Even though she has just started, Mia Xitlali has shown that she’s an impressive talent in the industry. She was born on July 29, 1999, in Los Angeles, California. Even though she’s an L.A. native, her father came from El Paso, Texas, and her mother, from Guadalajara, Mexico. She’s of Mexican descent and she inherited her parents’ love for music at a very young age. She studied classical piano and made several musical appearances on stage, including at the John Anson Ford Theater and the Levitt Pavilion. She also performed at music festivals that were held around the Los Angeles area such as Earth Day and Dia de Los Muertos. Eventually, she fell in love with theater.

Xitlali acted on stage after she got the role in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s play “South Pacific” (2007), a reboot of the 1949 one. The play was held in the famous Hollywood Bowl and all the tickets sold out. She acted for four consecutive nights, marking her successful debut on stage. In 2014, she debuted onscreen by starring as Rosario in an independent short film, “Selling Rosario.” It became an official selection for the Napa Valley Film Festival in the same year. This was immediately followed by her first feature film, “Max” (2015), as the side-character Carmen. The movie became a Box Office hit at a whopping $44 million and it marked her breakthrough. She was cast to act in several T.V. shows and short films afterward. One of them was a 2016 episode in the Disney Channel show “Girl Meets World,” where she played the character Carla. Xitlali also ventured into the horror and thriller genre by acting in the 2017 T.V. show, “La Quinceañera.” She played the starring role, Alejandra Santos, and the show aired for a year until 2018.
