Hailing from Mossman in Far North Queensland, Australia Mikhail Laxton now calls Canada’s Capital city Ottawa home. After launching his career at home in Australia, including putting out 2 Independent EP’s and an appearance on The Voice, Mikhail followed his eventual wife to Canada and has spent the last couple of years writing and performing at various venues after recording the music for the EP “Real” in Morin Heights, Quebec – a site purposely chosen as its beauty and ambiance brought back memories of his beloved Mossman as inspiration. The EP was produced by Maia Davies (Maia, Ladies of the Canyon) and features co-writes with both Maia and renowned Producer/Songwriter Gavin Brown. Deriving influence from a multitude of his musical loves (Soul, Country and Blues to name a few), Mikhail Laxton’s music has been described as Soul Outlaw – we kind of like that reference! Cheater is the second track to be released from the EP Real, coming in 2021.
