Experienced guitarist Mika Jaxx, known for his solo career and for currently joining the band Area 55, presents his new single, “I am Myself”. The instrumental track, marked by an exciting energy and energetic drums, promises to captivate those who enjoy instrumental music. The production of “I am Myself” was an international collaboration. Jaxx recorded based in Los Angeles and envy for São Paulo, where drummer Lexxi Souza (Inluzt) added his skills in the Purosom studio, with editing being handled by Adriano Daga (Malta). For the bass part, Gui Bodi, also a member of Area 55, contributed his talent, adding a tasteful touch to Mika’s creation. The final mix was handled by the experienced Brendan Duffey, who has collaborated with the guitarist on several occasions.

One of the main challenges faced by Mika Jaxx was balancing the fragmented melody in the middle of time, creating engaging themes, while presenting fast solos without losing the essence of his creation. The guitarist was worth the importance of developing his own musical language, leaving aside the excessive influence of his youth idols. For him, every guitarist has something unique to express, and that’s exactly what “I am Myself” represents. “When you’re younger, you always want to follow in the footsteps of your idols, but at some point, you have to leave your idols behind and create your own language. Every guitarist has something to say, and that’s what ‘I am Myself’ is all about. ‘”, explains Jaxx, who seeks to remain one of the main exponents of contemporary instrumental music.
“I am Myself” is now available on streaming platforms. Check it out at JULY 7TH
