Mika Wrote Hit Song After Fall Out With Bosses
British pop sensation MIKA wrote distinctive hit single GRACE KELLY after a record company claimed he wasn’t commercial enough.
Music bosses urged the eccentric singer to copy the urban pop style of British star CRAIG DAVID instead, but Mika knew this would be a “complete disaster,” so he went away and wrote current British number one Grace Kelly instead.
He explains, “I wrote Grace Kelly as a little sticky to the music industry a couple of years back. I was working with a big music company in London that wanted to mould me into what they felt would turn me into a commercial success, which was Craig David at the time.
“They told me I needed to make a record more like what everyone expected pop records to be, and be like Craig David. I knew that would lead to complete disaster. So I came back home and I wrote Grace Kelly that night. From that point on, I made a decision to write in the way I wanted to and not how someone else told me to.”
