Mikalah Gordon
- Actress
- Soundtrack
Talented and feisty singer/actress/host and TV personality Mikalah
Gordon is taking the entertainment scene by storm. Best known as the
youngest contestant ever to make it to the top 11 on "American Idol" at
16 years old, Mikalah endeared herself to Idol fanatics and music
moguls alike. During her tenure on the 4th season of "American Idol",
Mikalah became known for her sassy demeanor and charismatic
personality, as well as her powerful voice. Following her success on
"Idol," Mikalah's no-holds-barred approach earned her a co-hosting spot
for two seasons of Fox Reality's "American Idol Extra" followed by a
request from Tyra Banks to come on board as a field correspondent for
two seasons on "The Tyra Banks Show."
Continuing to branch out, Mikalah pursued her other first love: acting.
She showed off her comedy chops in a recurring role alongside Fran
Drescher on the WB sitcom "Living with Fran" and landed other notable
appearances including guest spots on the CBS series "The Unit." Mikalah
starred in CMT's hit music reality series "Gone Country 2" alongside
fellow cast members Sebastian Bach of Skidrow, Jermaine Jackson, Chris
Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, Sean Young, Lorenzo Lamas and host John Rich,
taking her singing, songwriting and fun-loving personality into the
world of country music.
Growing up in Las Vegas, one of the entertainment capitals of the
world, Mikalah was surrounded by glitz, glamour, and the performing
arts and always knew she was headed for Hollywood. She performed at
festivals, hotels, and anywhere she had the opportunity to strut her
stuff. At the ripe age of 12, the Italian and Russian beauty was asked
to travel to Washington D.C. to give a solo performance for President
Bill Clinton. After singing for the Commander in Chief and lead roles
in all of her high school plays, and being active in her high school
cheer team as captain for two years, and playing soccer as a goalie for
her high school team, Mikalah kicked things up a notch and decided to
take the chance to go pro with her vocals, and show up to the open call
audition for American Idol with hundred of other hopefuls. Her instant
Idol success brought her to Los Angeles and she hasn't looked back
since. Mikalah continues doing live shows and has been working for two
years now with her charity, Little Kids Rock. LKR, who has been
sponsored by Hard Rock Hotels and Resorts, helps bring music education
into all the schools in the United States. This has given her the
opportunity to perform with the bands 38 special, Night Ranger, Liberty
Devitto who played drums for Billy Joel, Damon Johnson who plays for
Alice In Chains, Rob Arthur the pianist for Five for Fighting, and Jim
Peterik who is famously known for writing "Eye Of The Tiger".
Most recently, Mikalah just finished the US tour with the legendary
band Starship, and released her very first rock single "Honey." 2014
also sees Mikalah getting back to her acting roots by starring in an
upcoming feature film.
