About Mikhaila Smith
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember stepping out of a movie theatre as a child, completely moved by the score, and my first thought was that I wanted to be the person to make people feel the way I was feeling. That was the very moment I knew I wanted to be a composer.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Berliner Philharmoniker, Elizabeth Harwood, Gianni Maffeo, Herbert von Karajan, Luciano Pavarotti, Mirella Freni, Nicolai Ghiaurov, Rolando Panerai, Puccini: La Bohème 2 CDs David Raksin, Philharmonia Orchestra, Classic Film Scores: Laura / Forever Amber / The Bad and the Beautiful Gustavo Dudamel, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Yuja Wang, Rachmaninoff: The Piano Concertos & Paganini Rhapsody These albums encapsulate everything I love about music: storytelling, sweeping romantic lines and a bold expression of harmony. These works have been my most profound influences for as long as I can remember.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “New York City” A portrait of New York City through a romantic lens, this piece captures the poetry of the city I love. This melody came to me as I was walking to the Met on a rainy Sunday. It's become a love letter to my life here.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Recording my debut piano album in London was one of the most beautiful times I've had in my career thus far. There was nothing quite like bringing my music to life in that way, knowing it will be shared with the world for the very first time.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would very much love to perform in Carnegie Hall and at the Met. My big dream is to win the Oscar for Best Original Score at the Academy Awards one day and receive a GRAMMY for one of my solo records!
