Mila Shadel hails from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and hasn’t put her guitar down since she first picked it up at the age of 10. She attended Duquesne University where she received her degree in Jazz Guitar performance. While she was there, she started playing in the vibrant local Pittsburgh jazz scene, which allowed her to get experience on the bandstand and to learn about the rich music history that the scene has to offer. Since her college days, she has continued to work with some of the best jazz musicians in Pittsburgh and started to lead her own groups at different venues.
The music that she plays in her shows reflect the classic jazz guitar trio sound, often pulling from the discographies of George Benson, Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, and Emily Remler. Her own compositions are heavily influenced by the musicians in her life and reflect her deep love for the music.
