Mikey Jose

If someone could live in the soulful intersection of R&B, gospel and pop, that’s likely where Mikey Jose would make his home. In fact, it is the space between genres, fields, and environments where he has found comfort. His church-influenced, science-immersed, art-filled, culturally-overlapping background has provided him with a unique perspective on the world, informing his mantra: music is medicine.

Drawing influence from vocal heavy-hitters like Stevie Wonder, Allen Stone, Jazmine Sullivan and Lucky Daye, Mikey Jose has crafted his own sonic signature featuring intentional melodies and lyrics that reflect the unique complexities of existing in the 21st century. His pen has touched songs that have streamed 8 million+ times over his tenure releasing music.

Mikey Jose's live shows pack a punch of powerful vocals and high energy, most recently exhibited on his 2023 tour across Canada and Japan’s major hubs. He has opened for Lawrence, GoldFord, and The Main Squeeze, and has "brought the house down" at local and international music festivals, such as Rifflandia and NXNE (Virgin Radio Vancouver).

Mikey is also a PhD Candidate pursuing research in music neuroscience and teaches university-level psychology. If any of his students sees this, he wants them to stop messaging him on TikTok.
