Mykeljon The World Stood Still, helps mark a milestone in an awaited long journey that has
spanned years and continents. What’s remained consistent along the way
though has been Mykeljon’s passion and dedication. These traits have
kept him going through the beginning of his musical education, to the
completion of the recording of his first album. But it was Mykeljon’s
godmother who helped fuel that passion, inspire that dedication, and
nurture the talents he displayed from a very young age. Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Mykeljon found his way to music and the
guitar at only four years old. His natural aptitude for performing
brought him the honour of playing for Queen Elizabeth II when he was
eleven. Even with this, music was not the career path that Mykeljon was
set to follow. Years later, as a university student, he released a
demo tape that got a surprising amount of airplay on local radio
stations. It was then that he made the very bold move of quitting his
current studies and throwing himself head first into a future in music.
