Coachella Artist: Mika

Mika is a classically trained Opera singer born in lebanon and now using his Freddie Mercury like voice to create some really catchy pop rock songs. Mika’s family moved him from Lebanon when he waas 9 years old to escape the war torn country. In London, he atttended music school and was trained by a russian opera singer. He has performed as an opera singer at such places like the Royal Opera House.

Later on in his schooling, Mika dropped out to record his first album released this year Life in Cartoon Motion, an eccentric pop album rooted in 70’s disco and classic rock. Unabashedly commercial, Mika is not afraid of the cliche pop-hook and pulls it off with a unique swing.
