A comic book album
Mika describes the album "A comic book musical
biography of my adolescence".
In the video of the first single (We are Golden) ,
he dances in his bedroom.

Problems at school
Today Mika is a star, but things have not
always been easy. He was dyslexic and he was bullied
at school. But a Russian music teacher taught him how
to sing and play the piano. I was trained very hard,
the way, they used to train Russian gymnasts, he says.

Family business
Mika got a place at the Royal College of Music.
So he chose pop music. He got lots of encouragement
from his family, and they still help him today. Mika's
father is American and his mother is Lebanese (Libanés).
He has a three sisters and one brother. His family are very
creative.

A boy with discipline
Mika's mum has always insisted and hard work.
I was 12 years old, she drilled discipline and a quest
for excellence into me.
It was hard, but now I know what she means, he says.
When we listen to the new album, we know she was right!

My favourite TV programme

My favourite TV programme is FoQ it is a Spanish series.
I like FoQ because the stories and characters are great.
In the serie Cabano,Ruth,Alma and more, they were in
high school,copules...
In my opinion, the best character is Gorka and Cabano.
I like them because they're interesting and I like them
because they have beautiful eyes.
