Who Is…

Ian Mykel

Hi. I write music in a wide range of styles. Some are simple parlor tunes for piano, others are adventurous approaches to rock, jazz, blues. Maybe there’s a little country thrown in. It’s Americana.

I have played a variety of instruments with different groups and different genre: Folk, Punk, Noise, Carnival, Rock, Bluegrass, and Jam / Rave. Beyond playing out, I’ve spent many years as a stay-at-home dad. When I wasn’t with the 2 kids (now older) or picking up the house, I would slip into the home studio to write, record, and improve my skills.

Starting in my teens, I learned and performed with a number of instruments, recorded on various media types over the years. These days I stick to the guitar, bass, drums, and piano, each in my own untrained way. Recordings are done using real instruments, unless encouraged otherwise by style or practicality.

You can listen at https://ianmykel.bandcamp.com, look Ian Mykel up on streaming services, and look for my first vinyl first Album, What About Validation to be out end of Summer 2024.

Thanks for visiting.
