Louder Than The Music

Renowned songwriter and worship leader Mia Fieldes has released her Ashes EP with Essential Worship/Provident Label Group.

“For me it's always about serving others, bringing the right song for others to carry,” Fieldes shares. “I just want to be no. 1 at being no. 2, so it's definitely a step of faith doing a project like this. Having said that, it's not really a transition from 'writer' to 'artist' - but more 'writer' who, for this season, is saying ‘yes’ to carrying a few songs."

Beginning her writing career when she was just 13 years old, “I prayed with a pen so many nights. Over and over again I would write ‘God, one day I want to write songs about You that go all over the world.’" Answering those prayers in more ways than she imagined, at 17 Fieldes moved to Sydney and became part of Hillsong Church’s worship team. Her songwriting career thrived as well, writing songs that would go on to be recorded by Hillsong Worship and UNITED, along with award-winning hits recorded by For King & Country (“Proof Of Your Love”) and Francesca Battistelli (“He Knows My Name”). Fieldes has also collaborated with such artists as Michael W. Smith, Meredith Andrews, Matt Maher and Kari Jobe, among others.

Along with her songwriting, Fieldes currently leads worship at The Belonging Co. in Nashville, where she now resides. Whether she’s before an audience or behind the scenes, it's all about worship for her. “Worship is a response. I don’t want to complicate it. One of my biggest joys is giving people songs they can respond with in their own way. When I can give people some sort of framework for their own unspoken prayers, or faith for the season they are walking through, there’s nothing better than that.”
