Maika(舞歌) is a singer/songwriter from Tokyo Japan. She began singing, dancing, and playing the piano at the age of three. Her early life was spent traveling the world and living in Japan, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania. From her experiences, she developed a special connection with nature and an aspiration to support people whenever she could. While traveling, she learned that the magic of life is in our daily experiences and finding the joy that surrounds us. This became her primary message. It inspired a dream to live enthusiastically in every moment and respect all cultures and lives. She realized this dream by building a schoolhouse in Cambodia and volunteering whenever she could. To share her message to a wider audience Maika worked as a model, actress, teacher, master of ceremonies, and a reporter for NHK in Japan. While working, Maika felt that her message could be more effectively spread through the music she was attracted to all of her life. From childhood, it was natural for Maika to emote her feelings using poetry and melody. She began songwriting at the age of eight and has now composed over 60 original works. Her shows encompass her message of living enthusiastically and hope to inspire the audience to live their dream, have deeper connections, and find the real happiness hiding in their daily lives. In 2016, Maika moved to New York City to follow her dream of performing as a singer/songwriter and spreading her message of happiness. She now works out of Tokyo and Manhattan and enjoys a busy singing career all around the world.
