Mikha Tambayong
Model, actress and singer Mikha Tambayong started her career in the entertainment industry when she was 13 years old. “I studied piano since four years old, practically grew up with it, and I looked up to my uncle (singer Harvey Malaiholo) for inspiration,” she says.
“I wanted to sing, but my mom signed me up for a modelling competition. I did well, and that led to the acting world. At first, I didn’t want to act, but it turned out that I could pursue my dream to be a singer as well as be an actress.”
Just turned 24, Mikha has a new movie out, a comedy called Belok Kanan Barcelona, and she has also released a new single with Rizky Febian: “Berpisah itu Mudah”. “I’ve done a lot of movies recently and the focus has gone away from the music. Now I’m catching up on it,” she says.
The holder of a Bachelor’s degree in Law from Pelita Harapan University, Mikha adds: “In the next few months, I shall be a speaker at a couple of conferences, one on women’s equality and another on foreign policy.”
