About Mika
The Mika Hary Group embraces the genres of folk, rock and jazz with a touch of the Middle Eastern unique colors, in which Mika has been immersed growing up in Israel. Together with the acclaimed musicians in her band, she explores song-form infused with musical freedom, through improvisation alongside lyrical melodies.

All of these elements create the unique and modern sound of her band. A part of the sizzling Israeli jazz scene in NY (as well as in Tel Aviv), Mika has received profound recognition among musicians, culminating in her feature on the last album of the acclaimed musician and drummer Ziv Ravitz Images from home, to be released on the international label of ENJA, alongside world renowned musicians Omer Klein and Avishai Cohen (trumpet).

Ziv is also a regular member in her band, together with some of the most promising up and coming musicians of the New York scene. Mika has worked and played with diverse musicians such as Nir Felder, Marcus Gilmore, Ari Hoenig, Ferenc Nemeth, Shai Maestro, Sam Minaie, Jeff Miles, Haggai Cohen-Milo, Gilad Hekselman, Michael Valeanu, Garth Stevenson, Eden Ladin, Aviv Cohen, and more. Her group can be found regularly performing at NYC's famous music venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, Cafe Vivaldi, Rose Live Music and more. Mika is available for booking at mika.hary@gmail.com
