special guest Mikayla Shirley: Jazz Musician in New York

About special guest Mikayla Shirley

Special guest Mikayla Shirley is a jazz vocalist heard in New York City rooms including Dizzy’s Club, where she has appeared with the Yoko Miwa Trio. Her work is often framed in collaboration, trading lines closely with piano-led ensembles such as Miwa’s group. In performance, she keeps the focus on lyric shape and time, letting phrasing carry the drama rather than stage display. She moves between bandstand tradition and a more contemporary listening audience, reflected in her emerging online profile.
