Mikhail Cazi

Mikhail Cazi is a singer, instrumentalist and producer from Bombay. Known for groovy basslines, silky vocals and expansive range - his music reflects his love for funk melodies and experimental chord patterns. Mikhail's live performances range from delicately acoustic (à la Hozier) to live-looped and intricately layered (think Tash Sultana). Lyrically, his music deals with queer themes - like self-expression, freedom and the idea of the “chosen” family.

Mikhail's 2020 "tongue-in-cheek anthem" Heartbreak in the Breakroom received widespread acclaim and was featured on the Office Ladies podcast, racking up almost 200,000 views on their Instagram so far.

You might have seen Mikhail at Gaysi's Prom Night, 2022. Or headlining The Picnic Project, 2020. Or opening for Ankur Tewari at the 2018 Times Litfest. Or maybe at The Habitat, Bandcamp or Beatmap.
