Japanese American Pop artist Mikara creates music that makes you want to move while simultaneously tugging at your heart strings. Her honey coated vocals dance around pop beats while pouring her heart out over lyrics straight from the soul.  

Mikara’s passion for music and songwriting started at a young age. As a child, her father K-Doh would sing and play guitar to get the kids to fall asleep. While this method worked on her older siblings, it had the opposite effect on her, as she’d stay up singing and dancing all night long. By the age of 6 she was performing in front of crowds, with her dad backing her on guitar and she continues to perform out with him today with his band K-Doh & The Doh-Nutz! 

In 2021, Mikara’s talent was recognized when she won celebrity voice coach Cari Cole’s Best New Artist Contest, and earned a scholarship to The Ride—an exclusive mentorship program led by award-winning songwriter and vocal coach Wendy Parr.

Her singles “you’re gonna miss me” and “Runaround” gained traction on Spotify’s New Music Friday Philippines editorial playlist, and she followed up with her dreamy debut EP, “Melancholia,” produced by Jeremiah Raisen who’s worked with the likes of Charli XCX and Sky Ferreira.

Now, Mikara is diving even deeper into her artistry as she works on her debut full-length album—a body of work that promises to take her vulnerable storytelling and signature sound to bold new heights.

Mikara is carving out her own lane—where vulnerability meets vibrance—and you can find her music on all major streaming platforms.
