One people under a groove.

One of the few reggae Girls in Europe, MIKA has been playing the finest roots reggae for several years, with a brace of new
sounds.

Women are a surprisingly rare commodity in reggae, but MIKA pulls off a double coup with "ORIGINAL-E MISSION" and "ONLY
FOR MUSIC". On the one hand, she is one of the very few women in European reggae. Secondly, she has one of the few
remaining reggae outfits in Belgium - one that can really rock the house.
When MIKA's group get down on a rhythm, they hold it tightly.
She has always been dynamic and professionnal, mixing Reggae with Rock and diverses occidental music with a ethnical
grec touch…

It’s several years then (Sophie Michalakoudis & her Sister Anne “Factor X” & all the MIKA musicians) haven’t been stopping
playing on shows in all kind of events mixtes or strictly reggae, picking up an award from the Sabam and producing quality
albums on CD’S such the mini album “SEARCHING FOR A REASON" or full album “ORIGINAL-E MISSION" & the latest “ONLY
FOR MUSIC" which is probably their best production ; the music, the singing, the lyrics, the voice are very mature, the vibes
also…

MIKA and their musicians (THE GENERAL DUB PROGRESS) have been well improved, denoncing blindness & wickedness…
The Studio work for the making of this CD has been well made with the complicity of some professionnaling
soundengeneers Serge Alidor (Paris), Dub Stylee “Tonight” & “Only for Music” by Dubcreator (on which the vocals sounds
alike Sista Aïcha).The featuring of Derick Brown with his flashing chatting & voice of rapping and JP Izizaw who is also
composer with Sophie and player of instruments…
The tracks are various, roots, Dub, Ragga, touch of hiphop in a different styles with conscious lyrics inna french & english, all
arranged by Sophie, JP, some from Anne except “I create” from Duckie Simpson (Black Uhuru) & “Be Strong” by Steve Nisbett
(STEEL PULSE)…..
It would be wrong to think that MIKA is simply a copy of the sounds coming from Jamaica !

2005, MIKA releases a new project-single with the special collaboration of OMAR PERRY (Lee Scratch Perry son) - The single was recorded at Ebony Studio (Antwerpen) and mixed by the famous wellknown GUSSIE P. So BORDERLINE is on the way !!!
so get ready !
