Born and raised in Hawaii, singer-songwriter Mikah said every day felt like he was in paradise. “The beach is right there, the weather is almost always perfect, you see rainbows nearly every day and you drive home after school with the most beautiful sunset in front of you,” said Mikah, 26, who currently lives in Shanghai. “Being a kid in Hawaii is like having a huge playground you can explore endlessly. I used to hike to watch the sunrise, surf, bodysurf, dive, bike around the island, skateboard … the list just goes on. I always think back to my childhood and reminisce about how beautiful it was.”
