A poignant artist rising through the ranks with his formidable and extraordinary voice, Jean-Mikhael brings finesse and flair through his music and fashion. His eloquent and soothing vocals are entangled with mesmerising melodies and effortless vigour. Taking it back to the basics he showcases his theatrical presence through his live performance, with immediate star quality.
“Senorita” is taken from his newly released EP The Deal. Glossy, innovative and empowering, the EP is a deliberate construction that has been built from a recipe of productions, emotions, visuals and lyrics, all seasoned with time rather than being rushed out, which is a standout difference to his music. The project zoomed to the top of the R&B/Soul iTunes charts to the top 10 and peaking at Number 8.
The Deal is an intricate collection of singles that span across contemporary R&B and pop, with an electronic influences. From the sub-heavy “Every Little Thing” to the seductive and sensual sounds of “Senorita,” the EP is the blank canvas to which Jean-Mikhael expresses his diverse sound and musicality.
Although a fresh artist, Jean-Mikhael already has an impressive catalogue of achievements. Not only a BRIT School graduate, following in the footsteps of notable alumni such as Adele, Amy Winehouse, Jessie J and Ella Eyre, his first musical venture was as the young Michael Jackson in London’s West-End production of Thriller LIVE.
His confidence on stage has also been captured on camera having shot numerous fashion shoots including for Teen Vogue. With such disciplines conquered, his show stopping, showman tendencies continue to play a central role within all aspects of his music, from the sound and delivery through to the visuals themselves, the first of which is set to release alongside The Deal EP.
His live presence has also awarded him with a sold-out headline show at 229 The Venue and performances for platforms such as Sofar Sounds and People’s Day 2018. He’s currently touring schools across the country as a spokesperson to talk about critical issues and perform original material.
