MYKA

There is an unmistakable feeling of vulnerability when hearing MYKA’s warm tone and self-reflective lyrics. Defined by his experiences in his late teens and early twenties, his tender demeanor is colored through his obvious soul searching, both musically and personally. MYKA’s use of innovative angles and unpredictable direction prove that there is no single genre that can define him. Captivating his audience with his affinity for irresistible melodies and cinematic choruses, the multi-talented artist exudes an energy at live performances that you would have to see to believe.

The Greensboro, NC native, MYKA started recording music at the early age of thirteen via a makeshift studio at his cousin’s house. By the time he was legal, he had already released three mixtapes and various singles. His late teen years weren't very stable as his family was constantly moving state-to-state. Music was the only sure thing he had at those times. This allowed MYKA to steep himself into multiple cultures and music scenes, eventually leading to a sharp focus on exactly who and what he wanted to become.

Now based in Los Angeles, MYKA creates music that defies all genres and labels, touching his listeners’ core with honest, stripped down confessionals and messages that stir up a sense of hope and belonging. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Kid Cudi, Frank Ocean, and MGMT—MYKA’s musical aesthetic produces a delightful surprise with every song.
