Melbourne-based indie artist Mika James represents a passionate new wave of songwriters whose work champions an intimate and open style of expression. As a solo artist, James has been capturing the attention of industry tastemakers thanks to her diverse palette of influences that stretch from Laura Marling to Patti Smith; PJ Harvey to Sharon Van Etten.
She has supported the likes of Bakers Eddy, Chitra and Quivers, while audiences may also recognise her for her work behind the drumkit in Melbourne punk outfit, The Vovos. As she moves further into the solo spotlight, James’ work spotlights a love for melody, intricate lyrics and weaving soundscapes that are inviting and real.
