Self-taught virtuoso Mika has a four-octave vocal range that comes in handy when delivering his brand of ambitious and artfully crafted pop music. He reminds critics of Beck and Prince, while Mika himself compares his sound to that of classic songsmiths such as Elton John and Harry Nilsson. Debut single "Grace Kelly" hit No. 1 in his native England in late 2006.
