Brett Mikels
Born in Germany, run amok as a military brat until landing in Los Angeles in the early ‘80s, he and his family spent little more than a year in each town until he was in his teens. Grateful for the opportunity to see many different places, meet people from hugely different walks of life, he was reared in diversity.
As a songwriter, he reflects on much of what he has absorbed from those he has come into contact with, and is hoping to share some of the things passed down to him and through him. “It seems you can never learn enough, see enough, or experience enough in one lifetime. Perhaps the most important thing is just to pay attention along the way.”
Often described as introspective and revealing, Brett’s music echoes early influences like The Eagles, Joni Mitchell, and John Denver, as well as contemporary influences like John Mayer, Seal, and Sarah McLachlan. Woven subtly throughout is his love of Soul, R&B, and Rock-N-Roll, creating a sophisticated and beautiful blend of many genres.
