Mikayla Shirley: Jazz Musician in New York

About Mikayla Shirley

Mikayla Shirley is a jazz vocalist heard in New York City at Dizzy’s Club, where she has appeared as a special guest with the Yoko Miwa Trio. Her work often sits inside the trio format, responding closely to piano-led arrangements shaped by Miwa’s background in conservatory study and Berklee’s performance tradition. Shirley brings a measured presence to the bandstand and keeps the focus on phrasing and time rather than showmanship. In these collaborations, she functions as both featured soloist and ensemble musician.
