Biography


by AceShowbiz.com

in 2006 to a really fine result for a newcomer when it broke through BBC Radio 1 and was deemed Record of the Week by DJ Scott Mills. More overwhelming response was addressed to Mika by the time his second single 'Grace Kelly' came to the surface in digital download on January 8, 2007. A Queen-ishly vivacious glam-rock stomp, the composition quickly became a smash hit in the U.K, hitting the top spot of the country's Singles Chart less than two weeks. Completing the initial success, his debut album "Life in Cartoon Motion" was then released on February 5 the same year through Universal's Island Records, featuring other enjoyable nine tracks besides the two aforementioned songs. Critics have generally given good reviews for Mika's fresh and bold sound in the album that eventually he spawned six singles from the album in U.K. alone. His name was immediately linked to famous musicians such as Brian May from legendary rock band Queen and Madonna. He was a big winner at 2007 World Music Awards, taking as many as four titles namely Best Selling Pop/Rock Male Artist, Best Selling New Artist, Best Selling Male Entertainer, and Best Selling British Artist.
