UPDATE: Hawaii-born singer mikah has just released his highly anticipated ‘Homesick’ trilogy, marking a pivotal moment in his rapidly ascending career. This release comes on the heels of a transformative year for the artist, who is now capturing global attention after launching his solo music journey.
In an exclusive interview, mikah shared insights into his evolution from a budding musician to a rising star, having previously been a member of the multi-national group INTO1. His path began after moving to Japan at just 16 years old, where he joined an entertainment company that led to his debut in the group. “I learned to play ukulele and violin in high school, but I never thought music would be my profession until I moved to Japan,” he disclosed to FOX 13.
New reports confirm that the turning point in his career came in 2021 when he auditioned for China’s largest televised competition, CHUANG 2021. His captivating cover of “Unbreakable Love” instantly resonated with judges and viewers alike, thrusting him into the spotlight. Despite not speaking Chinese, he dedicated himself to perfecting the song, which ultimately secured his place in INTO1.
After two successful years with the group, mikah has embarked on a solo career that showcases his unique sound. In 2023, he released his first solo EP, ‘bleached’, pivoting from traditional pop to a slower R&B style. “I wasn’t worried about the genre shift because I always had strong ideas about my music,” he stated.
The first single from his ‘Homesick’ trilogy, titled “Escape,” launched in October 2025, tells the story of his journey from Hawaii to a big city, confronting obstacles that challenge his dreams. “The song depicts feeling lonely and realizing that the city isn’t as glamorous as I imagined,” he explained.
On November 18, mikah unveiled the remaining tracks of the trilogy, including “In Between” and “Dream,” which collectively delve into his experiences of homesickness. “Dream” explores how he copes with longing for home, emphasizing that home is now defined by his current lifestyle and relationships rather than a specific place.
Mikah’s latest release has already begun making waves across social media, and with big aspirations for 2024, he expressed his desire to engage with fans worldwide. “I hope to see my fans in different countries and expand my boundaries next year,” he said passionately.
As this rising star continues to build momentum, the music industry is keeping a close eye on mikah’s journey, eager to see where his talent will take him next. Stay tuned for more updates as mikah strives for greater global reach and artistic exploration.
