Summer’s here but singing sisters Mikaela and Yorika won’t be around for much of it as they head to the US for an intensive tuition programme.
The two girls left an indelible impression on the judges during the recent Vodafone Upcoming Artist competition, with Mikaela emerging as the outright winner and Yorika, who was her backing vocalist in the competition, also drawing a significant amount of attention.
More recently, following various auditions, the girls were accepted at the world-renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where they will be attending an intensive programme as well as giving some live performances and writing new music.
Fully charged and understandably excited at the prospect that lies ahead of them, Mikaela and Yorika will joined by Jimmy, John and Anthony for a ‘farewell’ gig at Rookies on Thursday night. Doors open at 9pm.
