Child Prodigy


















Mica Levi AKA Micachu is a 21-year old musician from the UK. She spazzily plays a tiny guitar and has an endearing cockney deadpan. Although she was classically trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, she often uses unconventional instruments which are customized/homemade. She is also a well-known DJ in the London grime scene, and was commissioned to compose an orchestral piece for the London Philharmonic at the mere age of 20.

With her band Micachu & the Shapes, she recently released her debut album Jewellry on Rough Trade Records. She is playing tonight and tomorrow in NYC (March 24: Death by Audio and the 25th: Pianos), if you are around, you should really go!

PS. Thanks Liam!
