Mika El Inspire Wonder

"I almost died about 5 years ago. Ever since then, my health has not been the same.
But I'm still standing here.

I really want to contribute back to the humanity while I'm still alive.

My songs are intended to look out for the future.
Most of them are sung to share the know-how techniques I know to enjoy living life on this Earth.

Of course I have the dark-side in me, too.
There are songs that are very down and out, but they are there also to show that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately, I'm not strong enough to carry out what I want to do as a band.
And my short stamina even causes hardship to do solo gigs.
Though I really want to regain my health, I have no idea how long I can keep on playing and gigging physically.
But there are many more songs I want to present in this world while I'm still here, to make life easier and better, celebrate life, and I hope to contribute them through my original music."
