Featured Artist of April 19, 2020
with the Album: Oh Me Oh Life

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.

with 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.
