Mia Wallace is the Chicago-based creation of David Castellani and Michael Azrikan.

Italian-born, Castellani spent the early parts of his career immersed in musical theory, audio production and percussion performance, traveling down the funk, jazz and underground hip-hop genres.

Azrikan— who moved from the U.S.S.R.when he was 10 year old — set down a techno tail spinning vinyl and DJing raves in the late-90’s.
