Mika

This dude is over the top. And it is delicious fun! "Grace Kelly" starts off the album with a rancous mix of Broadway antics and all the showmanship of Queen. I dont normally gravitate toward such flamboyant singers. But this album is hard to resist. Each song keeps you plugged in and wide eyed. The songs range from fun of "Grace Kelly" to the sad loneliness of "My Interpretation" and all the way to the sugary pop of "Lollipop". Life in Cartoon Motion, is an album that you will put in, and then won't take it out until it is over. That is a personal guarantee!

Mika was born in Beirut, Lebanon, to a Lebanese mother and an American father. He is the middle child of the five children born to his parents. When he was a child, his family was forced to leave war-torn Lebanon, and they moved to Paris. They moved to London when he was nine years old, where he attended the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, Westminster School and the Royal College of Music, from which he later dropped out to record his first album.

He was trained by a Russian opera professional and his public performances and jobs have varied from classical performances in the Royal Opera House, writing in-flight music for British Airways and creating an Orbit Chewing Gum jingle.

His band consists of Martin Waugh (guitars, backing vocals), Michael Choi (bass, backing vocals), Cherisse Osei (drums) and Luke Juby (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals).
