Mikhail Laxton
Events
After capturing the hearts of Kiwi listeners with his soulful new single ‘I Like The Way’, Australian-born, Canadian-based artist Mikhail Laxton is heading to Aotearoa for his debut headline show happening on Friday 3 October at The Tuning Fork in Auckland.
Laxton has been steadily rising in Canada’s Americana and roots scene since relocating from Mossman, Queensland to Ottawa. A proud Aboriginal (Kuku Yalanji) artist, he has built a reputation for his rich, honeyed vocals, heartfelt songwriting, and deeply resonant live performances. His 2023 self-titled debut album drew critical acclaim and positioned him as a powerful new voice in what he calls “outlaw soul” – blending classic Americana with the raw emotion and groove of soul music.
Now, with a new album on the way, Laxton is leaning further into the soul and roots influences that have long shaped his sound. His single ‘I Like The Way’, a tender love song written for his wife, has found unexpected popularity with a New Zealand audience after a short teaser video went viral on TikTok.
