Mikuak Rai (pronounced ma-koo-ah ray)

With a distinctive sound that stands on its own, soul-singer/songwriter Mikuak Rai could not have arrived at a better time. Taking an honest and sincere approach to his writing and musical expression, listeners get to experience the kind of transformation in consciousness and awareness that his unique brand of "other world soul" provides.

Known as an Ambassador of Peace in many circles, Mikuak Rai has managed to incorporate his activism and creative talents together to serve and support those in need around the globe. From the American inner cities of Atlanta and Washington, D.C., to indigenous communities worldwide, he has made it his mission to bridge worlds, raise awareness and bring solace and encouragement to the human family during these times of tremendous change.

Mikuak Rai's debut album “SimpleTruth” takes listeners along a journey of self-reflection and cosmic consciousness, which sets this refreshing new artist apart from all the rest. Often compared to the likes of Gil-Scott Heron, Seal and Kem to name a few, his sound and style has been deemed 'high-resonance music', intended to help transform hearts and minds of those who hear it.

With all the buzz, positive feedback, and stories of change that has occurred in the lives of those who have already experienced this album and his dynamic, live performances, it is quite evident that Mikuak Rai will be creating music that is sure to alter the face and course of the music industry, as well as our collective consciousness, for years to come.

Fantastic, Spiritual - a soundtrack to the life of a wisdom seeker!!
author: Jujumama
I love this CD. I bought ten copies and gave them as heartfelt Christmas gifts. My husband and I listen to this music and have learned all of the words.

I found the cd to be soulful, spiritual, and a keeper!
author: c. giles
I listened to the cd for the first time on my way home from work and I immediately loved it. Tracks 1,3,4 & 9 were especially "deep" and I have already shared it with a friend. The songs have a message which I think anyone can relate to.

Mikuak Rai delivers musical honesty and integrity
author: KUKU
Ever so common, the message of a song get lost in production and arrangement of the music around it. It’s true what they say, “the truth is bitter”, and even more in modern day music, sugar coated. On the “Simple Truth” Mikuak Rai delivers musical honesty and integrity that’s long been missing. With lush piano playing and a soulful voice reminiscent of Gil-Scott Heron and more recent Amos Lee the truth just got sweater!

smooth!
author: Mysha Caruso , songwriter/performing artist
an intimate album with the roots of a dynamic Jazz piano performance and the medicinal flowers of Mikuak Rai's smooth voice declares messages of hope for our spirits under the branches of a potent, yet contemplative, momentum. Simple Truth delivers a steadfast tree to find a cool, shady refuge from the heat of the day. Sit back and chill out with the honest sensabilities of Simple Truth.
