Mikky Ekko is an American singer/songwriter from Louisiana. Mikky first built his rep (in the UK particularly) when he featured in Rihanna's single, Stay. Although Mikky's new single "Pull Me Down" is proving to be a hit, it is certainly not his debut. Previous to this single, Mikky released "Who Are You, Rally?"and "Feels Like the End."
This guy is definitely the newbie on the block. With his soothing voice, and wistful melodies Mikky Ekko flirts along the line between indie pop and alternative. When asked about his influences, he honestly answered "the idea of loneliness" something that I feel he translates beautifully into his music (listen to We Must Be Killers for proof!).
From listening to Mikky Ekko's music I am intrigued to hear what his new album (to be released very soon) is going to sound like. His voice, to me, sounds a great deal of OneRepublics front man and lead vocalist Ryan Tedder. Give him a try, i think you will like!
