If someone could live in the soulful intersection of R&B, Gospel and Pop, that’s likely where Mikey Jose would make his home. In fact, it is the space between genres, fields, and environments where he has found comfort. His church-influenced, science-immersed, art-filled, culturally-overlapping background has provided him with a unique perspective on the world, informing his mantra: music is medicine.

Drawing influence from vocal heavy-hitters like Stevie Wonder, Allen Stone, Jazmine Sullivan and Lucky Daye, Mikey Jose has crafted his own sonic signature featuring intentional melodies and lyrics that reflect the unique complexities of existing in the 21st century. His pen has touched songs that have streamed 8 million+ times as a fully independent artist.

Mikey is currently pursuing a PhD in Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia to understand the power of music in medicine. He has been featured on the TEDx global platform, Music Care International Conference, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s Roundtable series, Broadway’s Best for Parkinson’s, and more.
