info_outlineOn this episode of #WeNeedToTalk, Malynda chats with American Idol alum, singer, songwriter and Host Miklaha Gordon.
They chat about her using music as a way to cope as a sexual assault survivor, the concept of forgiveness, the loss of her grandmother, how the pandemic affected her as an artist, her growth from American Idol to now and her latest album, "Vivian". A moving, and heartfelt conversation.
Mikalah Gordon knows how to take multifaceted to a whole new level. A Vegas native and proud LGBTQ+ Italian-American, Mikalah channels her love of family, her culture, and entertainment across music, comedy, acting, and as a TV personality/host. At only 17 years old, her time as a Top 12 contestant on American Idol Season 4 kick started her career with a national audience that took to her unique stage presence and powerful vocals. Mikalah would soon after return to Idol as a co-host for “American Idol Extra” and go on to create her own YouTube series, Idolatry, where she interviewed former coaches and contestants.
Comedy is also an integral part of Mikalah’s life, getting her stand up start in the LA Comedy scene— headlining The Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store—allowing her to return to TV in a whole new way, starring in the WB sitcom “Living with Fran” alongside Fran Drescher, and serving as a field correspondent for “The Tyra Banks Show” and “The TV Guide Network.” Joining the ranks as YouTube star solidified Mikalah as a comedic triple threat, with her viral portrayal of Melania Trump landing her on a recent sketch for Jimmy Kimmel Live to reprise her role alongside comedian John Di Domenico. Mikalah has also proven herself to be a skilled dramatic actress, previously starring in the CBS hit show “The Unit.”
Mikalah currently serves as the host for Channel Q’s Morning Beat, discussing the latest in LGBTQ+ news, pop culture, and entertainment.
