about

A distinct, unique voice and humble character describes the artist Maikal X. These same features made him part of the best selling hip-hop/reggae group ever in The Netherlands “Postmen”. With the release of ‘Genesis’, his debut album, Maikal X delivers a top quality product of international standards featuring reggae icon’s such as Peetah Morgan (lead singer from the group Morgan Heritage), Luciano, Dean Fraser, and Hawaiian reggae diva Irie Love. The official release of ‘Genesis’ was on May the 28th of 2010. After the summer of 2010 Maikal X will be touring with his Evolution Band. Maikal X was born Michael Parkinson, hence Maikal and the X reflects all that he’s known for. Even though Maikal X lived all his life in The Netherlands, having a Curacaolenian mother and Guyanese father made it impossible for him to loose the Caribbean feel for music. Maikal X started out as a break-dancer at the age of 6 and later discovered his singing abilities. From 1998 Maikal X then known as Rolla Rocka / Shyrock enjoyed critical and commercial success with the group “Postmen”. With “Postmen”, Maikal X had a string of hit singles such as“Cocktail” and “You Wait” taken from their hit debut album “Documents”.
