Hi! My name is Miki Rae and I’m a singer-songwriter local to the Lake Tahoe area. I’m also in an island reggae inspired band called Miki Rae & The Hooligans. We are all very passionate musicians who love and cherish our craft, and we love to bring the happy, good vibe, sunshine reggae music everywhere we go! Our music and vibe consists of dreamy psychedelic guitar riffs, strong reggae rhythms and beats, sunny ukulele notes, and heart felt, feel good lyrics.

I first started playing music when I was in the fourth grade with my first guitar. I picked up the ukulele in 2017 and it’s been my favorite instrument to play ever since! I’ve specifically been loving to jam my electric ukulele as of late. My songwriting inspirations come to me in waves, and when I get an idea, I have to instantly write down my thoughts and let it flow- I believe the best songs are evoked from pure and honest emotions, and that cannot be forced.

Most of my songs are influenced from nature and the weather- like the rain, wind, water, and sunshine- and also the people around me and the interactions I encounter in my daily life. My goal is to spread positive messages and relate to others through my music, and to let the listeners know that they are not alone in this world.
