Mike Kota is a Minnesotan indie singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer. Holding a mirror through music, her thoughtful lyrics and soulful melodies bring about introspection, healing, and empowerment. Taking influence from King Krule to Bon Iver to bossanova, Kota’s guitar is rooted in jazz voicings and indie-rock progressions, without conforming neatly to a genre. Her songs breathe an unfolding story in which her distinctive voice delivers a raw and powerful performance.
