MICAH | Pop // Tipperary // She/Her
Tipperary-born artist MICAH (also known as Miriam Carley) is fast emerging as one of Ireland’s most compelling alt-emo/pop voices, blending emotional precision with dark, punchy production and a commanding live presence.

Vocally, MICAH moves between the emotional directness of Fletcher, the hushed tension of early Billie Eilish, and the cinematic lift and control associated with Olivia Rodrigo and Loreen — shifting seamlessly from intimate, confessional moments to explosive, cathartic choruses. This dynamic range underpins a sound that feels both deeply personal and stage-ready.

Named Hot for 2025 by Hot Press Magazine, MICAH has continued to build strong momentum through consistent national radio support. Singles from her forthcoming debut album Lessons Learned — including “X’s” and “Friend But Foe” — were both named RTÉ 2FM Track of the Week, while “Cry” and “Seat Filler” have also secured strong radio play and streaming traction.

Her music has received continued support across Today FM, Spin 1038, Beat 102103 and Amazing Radio, alongside coverage from Hot Press, GoldenPlec, Ones To Watch and The Other Side Reviews. Her streaming audience is also expanding internationally, with growing traction across North and South America, highlighting increasing global reach.

Critically, her work has been met with strong praise. The Other Side Reviews noted:
“With the promise of this record and singles already sitting in her catalogue, I find myself eager to hear more and willing to sit back and enjoy the singles available.”
Respected journalist Stuart Clark has also championed her work, further cementing her position within the Irish music landscape.

In 2024–2025, MICAH was shortlisted to support Grammy winner Cian Ducrot for a secret headline show. She has since delivered sold-out headline performances, including Whelan’s, Dublin, alongside festival appearances at Love Stock and DL Summer Fest, as well as UK shows throughout 2025.

Her debut EP Villain has amassed over 85K Spotify streams, contributing to more than 260K streams to date. Now building toward her debut album Lessons Learned (Autumn 2026), MICAH continues to refine a sound that balances emotional depth with sharp, modern alt-pop production.

With consistent radio backing, critical acclaim, growing international streams, and a debut album campaign underway, MICAH is positioning herself as a standout Irish alt-emo/pop act ready for wider stages and global reach.
