Biography
Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr., known professionally as Mika, is a singer-songwriter born in Beirut, Lebanon, and raised in Paris and London. Mika rose to prominence after the release of his first extended play, Dodgy Holiday (2006), which contained his debut single "Relax, Take It Easy". The track was released in October 2006, and topped the charts throughout Europe. His first full-length studio album, Life in Cartoon Motion (2007), released on Island Records, was led by the single "Grace Kelly" which topped the UK Singles Chart for five weeks starting in January 2007. The album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, and sold more than 8 million copies worldwide. Life in Cartoon Motion helped Mika win a Brit Award in 2008 for Best British Breakthrough act, while its single "Love Today" was nominated for a Grammy Award.
Channel description
For nearly two decades, MIKA has stood apart as a singular force in modern pop music — a songwriter, vocalist, and performer whose work unites exuberant craftsmanship with disarming emotional depth. With Hyperlove, his first English-language album since 2019’s My Name Is Michael Holbrook, he enters a bold and richly personal new chapter. The record marks both a reinvention and a return: a joyous return to the piano as his creative compass, and a forward-looking exploration of how human emotion can coexist with the accelerating velocity of the digital world.
