"Singer/songwriter MILCK has proven to be a talented voice for change. - Parade.com

For Los Angeles-based singer and multi-instrumentalist MILCK, music is a sanctuary. In her words, “Music is the one place where I can simply be me. When I’m singing my lyrics, I don’t have to be feminine enough, masculine enough, American enough, or Asian enough—I can just be a soul that yearns to be free.” 

 

MILCK’s life took a 180 degree turn after Alma Har'el's cell phone video of her street performance of her song “Quiet” with a choir of 25 strangers at the 2017 Women’s March accumulated 8 million views in two days. Soon it was being echoed and interpreted by choris around the world, from the US to Sweden to Ghana. “Quiet” was named Billboard’s #1 protest song of the year, and earned distinction as part of NPR’s “American Anthem” series. And in 2018, it brought MILCK to the March’s main stage in New York City, where she performed alongside the legendary Yoko Ono. 

 

Since then, MILCK has collaborated with artists such as John Legend, Natasha Bedingfield, Phillipa Soo, Ani DiFranco, Aloe Blacc, and LeAnn Rimes to create songs rooted in hope, love, and resilience. 

 

Beyond the recording industry, MILCK is expanding her creative reach into musical theater, advocacy, and mentorship; La Jolla Playhouse has commissioned her and her frequent collaborator AG to develop the music for The Family Album, an award winning seriocomedy musical in development. Inspired by MILCK's life journey, the musical explores themes of healing and family, and is set to premiere in 2026. MILCK appeared in the 2024 TOMS apparel mental health campaign. MILCK is currently partnered up with UN Girl Up’s girl leaders, creating a study guide about sexual assault awareness, activism, storytelling, and healing.
