Micaela Rachel Levi (born February 1987), known professionally as Mica Levi[pronunciation?] or by their stage name Micachu, is an English musician, composer, producer, singer and song-writer.
Having been classically trained, Levi came to prominence as the lead singer and guitarist for the experimental pop band Good Sad Happy Bad (formerly known as Micachu and the Shapes from 2008 to 2016). The band's debut album, Jewellery (2009), was critically praised and they since released several other studio albums. Levi is also known for their solo projects and frequent collaborations with Kwes or Tirzah.
In the early 2010s, Levi made their debut as a film composer, creating the widely praised score for Jonathan Glazer's film Under the Skin (2013).[1][2][3] Levi received a European Film Award for Best Composer and a BAFTA Award for Best Film Music nomination, and won multiple other awards for this first movie composition. Levi then collaborated again with Glazer on his next film, the acclaimed The Zone of Interest (2023) (for which they won the Soundtrack Award at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival), and two short films. In 2017, Levi received their first Academy Awards nomination for Pablo Larraín's Jackie (2016). They also worked with director Steve McQueen on his Small Axe anthology film series.
