About Mishka
My musical journey began with parents who loved pop music. We enjoyed watching classic musicals, listening to old albums, and singing to Top 40 on the car radio. My musical repertoire and set lists have been shaped by years listening to pop songs that everyone knows.
"What makes the Piano Lounge with Mishka so much fun? He plays songs you know and love!"
My love of music extends to the dance floor as well. To get me out of a post-relationship funk, my parents took me to my first salsa lesson. With encouragement from my instructors I hit the dance floor and I met the love of my life, my beautiful wife and lifelong dance partner, Georgie. She supports and inspires me on the dance floor and behind the keyboard.
"Mishka shares his passion for music and dance with his lovely wife, Georgie. They let the world be their dance floor!"
Beyond music and dancing, my other interest include travel, dining around, classic cars and motorcycles. Originally from California, I graduated from UCLA then graduate studies at Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Professionally, I retired from a career at top pharmaceutical companies serving in clinical research, medical affairs and commercial leadership roles.
