Micayl
is a german Songwriter, composer and producer. Mirroring Europe’s
multiculturalism, Micayl’s work crosses and fuses genres to create an
idiosyncratic sound blending ballad jazz, soul-infused hip hop, organic lo-,
funk and swing. His latest project, a fifteen-minute collaborative piece
informed by Walt Whitman’s ‘O Me! O Life!’, in which six artists have
‘contributed a verse’, typies the coexistence and collective contribution
underlying much of Micayl’s work. OH ME, OH LIFE is due to be released on
the 20th of March 2020.
About the Album OH ME OH LIFE is a
conceptual project informed by WALT WHITMAN’S poem (OH ME OH LIFE) and
features 6 Artist from 6 dierent countries and genre Backgrounds (US,
NORWAY, SPAIN, AUSTRIA, UK, ISRAEL)
The Project is designed to be one continuous piece, made up of 6 individual
songs in which each featured Artist takes on ‘A verse’. Every part is
designed to be connected through a Leitmotiv reappearing in dierent versions
at either the end or beginning.
(This idea is inspired by classical composer ‘Modest Mussorgsky’s PICTURES
AT AN EXHIBITION)
OH ME, OH LIFE is dealing with the phenomenon of developing multiple faces
or versions of our character depending on the people we surround ourselves
with or what we experience in life.

the song: Monochrome
European identity lies at the heart of singer-songwriter Micayl’s latest
endeavour, the Pan-European Music Projects Association, a project aimed at
bringing together artists across the continent to which Micayl is
contributing as a composer, songwriter and producer. Like that identity and
that of his native Germany, Micayl’s musical style is diverse, varied, a
medley of influences from Miles Davis and John Coltrane to Tom Misch and
Jordan Rakei, Ray Charles and Bob Dylan to FKJ and Kendrick Lamar.
Never one to be constrained by rigid, restrictive boundaries, Micayl often
moves between several musical projects and social circles at once: alongside
the Pan-European Music Projects Association, he is a member of the Blue
Blood Collective founded by Spilt Milk Society frontman Harry Handford, as
well as a session pianist and keyboard player for artists based in and
around Germany and the UK.
