Creator's Challenge: Compose with an App
Write your emotions in a journal; highlight the core ideas, take that to a music app and pair it with a melody OR - download an instrumental app, create a melody around an emotion and see what words come out to create a melody

Bio & Intro
Miky Mik is a power pop rock singer-songwriter and producer based in Los Angeles.
Since picking up her first electric guitar at 14, she's been playing and writing songs.
Mik has developed a modern pop twist on 90s garage band pop punk.
Her lyrics are empowering and aggressive in all the best ways.
She performs regularly as a frontman with her band in LA including recent appearances at the Viper Room and the Whiskey. I really enjoy her recent music video Nuclear Fallout. She has also collaborated with Youngcarebare and Stolen Audio and has several releases from her female pop punk duo Mik & Maxi. Mik is a scientist earning her PhD by day and a powerful pop punk rocker by night!
