I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.

I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.

I was always told that I was too strange or that I was too cheesy by different groups of people, like the record companies said I was way too weird and the indie people wouldn't even let me in their band.
Mika
Image
I'm inspired by watching and listening to people. For example, my first novel, The Scale, came to life after I overheard two women discussing their struggle with their weight at the gym.
Mika
Image
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
Mika

Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
Image
I've always said in the press, I can fall in love with a man. I can fall in love with a woman. And I've always said that I have no shame in that.

Image
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
