MIKEY JOSE

"From the lab to the limelight" (ALT RECESS), Mikey Jose refuses to pick a lane. As a Neuroscience PhD candidate-by-day, independent artist-by-night, Mikey thrives in the in-between, putting him in a unique position to build bridges that connect brain and heart. Mikey’s signature sound comes from embracing the tension between the groundedness of R&B and Gospel, and playful storytelling of Pop, allowing him to deliver music that is both deeply soulful and effortlessly relatable. Mikey takes cues from classic and modern greats like Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Leon Thomas, and Beyoncé who lead with story through melody; this ethos allows his B-Side records to be as compelling as his radio hits.

Mikey's pen has touched songs that have streamed over 9 million times and hit international radio, all completely independent and pre-debut album release (set to drop in 2026). Exclaimed a “soulful powerhouse…[with vocals] in a league of his own” (EARMILK), Mikey carries infectious energy from the studio to the stage, headlining shows from Vancouver to Tokyo and opening for artists like Katie Tupper, GoldFord, and The Main Squeeze.
