Mika

Singer/Songwriter Mika joins Gaby for a chat about all things joy. He tells the story of watching Wicked with the composer Stephen Schwartz and singing with Ariana Grande. After seven years, he's back with new music, and wants to spread joy through his live shows. They talk about Mika's childhood, and how his mother 'collected' people - bringing lots of amazing characters into their home to live - and how they actually inspired some of his songs on his first album. (if you look at the video for 'Grace Kelly' - you'll see them!) Mika listens to birdsong regularly - sometimes in the garden, but also to playlists of tropical creatures. Did you know birdsong is medicine for your brain? When you hear birdsong, it means there's no trouble around! (you learn something everyday don't you!) Mika is a real joy spreader and so full of life and energy! We hope you feel a little of that energy after listening to this episode...
