arts,  technology, and storytelling, Mila crafted a unique multi-sensory art form. This propelled her into the spotlight as a highly sought-after touring drummer and producer/DJ, establishing herself as a solo performer with a headlining show at international festivals like Envision.

​

Symbiotrix

One of her acclaimed multidisciplinary performance, showcased at conferences including Miami's Art Basel, go beyond musical skills. Mila produced an immersive experience called "Symbiotrix", offering real-time visualizations of frequencies within a martial artist's brain—exploring the symbiotic language of Mila's improvisational sound and rhythm with the movements of the Martial Artist.

Deeply engaged in the traditions of Western African drumming under the lineage of Babatunde Olatunji and Bana Kuma, Mila fortified her musical foundation. Collaborations with Grammy Award Winner Chris Berry not only enriched her artistic repertoire but propelled her into new dimensions of musical expression. Noteworthy collaborations with members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Paul Simon's rhythm section serve as a testament to her prominence in the dynamic and diverse musical landscape.
