Micah Sky is a Toronto born singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, music producer and educator.
Micah started playing piano when he was 7 years old. Beginning in the classical world, as most students do, he quickly developed a taste for improvising and writing his own music. He joined his first rock band in junior high and played his first gig that same year, discovering a love for live performance that still drives him to this day. A devoted student of music, Micah taught himself drums, guitar, jazz theory, music production and songwriting in the years that followed.
Micah now wears a number of musical hats. In addition to writing, recording, and producing his own material, he also writes, performs and produces with electronic duo “Cloud Ultrasound”, funk and blues band “Pudding”, and plays keyboards for blues and soul artist Conor Gains. He’s played on festival stages and venues across North America, including the Joshua Tree Music and TD Montreal Jazz festival in 2018. Micah also performs classic covers at markets and festivals across the city with his partner Liana under the name “Sky & Rose” .
In addition to performing, Micah also teaches music at the PACT Music School, with Jamlab Music, and privately with his own students. He takes great joy in illuminating and nurturing musical creativity while giving his students tools and techniques to create and grow on their own.
“The Fool On The Hill” is Micah Sky’s latest EP. It’s a collection of Beatle’s songs with a totally reimagined sonic palette. Like his first 2 EPs, “The Fool On The Hill” was recorded and produced entirely by Micah Sky.
“Sky Blue Sky” is singer-songwriter Micah Sky’s second EP, and marks a departure sonically and lyrically from his first EP “Call It Love”. Instead of drum kits and dense arrangements, “Sky Blue Sky” features a lighter, more acoustic touch, and more melancholic overtones than his first offering. Recorded and produced at home, without any guest contributors, the album maintains the same warmth, intimacy, and vocal trademarks of his first EP.
The 4 track EP “Call It Love” marks Micah’s debut as a full-fledged singer-songwriter. Released in the summer of 2020, the album was recorded at home and self-produced and engineered. Micah is the sole musician on the record, except for contributions by vocalist Liana Rose and bassist Josh Cohen.
“Call it Love” is a collection of songs featuring Micah’s sensitive, introspective songwriting style, showcasing a mix of musical influences from folk to hip hop. Warm, subtle, and full of catchy melodies, “Call It Love” captures the musical dexterity and songwriting talents of a true music devotee.
