Video: Mishka, Buffett On “Ocean Is My Potion”
The title track of Bermuda singer/songwriter Mishka’s new EP, “Ocean Is My Potion” – featuring legendary American performer Jimmy Buffett — recently topped the Billboard reggae charts.
Mr. Buffett, whose songs have made him synonomous with a laid-back island lifestyle, first met Mishka when he was only four years old.
Mishka and his sisters — one of them future alternative rock star Heather Nova – were selling croissants in the French West Indies when he came upon the “Margaritaville” man himself.
The acoustic-leaning songwriter even wrote a song about that encounter with Mishka called “Chanson Pour Les Petis Enfants.”
Now the musicians’ relationship has come full circle on Mishka’s on “Ocean Is My Potion” which features a combination of their velvety vocals.
Born in Bermuda and raised in the Caribbean, Mishka Frith is a traveller and a sailor at heart. A free spirit, whose lyrics melodies and grooves, are reflections of the roots and culture in which he grew, Mishka’s music is Caribbean at the core, and yet it’s an eclectic sound that contains many elements and genres.
From bass heavy roots reggae, to mellow acoustic ballads, songs of love, songs of social justice and consciousness, you have to hear for yourself and experience the music.
