Shortly about Mikah

Mikah Maquá stands out for her sharp songwriting, turning vulnerability, irony and neurodivergent self-awareness into catchy, emotionally direct indie-pop. A two-time finalist of the European Music Contest in the singer-songwriter category (2018 and 2021), she was also selected for the Hedon Beurs 2025 development trajectory. In 2026 she released her debut EP people pleaser with support from Music Support Overijssel, confirming her as a rising voice with both personality and momentum.

Style

Confessional indie-pop with the nerve of alt-rock and the bounce of spring-loaded guitars. Retro-leaning keys and sharp backbeats keep the songs moving between irony, tension, and release. The band DNA is intimate but not soft: melodic, emotionally direct, and built for dynamic live lift.


Profile

Mikah Maquá sits where diaristic indie-pop meets wiry alternative rock. The center of gravity is a voice-first songwriting identity shaped by confession, irony, and emotional overshare, then pushed outward by a rhythm section that favors momentum over polish and by guitar work with a rougher art-rock edge. Fay Arapatsani brings physicality and dark-toned dynamic contrast from an art-pop and heavy-alt background; Federica Fornaro widens the harmonic field with psych, prog, and jazz-adjacent color, adding grain, tension, and movement rather than decorative texture. With keys functioning as both glue and counterpoint, the project lands in a sweet spot between catchy hooks and nervous energy: retro synth flashes, springy riffs, abrupt emotional pivots, and a live interplay that turns vulnerability into impact.


Details

Mikah Maquá
Dutch-Canadian singer-songwriter Maaike Girardin fronts the project with a writing voice built on self-exposure, humor, and emotional contradiction. Public profiles consistently frame the material around neurodivergence, people-pleasing, awkward love stories, and revenge-fantasy wit, but the songs stay hook-led rather than purely confessional. Production and release history point to a collaborative studio axis with Lennert Klaui, giving the project a polished but still elastic alt-pop frame. Live, the material is built to scale from intimate confession to sharp collective lift.

“Her relatable yet catchy pop songs let vulnerability collide with brutality.” (Hedon Zwolle event text, 2026-01-22)

Fay Arapatsani
Athens-born and based in Utrecht, Fay Arapatsani brings a drummer-songwriter sensibility that favors weight, contour, and dramatic pacing. Her public bio maps a path from early piano study into drums, composition, and darker art-pop writing, with threads of ethnic jazz, pop, fusion, and electronics. That background translates well inside Mikah Maquá’s frame: she can support hook-based material while adding urgency, asymmetry, and a harder emotional undercurrent.

“The Greek artist carries the set with her powerful rock voice, which she can take impressively high.” (Rogier van Nierop, 3voor12 Leiden, 2025-12-23)

Federica Fornaro
Federica Fornaro adds the project’s rougher guitar grain. Her documented work with Basiliscus P points to a player comfortable with psych rock, prog structures, 1990s alternative edges, and jazz-adjacent openness, which makes her especially useful in a band that needs songs to move beyond pure singer-songwriter framing. She is less about ornamental lead lines than about shape, texture, and expansion: widening choruses, introducing friction, and giving hooks a more physical body.

“A talented and eclectic Messina band.” (Nadia Cornetti, Off Topic Magazine, 2022-12-21)

SiYu Liu
SiYu Liu is the keys chair in this lineup. In band-DNA terms, the role is important: keys soften transitions, reinforce hooks, and connect the project’s retro-pop sheen to its more nervous rock edge. Public-facing January 2026 band posts identify the keys position as Sharon Liu under the handle @cactusinpoppy, so this profile keeps the role in the lineup while avoiding unverified biographical or discographic claims beyond its ensemble function.


 


Biography

Mikah Maquá is the project of Dutch-Canadian songwriter Maaike Girardin, building songs around awkward honesty, pop immediacy, and emotional whiplash. Public-facing bios and event texts consistently frame the act as a mix of retro synths, springy guitars, and catchy songwriting that turns vulnerability, humor, and instability into hooks built for the stage rather than the diary page.

Style

Riff-first rock trio built for the stage: short-fuse energy, big hooks, no filler. Blues-rock grit with arena-ready choruses, Hendrix-era swagger, and modern punch. A locked rhythm engine under a frontwoman who writes, arranges, and drives the narrative.

Profile

Electric Lady are a lean, high-voltage trio fronted by guitarist–vocalist and songwriter Tereza Rays. Their sound sits where blues-rock muscle meets modern hard-rock immediacy: tight, riff-driven verses that open into melodic choruses built to travel. The band’s DNA is all about articulation and impact—crisp guitar attack, a bass line that stays warm and physical, and drums that hit with straight-ahead authority while leaving space for vocal phrasing.

On record and on stage, Electric Lady move like a single unit: the rhythm section locks into a punchy pocket, while the guitar alternates between dirty groove and bright, singing leads. References to classic rock icons are present in the tone and swagger, but the writing keeps the focus on direct storytelling and cathartic release.

Details

Tereza Rays | Guitar, voice Writer-arranger at the center of the project, shaping songs around riff clarity and vocal urgency. A blues-rock foundation with a modern, radio-ready sense of structure and hook placement. Known for an assertive stage presence where lead lines stay melodic even at full distortion. Recent studio and live work connects her to high-profile UK production and legacy-rock circles. “Vocalist and guitarist Tereza Rays is a tour de force… Her vocals soared and dipped with effortless control.” (Sara Harding, MetalTalk, 2025-09-11)

Cayman | Bass A bassist who prioritizes weight and glue: round low-end, steady drive, and quick dynamic shifts. Brings a band-player mindset—supporting riffs, reinforcing choruses, and tightening transitions. Comfortable in power-trio arrangements where every note has to hold the room. A background in rock projects beyond Electric Lady feeds a grounded, performance-forward feel. “Cayman on bass and Robin Evans on drums match Tereza’s energy and power… share the same undeniable love for creating music.” (Mariam Atef, Rock Era Magazine, 2025-07-13)

Robin Evans | Drums A drummer built for forward motion: firm backbeat, confident accents, and clean, driving fills. Keeps the groove anchored while staying responsive to vocal phrasing and guitar pushes. Balances punch with economy—no excess, just momentum and control. Active across multiple UK rock contexts, bringing a seasoned live sensibility to the trio. “Riffs blasted through this venue, while Evans and Cayman locked into the groove.” (Sara Harding, MetalTalk, 2025-09-11)
