SHE IS SUMMER, which got its start back in 2016, is the solo act of MICO. MICO got her start in the music industry in music group Phenotas in 2012. She conceptualized the SHE IS SUMMER project stating that while being in Phenotas was fun, if she wanted to make her mark in the music industry she would have to do it by herself one step at a time.

Although MICO doesn’t do the actual composition of the tracks herself, her vocal range is just impeccable and constantly differs track to track, which goes to show that she is no one-trick pony. While her higher pitch vocals might deter some listeners, it's her versatility in style and genre—along with her vocals—and how she works with composers of said styles and genres that are the keys to how she attracts others. With tracks like “出会ってから付き合うまでのあの感じ” (Deatte kara Tsuki Au made no Ano Kanji”),  “会いに行かなくちゃ” (“Aini Ikanakucha”), and “CALL ME IN YOUR SUMMER”, MICO’s over-energetic pop style can shine in one track while her more strongly vocal R&B fusion style is put on the pedestal in the next.

With several releases under her belt, MICO is looking to make that mark she promised she would many years ago. Currently she has released two EPs in 2016 and 2017, album WATER in 2017, and mini-album hair salon  back in August of last year. While only on the third year of her SHE IS SUMMER solo project, MICO has worked with several up-and-coming artists such as Music Corner’s own SIRUP, along with TENDRE.

We also previously announced that SHE IS SUMMER will be releasing a new EP, “MIRACLE FOOD”, which you can pre-order here.
