Miki - I'M AWKWARD
Produced by R & D Records, Performed by Mikaela Bradshaw - Composed by Ric Parker - Lyrics by Belinda Adams
Music Video Produced by Citrine Sun Entertainment - Directed by Paige Badenoch
"I'm Awkward" arrives as a vibrant counter-narrative to the airwaves' usual saturation of songs about riches, image, and unattainable perfection, offering a refreshing anthem that champions the power of embracing one's uniqueness. Mikaela "Miki" Bradshaw's, upbeat pop/rock debut is a bold declaration of empowerment and self-acceptance, challenging the societal pressure to conform to a rigid box. Miki, who began her musical journey with classical training at age seven under the mentorship of Antonia Breen, brings a formidable vocal skill to the track, weaving lyrics that draw inspiration from her own family's "crazy adventures and antics."
The song's creation was a powerhouse collaboration between Miki's mother, songwriter Belinda Adams, and industry veteran Ric Parker of R&D Records. Fresh off the success of Belinda's country hit "Menindee Sky," which recently premiered on the Country Music Channel, she teamed up with Ric Parker, whose extensive career spans multiple genres and includes work with some of the world's greatest rock bands. Together, they produced a track that shouts loud and clear that being different is something to be celebrated, not hidden. Through "I'm Awkward," Miki hopes to inspire Australia's younger generation to follow their dreams, learn to love who they truly are, and stop wasting time dwelling on what they are supposed to be, proving that true strength lies in owning one's quirks.
