Mickael Karkousse

Two years after releasing his debut EP Where Do We Begin, Mickael Karkousse is ready for the big leagues. Granted, that sounds peculiar for someone who has already made six records with one of the biggest Belgian bands of the 21st century – a foursome that bridged the gap between rock and electronica in highly incendiary ways. But it is no overstatement to say that it took some time for the GOOSE frontman to find his signature sound. Over the years Mickael also collaborated and composed with various artists including Vitalic, The Bloody Beetroots and Swedish producer Blende.
He’s also part of the Safari Studios collective, the recording studio and label created by the 4 GOOSE members.

About MK's upcoming album "HELLO": Often, the ‘70s and ‘80s come squeaking in, “and that will probably never change,” Mickael Karkousse admits. “There’s a certain warmth in the productions, song-writing and even voices from that period that feels like coming home to me. It’s hard to put into words, but let’s say that Patrick Swayze and Michael Jackson – to name but two – are part of my subconscious and they are never too far away.
Mickael and musician/producer Victor Le Masne (Kavinsky, Juliette Armanet and Justice's Gaspard Augé) joined forces again on "HELLO" and delivered 10 tracks creating a whole new dimension to the MK world. As Victor and Mickael say for laughs: "Mickael Karkousse, Le Musical"
