Mikayla Braun is a dynamic, New Orleans-based, songwriter,

performer, multi-instrumentalist, and community advocate. With

years of captivating performances and recordings under her belt,

Mikayla embodies music for the mind – she’s no stranger to using

music to manage mental health, as well as offer such original

music to others for catharsis and connection. Whether she’s

making the audience swoon at a hotel bar, uplifting spirits on a

festival stage, lending her vocals to her own records or others, or

facilitating her own benefit concerts, Mikayla’s commitment to

community and musical enthusiasm translate across all stages of

life! Mikayla’s latest release Drift is now available on all streaming

platforms as well as in CD & Vinyl format at local New Orleans

record shops.

"Mikayla Braun is the type of singer you hope to hear when stumbling into a bar or lounge in New Orleans [...] the multi-talented artist is a powerhouse. She plays the piano and ukulele to accompany her resounding, classic, and jazzy voice."

-Where Y'at Magazine "Top 10 New Orleans Musicians of 2023"

 

"Daringly beautiful singer/songwriter vibrations"

- GoNOLA

 

"Able to rip the roof off the joint with nothing but a voice and ukulele"

- It's New Orleans Happy Hour
