About

"Leave your troubles outside. Here, life is beautiful, everyone is beautiful, the girls are beautiful, the boys are beautiful," a line from 'Cabaret.' It is on such philosophy that MIKA has built an unshakable career and catalogue. 

Throughout his career, MIKA has crafted a world of gritty romance amidst the joy and playfulness of technicolored alternative pop. He's a renaissance artist of impeccable intention who's name has rightfully found its way alongside legendary acts such as Elton John, Freddie Mercury and Prince. 

MIKA opened his pop career in 2007 with the defining single Grace Kelly, which went on to sell over 3 million copies worldwide and was the second British single ever to top the chart on downloads alone. It was #1 in the UK for 5 weeks and topped the charts in 6 other countries also. His debut album, Life In Cartoon Motion, has over 2.8 billion streams to date, selling over 8.3 million albums and racking up 12.8 million digital track sales. The album went straight to #1 in the UK and 11 other countries.

His second album The Boy Who Knew Too Much released in 2009 continued the trend, making it into the top ten in over 10 countries worldwide and containing the hits We Are Golden, Blame It On The Girls and Rain. In 2011 MIKA released the French language single Elle Me Dit which topped the French charts for 8 weeks in 2011 clocking up over 300,000 sales and becoming the second best selling single of the year in the process. The video featured legendary French actress Fanny Ardant and has over 75.5 million plays.

His third album The Origin of Love, was released to international acclaim in 2012 and includes the huge single Celebrate, featuring Pharrell Williams, and US smash Popular Song, which was later reworked as a duet with pop superstar Ariana Grande. The Popular Song duet video currently has over 205 million views.

MIKA then conquered the hearts of TV audiences across Europe, appearing as a judge on the X Factor Italy, a coach on The Voice France, both of which he is still involved with, and topping the charts in France with the release of "Boum Boum Boum".  

2015 saw the release of Mika's 4th studio album, No Place In Heaven, to critical acclaim, created with long-time collaborator and Grammy nominated producer Gregg Wells and featured hit singles "Talk About You" , "Staring at the Sun" and the iconic video for "Last Party" shot by Peter Lindbergh.

His 2019 record, My Name Is Michael Holbrook, was a sort of turning point for MIKA, a healing process. "I had a sense of urgency to transform pain into something beautiful and more hopeful," says MIKA. After writing the album in home studios in Miami and Tuscany over the course of two years, MIKA went to Brussels to record with producers Marc Crew and Dan Priddy. Together they crafted soundscapes spanning different decades of pop tracking the entire album live using vintage synths and enlisting all star players from around the world.

In 2019 and 2020 he took to the road once more, bringing the magic across the UK, US, Europe and beyond. He was part-way through his eastern leg when the pandemic struck and the world changed. But he still managed to keep busy during lockdown. Heartbroken by the devastating explosion in Beirut, Lebanon in MIKA decided to honour his Lebanese heritage by organising an online charity concert in support of the people of Lebanon and the victims of the blast. But this was no ordinary online concert. 'I Love Beirut' featured guest performances from around the world including Kylie Minogue in London, Rufus Wainwright in LA, Mashrou Leila in NYC, Laura Pausini in Rome and Dana Paola in Mexico City, as well as sending a small crew to Beirut itself to meet people on the ground. The result was a truly breathtaking film with moments of joy and sadness, hope and resilience. Fans tuned in from a record-breaking 106 countries around the globe and the concert raised an impressive total of over €1m for Save The Children Lebanon and The Lebanese Red Cross.

After the strangest 18+ months in living memory, MIKA looks forward to being back on the stage in 2022. Through the attitude, energy and movement of MIKA's studied pop performance he provokes this sense of magic. "It's the sort of dangerous energy where anything is possible," he says. 

MIKA has also worked with world renowned composer and conductor Simon Leclerc to perform orchestral versions of his many hits, first with L'Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal in Quebec, followed by a special televised performance at the Teatro Sociale in Como, Italy and most recently with two sold out shows in October 2021 at the Philharmonie de Paris in France.

MIKA has been nominated for and won awards from the Brits, the Grammys, the Ivor Novellos, Capital Radio, Q magazine, The NRJs, The World Music Awards, BT and Vodaphone, Virgin Media and MTV's Europe, Asia, Australia and Japan, amongst others. He is also the recipient of the prestigious French award "Chevalier dans l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres". MIKA has now sold over 10 million albums globally and has Gold or Platinum awards in an impressive 32 countries worldwide.

"We don't need perfection. We need character, we need emotion. To feel free to express yourself," says MIKA. "Express yourself, you won't be judged here."

    Absolutely amazing performance. This was my fourth Mika concert and probably the best so far. The venue is so intimate and acoustically perfect.

    Mika was AMAZING

    by cheerytomato on 4/15/13Royale Boston - Boston

    Mika was so good live! He has an amazing voice and I loved that the show was nice and intimate. I had a fabulous time with my friend we were singing and dancing the whole time. There was a good mixture of old favorites from his older albums and songs from his new album. I think the songs were even better live. There was such amazing energy from Mika and his team and they were all so talented. I'm glad that he also took requests from the audience. It was just delightful and an unforgettable evening.

    An excellent show. Mika performed for just over two hours and played songs from all 3 of his albums. There was some banter and some interesting tidbits on the history of a few songs. Since the show was stripped down most songs had new (or new to me at least) arrangements, so even very familair songs had a new feel to them. All three performers really worked hard the full time. Mika seemed to be enjoying himself. The crowd sure was.

    Mika was fantastic! So glad we got tickets.

    by sidhebear on 4/12/13Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - Washington

    We flew from Tennessee for this concert, and it was worth every penny we spent on the trip, and even the horrible flight we had trying to get there. Mika is an amazing artist. He interacts so well with the audience that you feel like you are in a group of friends instead of being a spectator at an event. Mika puts his all into his performance. This is a must see show. What a great opportunity to see Mika in a small venue setting.

    The greatest concert of my life

    by Pheebs333 on 4/12/13Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - Washington

    The venue was a synagogue which made some seats difficult to see from, but he was so dynamic and amazing that seats didn't matter and we were all dancing and moving. What truly made it brilliant was that it was such a small and intimate setting that we could actually talk to him, he took song requests, responded to us, and then he did something that proved to me that MIKA is the greatest live performer of all time. He dropped the mic. Sounds silly but they turned off the speakers and one of his two accompanists played a light piano while he stood at the front of the stage, belting and singing so beautifully and powerfully that the entire synagogue was silent, spellbound.

    Mika killed it tonite

    by DCrockNpop on 4/12/13Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - Washington

    Loved how the crowd got up and hung on the synagogue's "stage" (pulpit?) for the last few songs... if Mika is gonna play in the states, then DC is the perfect city for him to play in :) i coulda done w/o the dj intro/opening set tho, was weird, everyone rushed in and then had to endure 30 minutes of--- weirdness, not knowing how long it would last. Just hire a ventriloquist or clowns maybe? that would be more MIKA :P I do think that he could make some beautiful noise using more of his regular register, instead of falsetto. It would also go well with his new stripped-down delivery team, and also also move away from SOUNDING like bubblegum pop, even if it isn't (or is it)? Still, great show.

    Well worth it!!!

    by smartpie10 on 4/12/13Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - Washington

    No doubt I would go see Mika again in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity. He's such a genuine artist who is extremely talented and sounds as good in real life, if not better than, his recorded songs. Go see him, you won't be disappointed.

    A Special Night

    by thecommissioner on 4/12/13Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - Washington

    This may have been the most special night of music I have ever heard. I saw Mika at the Webster Hall in NY in October and that was an amazing evening, with full band. But this was unreal. Advertised as an intimate evening with Mika, it was that and a lot more. The highlights were, without a doubt, "Lola" and "Stardust," both sung without a microphone. Simply spectacular.

    Absolutely unforgettable

    by Anonymous on 4/12/13Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - Washington

    It took forever for him to get onstage, but once he did it was magical. In a room full of people you felt like it was just him and you.
