Las Vegas hip-hop artist and songwriter MIA Jai Rian has unleashed his raw and emotionally unfiltered new single, “Like Birds.” This track is a powerful anthem that masterfully fuses street wisdom with spiritual warfare, delivering a poignant message of resilience and self-reclamation.
“Like Birds” dives deep into themes of survival, betrayal, unwavering faith, and the journey of rising above adversity. With hard-hitting bars and vivid storytelling, the song blends compelling trap energy with profound lyrical depth. It’s more than just a track; it’s a battle cry for anyone who’s been counted out but refuses to fold. As MIA Jai Rian puts it, “If you’ve ever been pushed to the edge and chose to rise instead of drowning, this one’s for you. On God.”
Known also as Jai Rian, the artist brings a profound sense of realness to his music, crafting a unique sound born from personal heartache and authentic street life experiences, making his narratives deeply relatable to listeners.

Since dedicating his music to the Father, Jai Rian has found a renewed purpose. He shares, “I found purpose in my life through the talents and gifts God entrusted to me. I want to encourage and inspire others who are burdened and hurt by sharing testimonies and giving God glory, always pointing back to Jesus.” His mission is clear: to spread God’s love and the gospel through song and word, ministering to broken hearts, and offering encouragement.
Jai Rian is far from a newcomer to creating quality music and serving God. Saved and passionate about music since the tender age of eight, Jai has collaborated with a roster of highly credible professionals, including Producers (The Audibles, Pyro Da God aka WHO, Jesse Calentine, J.Flow.Your.Producer), Engineers (Dacota G. Fresilli, Luis Cancion, Colin Leonard from Singmastering), and Artists/Writers (V. Rose, Brett Raio, 1kPhew).
When asked about his distinctive artist name, Jai explains, “Jai Rian comes from my birth name Joshua Ryan. I changed the spelling to identify my commitment to serving God with my talents and gifts. Jai means ‘Victory to God’ or ‘Triumph,’ Rian means ‘King,’ and the MIA in the front is an acronym with a plural meaning for ‘Missing in Action’ from the world and ‘Musically Inclined Artist’ Ordained by God.”
