On December the 29th 2006, during her Christmas break from University, Mia decided to open up an account on the popular video sharing website YouTube under the name “miaarose”. On this channel Mia would post a video everyday singing cover songs of her favorite artists. Within 2 weeks Mia became a global sensation on the net, was chased by various major record labels around the world and gained online and press coverage from Sky News and Daily Telegraph through to Rolling Stone magazine.
Following this worldwide interest, Mia Rose had a short period under the management of Tommy Mottola (Mariah Carey) in New York, Mia Rose worked with producers and writers such as Ryan Leslie, Brent Pashke, Uness and Kara DioGuardi. However, as the music industry struggled to cope with the digital revolution, Mia Rose returned to Europe to focus on being a DIY artist and singer-songwriter and to grow her already significant online fan-base. She sensed that having control over her career was the right way to go in the 21st century.
And it proved to be the right move. Mia Rose is the most subscribed musician on YouTube in the UK of all time, and one of the all-time most subscribed musicians globally. When Mia Rose posts up a video, usually shot by herself, a million hits in a month is not unusual. Not bad for someone whose only marketing over the last three years has been her website and YouTube channel.
Her voice, her easy way in front of the camera and the warmth between Mia and her fans has helped not just gain staggeringly high online views and hits, but also a worldwide fan-base who are extremely loyal and supportive of her journey and her music.
Mia is true crossover artist with almost half of her fans being teenagers, but a further third are over the age of 25. And hers is a truly global fan-base. During a recent video chat with her fans, she received over 7,500 messages from 27 countries in 90 minutes, including the US, Canada, Peru, most of Europe, Qatar, Japan, India and Malaysia. While at an event last year, Mia met with Queen Rania of Jordan, who also confessed to being a personal fan of hers.
The DIY philosophy is inherent in everything Mia Rose does. Be it a competition to spend the day in London with her fans, or to choose one of the tracks for her double A-Side Christmas single, her fans are involved all the way. Which is why she is also invited to prestigious social media events – such as Google Zeitgeist and SIME in Sweden to talk about her success.
Earlier this year, Mia recorded and self-marketed her own song “Let Go”, selling it on iTunes in Portugal, where it became the best selling download, and got to number 2 in the Portuguese charts.
Mia recently made the move to London to live and work on new material, and is finishing up her Christmas single “What Would Christmas Be Like?” was released via her website www.miaroseworld.com worldwide in early December 2009.
With the continued growth of her fan-base and the increasing demands on her time, Mia Rose has teamed up with music agency citizensound to help support her creative development, ensure her fans are looked after, and manage her business interests.

We should never go there
Why you wanna go there
I guess I gotta go there
You′re hearing rumors about me
And you can't stomach the thought
Of someone touching my body
When you so close to my heart
I won't deny what they saying
Because most of it is true
But it was all before I fell for you
So please babe
So please don′t judge me
And I won′t judge you
'Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
Please don′t judge me
And I won't judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul, let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul, let it be beautiful
Everything I say right now
Is gonna be use in another fight
And I′ve been through this so many times
Can we change the subject
You gonna start asking me questions like:
"Was she attractive, was she an actress?"
Baby the fact is, you're hearing rumours about me
And saw some pictures online
Saying things, they got you so angry
Making you wish you were mine
Before we start talking crazy
Saying some things we′ll regret
Can we just slow it down and press reset
You're beautiful
So babe
So please don't judge me
And I won′t judge you
′Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
Please don't judge me
And I won′t judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful
Just let the past
Just be the past
And focus on things
That are gonna make us laugh
Take me as I am, not who I was
I'll promise I′ll be, the one that you can trust
So please
So please don't judge me
And I won′t judge you
'Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
So please don't judge me
And I won′t judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul, let it be
Let it be beautifu-u-ul, aye let it be beautiful, yeah yeah yeah
I don′t wanna go there baby
We should never go there
The song "Don't Judge Me" by Chris Brown talks about a relationship that is being jeopardized by rumors and trust issues. The singer doesn't deny the rumors that are spreading out about him because most of them are true, but he fell in love with this person beside him now, and he wants the other person to see that he is different from that time. The singer pleads for the other person not to judge him based on his past and for them to forget the rumors and issues surrounding their relationship.
The lyrics suggest that the other person harbors trust issues, and they are afraid to be hurt. They want to clarify whether or not there is any truth to the rumors they hear about the singer. The song tells a story about taking a moment to pause, assess the situation and react better. The chorus then reiterates the plea for each other, "Please don't judge me, and I won't judge you. And if you love me, then let it be beautiful."
Overall, "Don't Judge Me" is a song about trust, rumors, and taking a step back from a situation. It's about setting aside differences and judgments and focusing on the love between two people who genuinely care for each other.

I don't wanna go there
I don't want to revisit that past situation
We should never go there
We are better off avoiding that topic completely
Why you wanna go there
I don't understand why you keep bringing up that topic
I guess I gotta go there
I am willing to discuss it if it will help our relationship
You′re hearing rumors about me
You are listening to gossip about me
And you can't stomach the thought
You can't bear the idea of it being true
Of someone touching my body
Someone being physically intimate with me
When you so close to my heart
When you mean so much to me
I won't deny what they saying
I am not going to lie about what people are saying
Because most of it is true
Because a lot of what they are saying is accurate
But it was all before I fell for you
Those things happened before I developed feelings for you
So please babe
I am asking you with affection
So please don′t judge me
Please do not form a negative opinion of me based on rumors
And I won't judge you
I will not judge you based on your past
'Cause it could get ugly
Because it could lead to an argument
Before it gets beautiful
Before we can move on and enjoy our relationship
Everything I say right now
Anything I say could cause more problems
Is gonna be use in another fight
Could lead to another argument
And I′ve been through this so many times
I am tired of discussing this topic
Can we change the subject
Can we talk about something different
You gonna start asking me questions like
You will ask questions about the past
"Was she attractive, was she an actress?"
"Was the other person more physically attractive? Were they famous?"
Baby the fact is, you're hearing rumours about me
The truth is, you are listening to gossip
And saw some pictures online
You have seen pictures on the internet
Saying things, they got you so angry
They are saying things that make you upset
Making you wish you were mine
Making you wish we were in a relationship
Before we start talking crazy
Before we say irrational things
Saying some things we′ll regret
Saying something that we will later regret
Can we just slow it down and press reset
Can we take a step back and start fresh
You're beautiful
You are wonderful to me
Take me as I am, not who I was
Accept me for who I am now, not who I was in the past
I'll promise I′ll be, the one that you can trust
I will be reliable and trustworthy for you
Let it be beautifu-u-ul, let it be beautiful
Let our relationship be wonderful
Just let the past
Leave the past where it belongs
Just be the past
Let it be history
And focus on things
Concentrate on the present
That are gonna make us laugh
Things that make us happy
