In the past decade, Mila had been involved in the traditional Irish music scene in Brazil by co-founding the band Oran and the digital magazine O Pint Diário, also being a committee member of Comhaltas Brasil. Since living in Ireland, Mila has worked with artists such as Giovani Di Ganzá, Agustina Taborda, Carl Hession, Treo Ensemble, Galway Choro Ensemble and Sonanta Flamenco-Jazz, performing in venues and festivals such as Clifden Arts Festival, Galway International Arts Festival, Cuture Night Ireland, Festival Millo Verde (Galicia) and Festival Interceltique de Lorient (Brittany).
Mila's solo career features a range of releases, including "Across The Green Ocean," "Frevo de Três Folhas," and the EP "História do Tango," with her latest single being "Way To Fiastra."
