To the untrained, songs and road building may not have anything in common. But Elsa Mickayla begs to differ.
” They both require creativity”, said Mickayla, 30. ” I see both like creating artwork, while one is physical and the other is audio”.
Mickayla is a music manufacturer, organizer and glad father, and is also a part of the award-winning a singing group, The Island Voices.
She just released two singles, has plans to release new music each month this year, and is also getting ready to relieve her full-length record at the end of the year.
Mickayla claimed that writing and producing her personal roll and R&, B audio gives her the freedom to express herself and to present her own ideas.
Mickayla is one of the few female road setters in Singapore when she is not producing music and uses her creative juices for path setting. A course setter creates climbing roads or rock problems on artificial climbing walls and designs them.
After companions suggested that Mickayla be interested in road setting, she began bouldering in 2019 as a hobby. She discovered way setting on the job, which took her about a quarter to master.
She currently works for Boulder Plus and Boulder Planet as a independent way stopper.
