Another addition to the list of teenage divas, Mikaila brings a hip-hop flavor to teen pop. The young singer started singing at the age of four. After moving from her native Edmond, OK, to Dallas, Mikaila sang the national anthem at sporting events and became a regular performer at Texas Rangers games. She was soon discovered by manager Marty Rendleman, who worked with teen country singer LeAnn Rimes. Soon after, Mikaila was performing nationally, including a performance at Carnegie Hall. She then signed to a record deal by hip-hop label Def Jam. In 2001, the 14-year-old entered the crowded teen pop marketplace with her self-titled debut album, confident in the fact that her hip-hop tinged sound would help separate her from her teen pop peers.

Mikaila (born Mikaila Dominique Enriquez on December 15, 1986) is a pop singer from Edmond, Oklahoma.
Mikaila is best known for recording and performing the song "So In Love With Two" off her self-titled album in 2000 at the age of fourteen on Island Records. The song went to #29 in the Rhythmic Top 40 Billboard chart, #25 on the Billboard Top 39 and #27 on Billboard 's Top 40 Mainstream. The album itself went to #20 on the Top Heatseekers chart. Due to the oversaturation of teen pop in the music market, and Mikaila's resulting charting difficulties, only one follow-up single, "It's All Up To You," was released. However, "It's All Up To You" did not chart, and Mikaila has not had any releases since. . Mikaila is of French, Spanish and Aztec Indian descent.
