Talented and feisty singer/actress/host and TV personality Mikalah Gordon is taking the entertainment scene by storm. Best known as the youngest contestant ever to make it to the top 11 on "American Idol" at 16 years old, Mikalah endeared herself to Idol fanatics and music moguls alike. During her tenure on the 4th season of "American Idol", Mikalah became known for her sassy demeanor and charismatic personality, as well as her powerful voice. Following her success on "Idol," Mikalah's no-holds-barred approach earned her a co-hosting spot for two seasons of Fox Reality's "American Idol Extra" followed by a request from Tyra Banks to come on board as a field correspondent for two seasons on "The Tyra Banks Show."Continuing to branch out, Mikalah pursued her other first love: acting. She showed off her comedy chops in a recurring role alongside Fran Drescher on the WB sitcom "Living with Fran" and landed other notable appearances including guest spots on the CBS series "The Unit." Mikalah starred in CMT's hit music reality series "Gone Country 2" alongside fellow cast members Sebastian Bach of Skidrow, Jermaine Jackson, Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, Sean Young, Lorenzo Lamas and host John Rich, taking her singing, songwriting and fun-loving personality into the world of country music.Growing up in Las Vegas, one of the entertainment capitals of the world, Mikalah was surrounded by glitz, glamour, and the performing arts and always knew she was headed for Hollywood. She performed at festivals, hotels, and anywhere she had the opportunity to strut her stuff. At the ripe age of 12, the Italian and Russian beauty was asked to travel to Washington D.C. to give a solo performance for President Bill Clinton. After singing for the Commander in Chief and lead roles in all of her high school plays, and being active in her high school cheer team as captain for two years, and playing soccer as a goalie for her high school team, Mikalah kicked things up a notch and decided to take the chance to go pro with her vocals, and show up to the open call audition for American Idol with hundred of other hopefuls. Her instant Idol success brought her to Los Angeles and she hasn't looked back since. Mikalah continues doing live shows and has been working for two years now with her charity, Little Kids Rock. LKR, who has been sponsored by Hard Rock Hotels and Resorts, helps bring music education into all the schools in the United States. This has given her the opportunity to perform with the bands 38 special, Night Ranger, Liberty Devitto who played drums for Billy Joel, Damon Johnson who plays for Alice In Chains, Rob Arthur the pianist for Five for Fighting, and Jim Peterik who is famously known for writing "Eye Of The Tiger".Most recently, Mikalah just finished the US tour with the legendary band Starship, and released her very first rock single "Honey." 2014 also sees Mikalah getting back to her acting roots by starring in an upcoming feature film.
