Mishka
One Tree
Born in Bermuda, Mishka lived with his parents on a sailboat from
the age of three onwards. Lyrically, Mishka's favorite similes are
of the sea - he has a bulging notebook of "ocean songs". In conversation,
he looks back, without evident nostalgia or myth making, on an early
life growing up at sea. While other children were glued to the television
and video games, Mishka was offered endless hours in which to reflect,
to draw, to read and to write. Fast-forwarding to the present you
find a man in his mid twenties whose songs sound like the work of
a young Sam Cook, mixed with shades of Bob Marley and that indefinable
something that heralds a great pop record. Attempting to analyze that
X factor only adds to the mystery. As Mishka reminds us: "People always
check out your influences, but you don't really know what your influences
are. It might be a bird singing while you're walking down the street
or a breeze going past you. That could be what makes you want to write
a song. Life is bigger than just records and stuff." |
