Mikhail Laxton is an Ottawa-based soul-roots singer-songwriter originally from Australia, crafting music that feels honest, warm, and deeply human. From the funky acoustic soul of his EP Real to the Americana-infused textures of his self-titled debut, Laxton has always followed his own creative compass.
His newest album, Present Nostalgia, is his most personal work yet—a reflection on love, loss, letting go, and the moments we know will stay with us forever. The record features the viral summer single “I Like The Way,” which took off on TikTok in New Zealand, alongside the hopeful “Something’s Gonna Give” and the sun-soaked double release “Again” and “Stay.” “Golden Sky” anchors the album with a message of resilience: even when everything falls apart, the sunrise still shows up.
On stage, Laxton brings Present Nostalgia to life with raw emotion and connection. His live shows transform into shared moments where fans become friends, singing, laughing, and feeling every note together. Laxton’s music is rooted in presence, heart, and honesty—and that energy continues to carry him forward as one of soul-roots music’s most compelling emerging voices.
