Michael
Holbrook Penniman Jr., known as MIKA, is a famous English singer. He was born
in Lebanon but when he was six months his family and he moved to Paris. They
stayed there until Mika was 11 years old; since then, they’ve lived in London.
He is the
third of 5 sons; he has three sisters, Yasmine, Zuleika and Paloma, and a
brother, Fortunè.
They are a
great family and it’s been the love of his family that made him overcome difficult
moments. In fact, Mika has had a terrible childhood. He was often laughed at by other students because he was “weird”.
He loved being different, he loved wearing extravagant clothes; he loved being
free and just being himself.
Since he
was a child, he was fond of music. At the age of 11 he took part in one of the
most famous opera orchestras. Then
thanks to Myspace, he released
his first song, Grace Kelly. Since then, his career began
His debut
was 10 years ago, on 29th January 2007 when he released his first album
“Life in Cartoon Motion”.
The most
famous songs of that album are Grace Kelly, Relax Take It Easy, Happy Ending
and Lollipop. In my
opinion, the best song is Happy Ending, it has meaningful lyrics and is a very emotional song!
The second
album is “The boy who knew too much”. It’s an album with a lot of beautiful
songs, but if I had to choose my best favourite, I’d choose Kick Ass (we are young).
The third album is “The origin of love”, maybe my best
favourite. It’s completely different from the others because it’s the most
romantic. The most beautiful songs are Underwater, Stardust and The origin of
love. In my opinion the best duo he has done is with Chiara Galiazzo, the
winner of Xfactor 2012. They sang a wonderful song : Stardust.
The latest
album is “No place in heaven”. The best songs are Good Guys, Beautiful
disaster, Staring at the sun and Talk about you. My favourite is Beautiful disaster
where he sings with one of the most famous italian rapper, Fedez.
10 things which
makes Mika special:
- He’s gay;

his first “song” when he was 6;

So guys,
there are too many things to say about MIKA and, if I had to tell you all, 100
pages wouldn’t be enough! So I must stop here! But, by the way, I
haven’t told you the most important thing: I saw him in two live concerts and I met him twice.
I’ll show
you some pics…
I still can’t believe it, but it was all true. They were the best days of my life and I’ll never forget them. So, that’s all! I hope I haven’t bored you and that you liked this post. Till next time!
