==Childhood==
Newton found her own voice as a child growing up in the town of Burshtyn, in the western part of Ukraine. Mika taught herself to sing at an early age by imitating famous artists she heard on the radio. She began begging her mother to invite friends over so she could have an audience to perform in front of. “"I didn't know if I wanted to be a singer, but I knew I loved performing," says Mika. By age nine, she was entering regional voice competitions. This gave Mika her first taste of a real stage – and she wanted more. "I’m so honest on stage,” she says. “It's when I'm my true self. I think the more honest you are, the more people will connect with you, and that's when you can really make an impact.”
It wasn’t until she saw a video of Michael Jackson performing his international sensation, Earth Song that Mika decided to pursue her dream. “I didn't know who he was or where he was from, but the passion in his performance was inspiring," she says. Mika quickly enrolled in performing arts school where she studied voice, piano, acting, dance and pantomime. She continued to compete in both local and international talent competitions, taking first place in nearly every one of them. At the age of 16, Mika moved from her hometown of Burshtyn to Kiev, where she studied out of the Vocal Department at the College of Circus and Variety Arts. While attending a performing arts school as a teenager (where she studied voice, piano, acting, dance, and pantomime), she continued to compete in local and international talent contests, taking first place at nearly all of them, which led to attention from music industry players, at the age of 16 she got signed with the record label Falyosa Family Factory. Her first name, Mika, is a derivative from Mick Jagger's first name and Newton stands for a new tone. Besides making her way up in vocal career, Mika Newton is pursuing acting. She has already starred in two films – "Life By Surprise" and "Money For Daughter" where she played a supporting role and a lead role respectively.
