Early Life
Michaela Cook began her media career as a childhood commercial model. Starring in commercials for Mattel toys and leading runway fashion shows, Michaela has never been shy of the camera. She grew up in Brisbane, Australia after her family relocated from South Africa. Michaela cites her first "live performance" from singing nursery rhymes on junior school assemblies – since – singing and song-writing has been her passion.
While studying a Bachelor of Communications from the University of Queensland, in 2014 Michaela began recording and releasing her original material under the stage name, Micks.

When releasing her first single, Time To Grow, Micks was selected to feature as part of a Compilation Album on Amazon Music. Since, her loyal following began to grow internationally, which was the basis for her 160,000 social media following.
After Amazon's success, Micks wrote and featured on a European Dance Track, which charted in the Top 100 on Beatport.
In 2017, Micks notably released a song with Tourism and Events Queensland as a campaign to use Micks' largely international based following to re-open the Cyclone effected Whitsundays Region. The video achieved enormous success, further allowing Micks to appear, host and perform on popular national broadcast network TV shows such as, The Great Day Out, Toasted TV and CMC Country Music Channel.
