Mika Akim 

Mika Akim explores the intuitive simplicity of songwriting with influences from early music, Nordic and American folk music. Working with free forms and raw, weird and beautifully acoustic sounds, the songs are honest with poetic lyrics, sung in Swedish and English. Playing the unusual instrument viola d’amore as a lead guitar.

The debut album Till Kroppen was released in October 2020, played in Swedish, Danish and American radio and performed live in Sweden and Denmark. Mika Akim has been described as a minimalist Joni Mitchell and a musical sister to Sam Amidon. Together with the musicians Tove Bagge, Ossian Ward, Adam Grauman and the sound engineer Åke Linton, Mika Akim has made a second album that will be released in 2022.
