Pia Mia Perez[2] (born September 19, 1996) is an American singer, actress, and model. She began her career posting song covers on YouTube, after which she was discovered by Babyface in 2010. Three years later, she signed with Interscope Records and worked closely with record producer Nic Nac to release her debut extended play (EP), The Gift (2013), which gained popularity from and included her cover of Drake's 2013 single, "Hold On, We're Going Home".
Two years later, she released her 2015 single "Do It Again" (featuring Chris Brown and Tyga), for which she became best known. The song marked her only entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The following year, she guest appeared on will.i.am's single "Boys & Girls", which peaked within the top 40 of the UK singles chart.[3] She parted ways with the label in 2017, although she briefly signed a record deal with Republic Records and Louis Bell's Electric Feel Entertainment in 2020, before departing both the following year.[4]
Outside of music, Perez is also a novelist.[5]
