"I'm a writer at heart," said Micah. "I'm currently focusing on my first creative love - songwriting and singing. My stylings have been compared to artists like Neyo, Carl Thomas, Brian McKnight, and even Ricky Bell from New Edition/BBD fame. But I grew up as an 'I want my MTV' kid, so I loved Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Tears For Fears, Phil Collins, and Queen. I like Coldplay, Nickleback, Kelly Clarkson and a few other Pop stars and my writing style is influenced by all the aforementioned and more. I'm eclectic to say the least and if a song has great lyrics, I don't care what the genre is, I'm going to like it."
