Kyle Mischiek

In 2012, Kyle Mischiek was a fun-loving 16 year-old who entered a local Sydney, Cape Breton talent contest as a lark. Today, Kyle has two studio EPs to his credit, is a confident live performer, he has collaborated with such stellar songwriters as Gordie Sampson, Steven MacDougall, and Mo Kenney, and has over 200,000 views on YouTube. No mean feat considering when he entered that contest, he did not play an instrument, had never written a song, and had never stepped foot on a stage.

Kyle finished his last year of school in 2013, taking audio recording production, film, and video, and graduated with a certificate in radio television broadcasting. But, it was music that consumed his every waking moment. Kyle was performing at any opportunity, and honing his stage skills, gaining confidence with every show.

With the help of his savings, which he earned from live shows, along with a music business grant and a local investor, Kyle began to work on his first recording. The most recent, Fallin’ In Deep, is a 7-song EP that offers a glimpse into where Kyle’s talent may take him.

Fallin' In Deep is a blend of hard-hitting modern EDM tracks, 90’s R&B influenced slow jams, and some light pop-rap. Released independently in July 2013, the EP was produced by ECMA award-winner Jamie Foulds at Soundpark Studios in Sydney, Cape Breton and features co-writes with Dylan Guthro and Breagh Mackinnon, along with some high-energy club beats by Halifax artist Matty Boh.

Each of the first two singles (“Somethin’ Bout Summertime” and “You”) hit number one on the East Coast Countdown, helping Kyle attract a broader audience. Kyle’s music has resonated primarily with an audience of teenage girls ages 12-17, who have idolized him and shown incredible acts of fandom – from dubbing themselves “The Mischicks”, to following him around the province to attend shows – proving that Kyle’s charisma and personality can turn listeners into “super-fans”.

Kyle Mischiek may be just beginning to explore his future in music but one thing is for certain, it is a future destined for success.
