    A fantastic new rework of Mika’s huge hit single ‘Celebrate’ (feat. Pharrell Williams) is out today!
    The very talented Ryan Riback has rediscovered the track and worked his magic on it. You might have heard it in the new Pilot pens commercial, they have chosen to use it across their 100 years of Pilot global TV campaign!
    Speaking about the track, Ryan says:
    ‘When I got the call to work on a record by Mika and Pharrell I immediately jumped at the opportunity! “Celebrate” was already an amazing record but it was fun to take that record and put my own twist on it. Given the lyrics and vocal melody are so uplifting, I decided to keep it happy and fun, and just add some fresh sounds :)’
    Now you can download the track too, it’s available worldwide here.

    Mika x Pilot

    By dcdeb,

    To celebrate 100 years of leading the way in creative penmanship, Pilot has launched a special centenary campaign in collaboration with Mika! The brand wanted to showcase their dedication to passion and innovation and who better to front it than someone known for the same qualities in his own career. The ‘Mika Limited Edition’ collection pens are inspired by Mika’s incredible career to date and showcase creativity and imagination with intricate designs and vibrant colour. Made with his sister Yasmine, Mika’s collaboration with Pilot is a true expressions of his unique creativity and positive force.
    The range includes a total of 24 pens, covering the iconic G-2, V5 and FriXion Ball lines. Each colour has a unique design and they are available in a variety of sets of singularly across Europe.
    In Mika’s own words, “It’s a pleasure to celebrate Pilot’s 100th anniversary together with you and to create a special project for this birthday. Pilot has been part of my life, I grew up with these pens, I grew up stealing my father’s V5, stealing my mother’s (V7) and learning how to write properly with these pens and also learning how to draw. So using these same pens that we now have in our design studio today, we’ve created another world and our versions of Pilot pens for this birthday. It’s an honour, we’re very happy to be doing it, I am so happy to be actually drawing these things that are going to be part of something so iconic.”
    To celebrate, we have teamed up with MFC and throughout 2018 we’ll be giving fans around the world the chance to win limited edition, money-cant-buy boxsets of all 24 pens. Keep an eye on the Facebook page and make sure you’re signed up to the mailing list!

    Earlier today, Mika was honoured with a special ceremony where he was awarded the keys to the City of Florence by the mayor, Dario Nardella. The tradition is reserved for esteemed visitors, residents or notable others who the city wishes to honour, naming them honorary citizens of the city. It was a wonderful experience for Mika and a big honour to be recognised in such a way by a city he holds so close to his heart.
    The ceremony itself was held in the stunning Sala Leone X frescoed room at the town hall,  the historic Palazzo Vecchio. Mika later visited Galleria degli Uffizi with the director of the world famous museum and saw amazing works of art like Botticelli’s ‘Primavera.’
    You can watch a clip about the ceremony here.

    Last night in Milan, UNHCR held their third Charity Gala Event, aimed at raising funds for the Educate a Child Project and raising awareness on the refugee cause. Guests were invited into an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ themed evening that carefully and emotionally educated about the plights of refugee children and UNHCR’s important work to combat this crisis.
    As you may know, Mika has been an avid supporter of UNHCR and their incredible work, so it was fitting that he made a special appearance at the event to talk about his involvement with the charity and his trip with them to Lebanon. It is hoped that the funding raised from the event will allow thousands of refugee children to return to education and therefore hope for a better future. Here are some of the photos from the event.

    Soundtrack of Empathy

    By dcdeb,

    Mika has collaborated with recruitment giants Indeed to launch a new project titled ‘Soundtrack of Empathy’ to shine a light on the importance equality and empathy to the workplace. LBGTQIA+ people face unique challenges in the workplace that can hinder their ability to bring their authentic selves to work. The project uses music as a way to share your identity and tell your story. It is hoped that the creation of Soundtracks of Empathy will foster belonging, unity and understanding as we face unique hardships in our daily lives based on our individual background and intersectional identities.
    Get involved by creating a new playlist that you feel represents your authentic identity and story and puts words to the feelings you want others to hear. Share your playlist by using the hashtag #SoundtrackOfEmpathy and tag Indeed and Mika on your favourite social channels.
    As part of Soundtrack of Empathy, Mika also shared playlists with Indeed’s SVP of Human Resources, Paul Wolfe and they spoke about using music as a tool to the workplace. In addition, MIKA also lead LGBTQIA+ artists in a virtual roundtable discussion about their career journeys and how music can inspire empathy and create community within the workplace and beyond.
    Finally, on June 24th, Indeed and MIKA presented Soundtrack of Empathy, a Pride celebration benefiting Born This Way Foundation. Watch the full concert here!
