It started as a very low-key solo performance, but it didn’t take long before a substantial crowd started to show up around her. ‘You Are The Reason’ isn’t exactly a well-known song and won’t be found in many hit playlists, but it’s a beautiful song nonetheless that fits perfectly with Mia’s crisp, clear and soft yet powerful voice.

“I’d climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I’ve broken
Oh, ’cause I need you to see
That you are the reason,” the chorus of the song goes.

Mia’s dad filmed her performance and decided to share it with the Dublin City Today YouTube-channel, but he certainly didn’t expect the footage to go viral.

As the name suggests, you’ll only find videos that are taken in or about Dublin in here, more specifically about Dublin’s buskers. If you’ve never heard about that word before – don’t worry – but it’s quite a popular term over there. A busker is basically a talented street artist with a ton of personality. The people behind this YouTube channel gather or film footage of the busker performances to post and share it with their community.

Many street artists have seen a surge in their popularity since they were featured on the channel, something that definitely counts for Mia Black as well.
