19. Miky Mik: Channeling Myself

Miky Mik and I dig in to how creating power pop rock music videos and working towards her PhD in Microbiology are both expressions of the same creative explorationFollow: @MikyMikOfficialMikyMik.comMiky MikCreator's Challenge: Compose with an AppWrite your emotions in a journal; highlight the core ideas, take that to a music app and pair it with a melody OR - download an instrumental app, create a melody around an emotion and see what words come out to create a melodyBio & IntroMiky Mik is a power pop rock singer-songwriter and producer based in Los Angeles. Since picking up her first electric guitar at 14, she's been playing and writing songs.Mik has developed a modern pop twist on 90s garage band pop punk. Her lyrics are empowering and aggressive in all the best ways. She performs regularly as a frontman with her band in LA including recent appearances at the Viper Room and the Whiskey. I really enjoy her recent music video Nuclear Fallout. She has also collaborated with Youngcarebare and Stolen Audio and has several releases from her female pop punk duo Mik & Maxi. Mik is a scientist earning her PhD by day and a powerful pop punk rocker by night!
