She performed at festivals, hotels, and anywhere she had the opportunity to strut her stuff. At the ripe age of 12, the Italian and Jewish beauty was asked to travel to Washington D.C. to give a solo performance for President Bill Clinton. After singing for the Commander in Chief and lead roles in all of her high school plays,and being active in her high school cheer team as captain for two years, and playing soccer as a goalie for her high school team, Mikalah kicked things up a notch and decided to take the chance to go pro with her vocals, and show up to the open call audition for American Idol with hundred of other hopefuls. Her instant Idol success brought her to Los Angeles and she hasn't looked back since.

Mikalah remains visible and connected to the American Idol community, performing in countless shows around the country such as the recent "Idols in San Francisco" concert and hosting the 2008 American Idol Finale in winner David Cook's hometown as well as the 2008-2009 American Idol Tour.

With her return to television on "Gone Country 2," Mikalah engaged viewers and fans old and new once again as host John Rich introduced her and the cast to the essence of country life and the inspiration behind country music first hand. She has since been called back to Tennessee to sing the National Anthem at the National Demolition Derby and make several other personal appearances.
