Mikayla Geier (born June 10, 1999) is a Canadian alt-pop [1] singer-songwriter best known for her singles "i don't feel safe in my body," "Paris," and "piano in the sky."
Mikayla Geier was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, on June 10, 1999. She studied ballet at the Kirov Academy of Ballet in Washington, D.C., but ultimately decided not to pursue a career in ballet, citing the intense demands on her body and her struggle with anorexia nervosa. [2] She later attended Indiana University Bloomington, studying entrepreneurship and corporate innovation at the Kelley School of Business and ballet at the Jacobs School of Music. [3] She released her first extended play bloomington on November 8, 2019, while still attending university.
Geier relocated to Los Angeles in 2022 and released her debut album here we go again... on August 23, 2024. The album included the singles "here we go again...," "Paris," "dance of the trees," and "i don't feel safe in my body," the last two of which were produced by Joe Janiak. [4] The single "i don't feel safe in my body" was written as a meditation on her experiences as a professional ballet dancer and her struggle with anorexia. [2]
Her latest single "piano in the sky" was released on June 17, 2025, which David Sosa of Grimy Goods described as "a short and sweet jam for her growing catalog." [5]
