MIKA is headed to Seattle at The Moore Theatre on October 26, 2009 at 7:30pm. This will be an ALL AGES show with reserved seating so you want to get your tickets in advance.
By now it is clear that Mika is not as other artists are. His surname could just as well be ‘Singular’. Enveloped in an imaginative musical world of his own creation, he is one of the few British male pop stars of his age that doesn’t run with the pack. Classically trained, racially mixed and prone to theatrical physical gesture, he has become a scion of ambitiously delivered self-expression. He says his music can be condensed easily, ‘the basic principals are that it is joyful and empowering and doesn’t cowtow to fashion or convention,’ calling to mind an old and almost forgotten pop notion: individuality.
Mika has sold millions in Europe and he was nominated for and won awards from the Brits, the Grammys, the Ivor Novellos, Capital Radio, Q magazine, The World Music Awards, BT and Vodaphone, Virgin Media and MTV’s Europe, Asia, Australia and Japan, amongst others. Mika’s new album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much, will be released on September 22, 2009.
Be sure to check out his song Billy Brown and the article in Out Magazine: Pop’s New Queen. Like many of today’s younger generation, Mika does not want to put a label on his sexuality.
…he firmly declared, “I’m not willing to label myself.” His consistent not-quite no comment continues to ruffle the feathers of out and proud queers…
Tickets for this show are just $27.50, not including applicable fees and go on sale Saturday, August 29th at 10am. Check out STGPresents.org for more details.
