Mikey A is a musician / composer from Finland. He has played piano since I was four years old. During 2004-2010 he studied at the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences, Degree Programme in Music and graduated in 2010 with excellent grades. A few months after that he also finished his specialization studies there. During his study years he started to perform solo and also as a collaborative pianist. During 2005-2008 he held a few chamber music concerts with violinist Sakari Tervo, and in October 2007 he and the Finnish soprano Marjukka Tepponen participated at the national series of the Pentti Koskimies Lied Competition in Kokkola, Finland and won the 2nd prize.

In addition to playing piano, he has also arranged and composed music. In the summer of 2006 he started to compose some music with some influences from classical music and movie soundtracks. His main influences in that genre have been Vangelis, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and other contemporary film composers. During 2007-2010 he didn’t have so much time to concentrate on composing his own music, but everything has calmed down and he’s planning to compose more. Read more on Last.fm.
