Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr.[6][7][8] (born 18 August 1983), known by his stage name Mika (/ˈmiːkə/ MEE-kə, stylised as MIKA), is a Lebanese-born British singer-songwriter.

After recording his first extended play, Dodgy Holiday, Mika was named the number-one predicted breakthrough act of 2007 in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2007.[9] Mika released his first full-length studio album, Life in Cartoon Motion, on Island Records in 2007, which sold more than 5.6 million copies worldwide and helped Mika win a Brit Award—winning Best British Breakthrough act—and receive a Grammy Award nomination.[10] He topped the UK Singles Chart in January 2007 with "Grace Kelly". He has since gone on to record four more studio albums (most recently My Name is Michael Holbrook released in October 2019), as well as serve as judge/mentor on both the French version of The Voice and the Italian version of X Factor. Mika has also starred in his own television variety show in Italy, Stasera Casa Mika [it], which won the 2017 Rose d'Or Award for Entertainment.

Life and career

1983–2006: Childhood and early career

Mika was born in Beirut, the third of five children (three sisters Yasmine, Paloma and Zuleika and one brother Fortuné), to an American-born Lebanese mother and an Israeli-born American father, Mary Joan "Joannie" (née Mouakad, daughter of John Mouakad and Odette Farah) and Michael Holbrook Penniman (son of William Frederick Penniman III and Dorothy Dyar). His father was a banker[7][11] and was born in Jerusalem, where his own father – Mika's paternal grandfather William Frederick Penniman III – was a diplomat.[11][12] Mika's maternal grandfather John Mouakad was Syrian (from Damascus).[13][14]

When Mika was a year old, his family was forced to leave war-torn Lebanon and moved to Paris, France.[12][15] The first piano piece he learned to play was "Les Champs-Élysées", by Joe Dassin.[12] At the age of 7, he wrote his first song, a piano instrumental called "Angry", which he describes as "awful".[7] The family moved to London when he was 9 years old. There, he attended the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, where he experienced severe bullying. He also had problems with dyslexia. In response to these experiences Mika was home-schooled by his mother at the age of 12, for six to eight months.[7] He then attended St Philip's School in Kensington, where he was the head of the Schola Cantorum (the St. Philip's Choir). Later he attended Westminster School and the Royal College of Music, which he left to record his first album at Casablanca Records.[16] As a child Mika was trained by Alla Ardakov (Ablaberdyeva), a Russian opera professional.

Mika's first single was a limited 7"/download release called "Relax, Take It Easy" (2006). It was play-listed by UK's BBC Radio 1 and was made Record of the Week by DJ Scott Mills. The Dodgy Holiday EP also became available for download. The song "Billy Brown" was available for free download for a week from the iTunes Store. A song titled 'Over-rated', which was recorded in 2004, was "unofficially" released online. His debut radio appearance was on Dermot O'Leary's BBC Radio 2 show in September 2006.

2007–2008: Life in Cartoon Motion

Main article: Life in Cartoon Motion

The comparisons to Freddie Mercury are fine. They started long before I made the record – I've even referred to it in Grace Kelly. A Freddie comparison is a compliment. He's a genius and one of the best there's ever been.

—Mika following being named the BBC's Sound of 2007.[9]

On 19 January 2007, Mika appeared on Later... with Jools Holland, and on The Friday Night Project.[17] That same month, Mika was on the top of the BBC News website's Sound of 2007 poll.[18] His single "Grace Kelly" was released by Universal Music for digital download on 8 January 2007. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart on 21 January 2007.

Mika toured the United States in June 2007, with support from Sara Bareilles and Natalia Lesz. Mika's début album Life in Cartoon Motion was released on 5 February 2007, and brought comparisons with artists such as Freddie Mercury,[19][20] Scissor Sisters,[21] Elton John,[22] Prince,[23] Robbie Williams[24] and David Bowie.[24] "Grace Kelly", in fact, references Mercury in the lyrics: "I try to be like Grace Kelly/But all her looks were too sad/So I tried a little Freddie/I've gone identity mad."

Mika performing at the V Festival in 2007

Mika was the musical act for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on 26 March 2007[25] and 14 February 2008 and for Jimmy Kimmel Live! on 27 March 2007.[26] He also performed live on So You Think You Can Dance on 26 July 2007.

On 10 October 2007, Mika began his Dodgy Holiday Tour, playing at venues across Europe. On 17 November 2007, Mika started the UK leg of his tour with support from Palladium. The North American leg of his tour began in January 2008 with support from The Midway State and Creature and continued through February with a stop in Los Angeles for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.

His debut album Life in Cartoon Motion has a coming of age theme and deals with his transition from childhood to the present, though he has stated that not all of the songs are autobiographical. His songs often deal with difficult topics. For instance, in "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" the theme of larger women suffering from discrimination is explored. Mika has said that the fact that his mother was a big woman, and that he had seen the prejudices against her, helped him to write the song.[27] In another example of dealing with more difficult subject matter, in the song "Billy Brown", Mika writes about a married man who has a homosexual affair.

On 20 February 2008, Mika opened the 2008 Brit Awards with a live performance of "Love Today," "Grace Kelly," and a duet, "Standing in the Way of Control", with Beth Ditto. He was later awarded the BRIT Award for Best British Breakthrough Artist.

Mika has reportedly written songs for other musicians, saying "I write songs for other people under different names most of the time. I have a little family of three names. One of them has been discovered – it's Alice."[28]

2009–2010: The Boy Who Knew Too Much

Main article: The Boy Who Knew Too Much (album)

Prior to the release of his second studio album, Mika released a limited-edition extended play titled Songs for Sorrow on 8 June 2009.[29] The EP includes 4 tracks and a 68-page book featuring lyrics and exclusive illustrated interpretations of each song by some of Mika's favourite artists.[29] The song "Blue Eyes" was used to promote the EP, and was A-listed on the BBC Radio 2 playlist.[30]

Mika's second studio album The Boy Who Knew Too Much was released on 21 September 2009.[31] Mika recorded the majority of the album in Los Angeles with producer and musician Greg Wells, who also produced his debut album Life in Cartoon Motion.[32] The album has been described as Mika dealing with his adolescent teenage years and "in a sense is kind of part two" of his first album.[33]

The album was originally titled We Are Golden after the first single from the album, "We Are Golden". On 20 July 2009 in an on-air interview with DJ Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 1, Mika revealed he was considering renaming the album, because he wanted "something a little more ridiculous."[34] On 6 August 2009 it was confirmed that the album's title would change to The Boy Who Knew Too Much.[35]

The first single from the album, "We Are Golden", made its radio debut in the United Kingdom on 20 July 2009, on BBC Radio 2[36] and was released for download on 6 September 2009, with the physical release following on 7 September 2009.[31] The single debuted at number 4 on the UK Singles Chart on 13 September 2009. Mika's promotional tour of the single included live performances at the iTunes Festival 2009 at The Roundhouse in Camden, London and on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross in September 2009. It was reported that Mika spent £25,000 on drinks after inviting fans to join him at his local pub via Twitter on 7 September 2009 to celebrate the release of his single.[37]

"Blame It on the Girls" was released as the second single in the United States and Japan. This was alongside "Rain" being the second single in the United Kingdom which was released on 23 November.[38] "Blame It on the Girls" was released as a single in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2010.[39] His American promotional tour consisted of live performances on Good Morning America in New York City on 25 September 2009 and the Late Show with David Letterman on 14 October 2009.

In November 2009 Mika performed 'Rain' and 'We Are Golden' live at the Sydney Opera House for the Australian Idol Grand Final. He also performed on Sunrise on the Seven Network in Australia. On 30 November 2009, Mika performed "Let It Snow" in a duet with Japanese pop star Hikaru Utada.[40] On 21 March 2010 Mika performed "Gave It All Away" with Boyzone on ITV1 for Boyzone: A Tribute To Stephen Gately.

In March 2010, Mika was honoured in France with the Order of Arts and Letters (Chevalier [Knight]) for services to music.[41]

In May 2010 Mika released the single "Kick Ass (We Are Young)", the title track to the 2010 film "Kick-Ass".

2010–2014: The Origin of Love, X Factor Italy and Songbook Vol.1

Mika in 2012

Before the release of his third album, Mika stated in numerous interviews that it would be more simplistic and less layered than the previous one.[42] Mika announced the title of the album, The Origin of Love in a French interview on 17 June.[43] Mika stated he would include a number of French tracks on the album, and that the musical style would include elements of Daft Punk and Fleetwood Mac.[44] He described the album as less childlike and more serious.

The first single released from the album was "Elle me dit", Mika's first French track. It was released online on 1 July 2011. Mika collaborated with a number of artists on various tracks of this album, including Nick Littlemore of Empire of the Sun, Paul Steel, frYars, Doriand, Priscilla Renea, Billboard, Hillary Lindsey, Pharrell Williams, Benny Benassi and Klas Åhlund. Greg Wells was involved in the production of the album. At the time he was working on his own album, MIKA also contributed his vocals to the production of The All-American Rejects' 2012 album Kids in the Street.

On 8 June 2012, the video for "Make You Happy" was released on Vimeo.[45] The song served as a buzz single for the album.[46] On 14 June 2012, "Celebrate", which features Pharrell Williams, was announced as the album's lead single.[47][48] The album was released internationally on 17 September 2012 and in the UK on 8 October 2012.[49]

On 6 March 2013, Mika announced a new tour and that after taking some time off, he had begun writing his fourth album, as well as songs for other artists. Mika also hinted that new material might be released towards the end of 2013.[50]

On 23 April 2013, Mika was revealed to be the new judge on the seventh season of The X Factor Italy. He was the first international mentor on the Italian edition of the show.[51] Mika returned to the panel for the eighth and ninth series of the show before leaving to focus on other projects.

Mika released a compilation album, on 18 November 2013, in Italy titled Songbook Vol. 1, including music from his three previous albums, plus new re-worked tracks.[52]

Also in 2013, Mika and his sister Yasmine designed two watches for Swatch, in honor of the company's 30th anniversary. The watches were unveiled in November 2013 at the Venice Biennale.[53] The regular edition "Kukulakuku" has a large watch face dominated by blue and comes in a plastic box, while the strictly limited edition "Kukulakuki" has a smaller face dominated by white and comes in a special tin and box.

On 17 January 2014, Mika took part in the Italian television show Le Invasioni Barbariche on La7, and performed a duet with the Nobel Prize in Literature recipient Dario Fo of the song "Ho visto un Re", written by Fo and played by Enzo Jannacci.[54]

Mika joined The Voice: la plus belle voix (the French version of the television show The Voice) as a judge/mentor in 2014. One of his contestants, Kendji Girac, won the competition that year.

2015–2018: No Place in Heaven

Main article: No Place in Heaven

In February 2015, Mika performed a series of three concerts with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of conductor Simon Leclerc. The concerts featured a selection of Mika's songs scored for a full orchestra by Mika and Leclerc. The concerts met with glowing reviews, with some calling the presentations "memorable"[55] and "a beautiful collaboration between the artist and the orchestra."[56]

Mika's fourth album, No Place in Heaven, was released on 15 June 2015.[57] He described the album as "direct, low-down, open, candid, playful, yet a mature pop album which takes its inspiration from '60s pop music".[58] On 13 November 2015 the album was re-released in the form of a double-disc deluxe edition, containing a number of bonus tracks on Disc 1 as well as a full-length orchestral bonus disc, which includes a performance by Mika with L'Orchestre Symphonique De Montreal.[59]

The following year, Mika began filming for his own television show, called Stasera Casa Mika, in Italy.[60] The variety show featured a number of Italian actors, musicians and other cultural icons, as well as performers from around the world, including Kylie Minogue, Sting, LP and Dita von Teese. In addition to music, the show had comedy sketches and serious looks at life around Italy. The show won the 2017 Rose d'Or as Best Entertainment Series.[61]

Starting January 1, 2016 and periodically through January 1, 2019, Mika hosted a series of episodes (11 in total) of a Mika: The Art Of Song on BBC Radio 2. In the programs, he discussed musical influences and focused on a variety of artists, including Joni Mitchell and Carole King.

In May 2016, Mika and his sister Yasmine unveiled another Swatch watch that they had designed.[62] This Swatch was named Mumu-Cucurrucucu. It has an engraved golden dial with a bright colored geometric design dominated by white and green, and comes in a box also designed by the Mika and his sister.

In February 2017, Mika performed at the Sanremo Festival in a tribute to the late George Michael.[63]

Also, at the end of 2017, Mika began a collaboration with Pilot pens. He and his sister Yasmine designed a collection of 24 different pens to help celebrate Pilot's 100th anniversary.[64] As part of the promotion for this collaboration, a newly remixed (by Ryan Riback) version of Mika's song "Celebrate" was released and used in advertisements.[65]

In 2018, Mika featured on Adam to Eve no Ringo, a tribute album to Japanese musician Ringo Sheena, covering Sheena's song "Sid to Hakuchūmu" from her debut album Muzai Moratorium (1999).[66]

In May 2019, Mika released the single "Ice Cream" and announced his fifth studio album, My Name Is Michael Holbrook, for release on 4 October 2019.[67] Several other singles and accompanying videos were released over the next few months leading up to the album release: "Tiny Love," "Dear Jealousy," "Tomorrow," and "Sanremo."

The album was promoted in North America in September 2019 with the Tiny Love Tiny Tour at small venues in New York, Montreal, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Mexico City. In addition, Mika appeared on the American TV show "Late Night with Seth Meyers" on 11 September 2019, performing new song "Tiny Love," along with "Big Girl" from his first album.[68]

In October 2019, Mika was honored with the Music Award at the 2019 Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards[69] hosted in London by the UK's Attitude Magazine. The award acknowledged that "after staring down homophobia at the start of his pop career, Mika is now making unapologetically queer music that also processes his past pain." In a related article in Attitude, Mika noted, "If I didn't have music, I would not have been able to understand or deal with my sexuality in the same way. It's always been at the centre of my writing."

Mika launched a worldwide tour, known as the Revelation Tour, in London on 10 November 2019. The 2019 leg of the tour included dates in Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland and Belgium. It continued in 2020 with stops in Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, and Italy[70] then went on to several dates in New Zealand and Australia.[71] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mika announced in February 2020 the cancellation of the Asian leg of the tour in Japan, China and South Korea.[72] Subsequently, the North and South American leg of the tour got cancelled, including a performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[73][74]

In between concert stops, Mika made several television appearances, including: a live episode of X Factor Italia (24 October 2019);[75] the finale of France's The Voice Kids (October 2019);[76] and the live finale of Danse Avec les Stars (23 November 2019).[77]

In January 2020, Mika released the album "MIKA Live at Brooklyn Steel," for digital download/streaming only. It is a recording of his September 13, 2019, concert at the venue Brooklyn Steel in New York.[79]

Mika returned to X Factor Italia as a judge in the summer/fall of 2020.[80]

On September 19, 2020, Mika held a streaming concert in aid of Beirut, Lebanon, to help the city's citizens after a devastating explosion hit Beirut in August. The concert, titled "I Love Beirut", featured a number of international performers, including Kylie Minogue, Danna Paola, Louane, Salma Hayek and Rufus Wainwright.[81] The concert went on to raise more than £1 million. In recognition of his efforts for aiding Lebanon, Mika received the Order of Merit (Lebanon) in early 2021.[82]

Mika also returned to Italian television as a judge of X Factor Italia, alongside co-judges singer Emma Marrone, Italian rapper and producer Hell Raton, and Manuel Agnelli, of the Italian band Afterhours.

Just before Christmas, Mika hosted "Do Re MIKA Sol," a concert to benefit the charity Imagine for Margo, held in the pediatric department of the French Institut Curie.

An album of the concert, Mika a l'Opéra Royal de Versailles, was later released in early 2021.

Mika also performed at the New Year's Eve celebration, La Grande Soiree, filmed at Versailles, which aired on France 2, where he performed an 8-minute opening medley of some of his biggest hits.

2021–present

With touring and most live performances on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mika turned to other projects in 2021.

In March 2021, Mika launched a project that was billed as an open-air exhibition to give colours back to Paris. Collaborating with a number of artists and his sister Yasmine, Mika created a series of posters that were displayed on the Morris columns and other advertising boards around the city.[84]

With the COVID-19 pandemic starting to get under control in the spring of 2021, Mika announced two concerts at the Philharmonie de Paris for October. The concerts were to be performed with the National Orchestra de France and the Choeur Stella Maris.

For Pride Month in June, Mika partnered with job-search platform Indeed, for an initiative called "Soundtrack of Empathy." The initiative encouraged workers to share their music playlists with colleagues, in an effort to create a more empathetic workplace. Along with the "Soundtrack of Empathy," Mika performed a live-streamed benefit concert, which raised $40,000 for Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation. There was also an influencer roundtable featuring artists selected by Mika, who spoke about the shared language of music and how it naturally encourages empathy and sparks vulnerability.[85]

Mika performed at two private concerts hosted by jeweler Chopard during the Cannes Film Festival in July.[86] While attending these events, he was followed by Italian filmmaker Pif, who aired a special episode in the fall on a day in Mika's life on the Italian television show Il Testimone (The Witness).

Mika continued his work as a judge on X Factor Italia in 2021, and also rejoined The Voice France, for a special "All-Stars" 10th anniversary edition.

September 2021 marked Mika's return to larger performances, as he headlined a private event hosted by American Express for its premium cardholders. The concert was held at Salle Pleyel in Paris for about 2000 attendees.

The concerts at Philharmonie de Paris occurred as scheduled on 23 and 24 October.[87] The 23 October concert was filmed and subsequently broadcast on TV in both France and Italy.[88]

In early December 2021, Mika announced that he would be continuing his partnership with Indeed, which would sponsor a short North American tour in Spring 2022. With stops in New York (Brooklyn), Boston, Montreal and Toronto, the "For the Rite of Spring Tour" is scheduled to span three weeks in April.[89] A concert set for London's famous Roundhouse venue was announced for 3 July 2022. It will be Mika's first concert in London in more than two years.[90] In addition, several festival dates in France were announced in December, with more to come.[91]

On 2 February 2022, it was announced that Mika would host the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 alongside Italian singer Laura Pausini and TV presenter Alessandro Cattelan.[92] On 13 May, Mika released the single "Yo Yo", which he performed as part of an interval medley at the final of the contest.[93]

Personal life

Mika's legal name is Michael Holbrook Penniman, Jr., but he was given the nickname Mica by his mother. As he grew older, he changed the 'c' to a 'k'.[94]

Mika has one younger brother and one younger sister along with two older sisters. His oldest sister Yasmine, who works as an artist under the nom de plume DaWack, painted the cartoon art for his two albums Life in Cartoon Motion[95] and The Boy Who Knew Too Much.[96]

Mika was raised as a Melkite Catholic, and in a 2013 interview he described himself as "still a Roman Catholic". He also acknowledged how the church and its ceremonial influenced his musical training and later work.[97]

In addition to English, Mika speaks French,[12] Spanish and Italian[98] fluently; in an interview on 28 September 2009 with The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 he commented that he had taken Mandarin Chinese lessons for nine years but does not speak it very well; he also mentioned that his three sisters speak it fluently. He also speaks a little Arabic, in a Lebanese dialect.[99] Mika holds dual UK and US citizenship.[100]

Early in his career, many questions about Mika's sexual orientation arose, but he declined to label himself. In a September 2009 interview in Gay & Night Mika commented on his sexuality: "I've never ever labelled myself. But having said that, I've never limited my life, I've never limited who I sleep with ... Call me whatever you want. Call me bisexual, if you need a term for me ..."[101] In a March 2010 interview with the London Evening Standard, he stated: "I consider myself label-less because I could fall in love with anybody – literally – any type, any body. I'm not picky."[102]

In an August 2012 interview with the magazine Instinct, the singer described himself as gay.[103] In 2021, Mika has been more open about his family life and his personal relationship with film-maker Andreas Dermanis, with whom he has been involved for more than 10 years.[104]

Mika has been involved over the years with the French charitable organisation Imagine for Margo/Children without Cancer. In 2014 and 2015, Mika and the late photographer Peter Lindbergh worked together on an advertising campaign for the charity. Mika's image continues to be used in ads for the organisation.[105]

In December 2015, Mika visited Lebanon with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and spent time with refugees who had been forced to flee their homes during the ongoing conflict in Syria. Since then, he has made several video messages in support of this organisation[106] and in November 2017 was a special guest at a UNHCR charity event held in Milan.[107]

Mika has stated that he practices transcendental meditation and finds it useful.[108]

Since 2013, he has spent a lot of time in Italy, where he has a house and a studio in Tuscany in the province of Florence.[109]
