More info:

Mika (born Mica Penniman, 18 August 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon) is a London-based singer who has a contract with Casablanca Records and Universal Music.

His public performances and jobs have varied from classical performances in the Royal Opera House, writing in-flight music for British Airways and creating an Orbit Chewing Gum advertisement theme tune. He appeared on BBC Radio 1 in September 2006. Although his background lies in classical music and he lists Flamenco as a central influence, his album is more like a fusion of pop music, dance music and funk.

On 5 January 2007, he came first in the BBC News website's Sound of 2007 poll.

His debut single was a download-only track called Relax, Take it Easy (2006). It was playlisted by BBC Radio 1 in the UK and was also made 'Record Of The Week' by DJ Scott Mills; virtually unheard of for a download-only release. The Dodgy Holiday EP is also available from the iTunes Music Store (UK).

He is a new Universal Music signing and set to release his single "Grace Kelly" by digital download on January 8th 2007; CD, 12" and limited edition 7" to be released on January 29th 2007. The release will feature remixes from Tom Neville, Bimbo Jones, Linus Loves and Pull Tiger Tail. His debut album Life in Cartoon Motion is slated for release on February 5th 2007.

Produced and mixed by Greg Wells in Los Angeles, the album has a unique sound that has brought comparisons with artists such as Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Scissor Sisters and Rufus Wainwright.

He looks like a cross between Beck and Prince in that picture.

based on random iTunes sampling, he sounds like that too. except with bland techno music in the background.

if he's the saviour, then I'll pass on the rapture.

Pop music can't be saved,
he's just another victim condemned to a life of musical crucifixition,
IE, one good record, and 2 lackluster records, eventually being dropped from his label, will be in a motel 50 miles away from mexico city, with a cheap 16 year old mestizo prostitute, sucking on a bottle of jack daniels mixed with grape fruit juice, wondering how the hell he got there...
but i'll still check him out,

Grace Kelly is the best song I've heard in ages!!
