JBTV Music Television welcomed Mikky Ekko to the stage to perform his distinctive blend of alternative indie pop. Mikky Ekko set the tone of the show with the passionate and deep track “Watch Me Rise.” Energy quickly picked up with the tune “Riot,” featuring loud, clashing drums. Next came “Time,” a delicate acoustic song, followed by the soothing dance pop vibe of “Love You Crazy.” He concluded the set with “Smile"--an uplifting crowd pleaser.

Originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, Mikko Ekko has been writing catchy pop songs since his career kicked off in 2008. His first EP Strange Fruit released in 2009, while follow-up EP’s Reds and Blues released a year later. The track “Who Are You, Really?” was played during the closing credits of HBO’s sixth season premier of “True Blood.” In 2012 he was featured on the Rihanna track “Stay,” which ranked number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His greatly anticipated debut LP Time came out on January 16, 2015, featuring "Watch Me Rise" as the first of twelve tracks.

Lyrics:

When it's cold out, when the night is still
And you're standing alone
I'll be racing when the lights go out
And you're losing control
Higher, higher, higher we go
Tell me, tell me we're close enough to touch the Sun, the Sun
Higher, higher, higher we go
Tell me, tell me the journey's only just begun, begun

I-I-I-I'm still standing, I-I-I-I'm still climbing
Even when the rest are falling, the rest are falling
The rest are falling
I-I-I-I'm still standing, I-I-I-I'm still climbing
Even when the best are falling, the best are falling
The best are falling
You say, say my name
Cause once I get my head above the clouds
I'm never coming down
Say, say my name
Cause once I get my head above the cloudy skies
Watch me rise
Watch me rise

Now paranoia's setting in and I'm falling from these stars again
While every part of me screams, "hold on"
Cause if you can't learn to bend then you break
Oh my God, how long does it take?
Every lesson we learned took so long
But it made us strong

I-I-I-I'm still standing, I-I-I-I'm still climbing
Even when the rest are falling, the rest are falling
The rest are falling
I-I-I-I'm still standing, I-I-I-I'm still climbing
Even when the best are falling, the best are falling
The best are falling
You say, say my name
Cause once I get my head above the clouds
I'm never coming down
Say, say my name
Cause once I get my head above the cloudy skies
Watch me rise
Watch me rise

Higher, higher, higher we go
Right into the fire we go

I-I-I-I'm still standing, I-I-I-I'm still climbing
Even when the rest are falling, the rest are falling
The rest are falling
I-I-I-I'm still standing, I-I-I-I'm still climbing
Even when the best are falling, the best are falling
The best are falling
You say, say my name
Cause once I get my head above the clouds
I'm never coming down
Say, say my name
Cause once I get my head above the cloudy skies
Watch me rise
Watch me rise
