California has long been home for some of the finest talent in music. Continuing this tradition is L.A.'s own Myka 9 (Michael Troy) the founding member of legendary group Freestyle Fellowship.

Myka champions his often-imitated, never-duplicated lyrical style around the world. Myka's contribution to the musical environment has saved lives by encouraging people around the world to "Freestyle" inspiring television and film subject matter. Myka has achieved BET/MTV video rotation, major publication exposure including Spin, Vibe, and Source magazines as well as the L.A. Times. Myka has good rapport with major radio personalities like Big Boi at Power 106FM, Eric Kobichi at 100.3FM The Beat, and Garth Trinidad at 89.9FM.

Myka has a great stage presence and has performed with under-current and main-stream artists/venues. Myka amazes audiences from headlining shows in L.A.'s El Rey Theatre, San Francisco's Marytime Hall for 2,500 hip-hop heads, sold out sets in L.A.'s Wiltern Theatre (Jurassic Five with Talib Kweli), 20,000 Freestyle enthusiasts attending the annual Cypress Hill Smoke Out. Myka appears by the request of Macy Gray at L.A.'s House of Blues, Wyclef Jean and Eryka Badu acknowledgement at the Hollywood Bowl, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Outkast, Goodie Mob, D'angelo, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def...

Myka's musical approach is a challenge to market and promote as one artist, meanwhile making dollars and sense for Myka's fellow artisans and their respected investors! Myka creates progressive urban tracks for the songs he raps, and sings his mood swings...
