The 23-year-old was a boy soprano, boasting a five-octave range at the age of 15, and wowed critics in a performance of THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS at the Royal Opera House.
Mika - real name MICHAEL PENNIMAN - insists his early exposure to the singing world helped prepare for pop success.
He says, "It opened my eyes to a world where people work all day long, for weeks, to create an illusion.
"Most people's jobs are rooted in reality. But I always wanted to do pop musical. It was just a question of getting there my way."
