Mischulaikah Richardson was born to Lorna Richardson and Richinel Fazalalikhan in The Hague, Netherlands. She was born into a very musical family. Her mother had always been active with music; she played the guitar, learned how to play the piano and often sang in choirs. The rest of her family was also very influential as they all sang and played various instruments.

It was around the age of twelve when her mom decided that they would leave the Netherlands and return to her mother’s birth island of St. Maarten. In 1995, St. Maarten was destroyed by hurricane Louis and this drastically changed life on the island. It created emotional and social changes in her life, where she went from having everything her heart desired, to having practically nothing.

The experience of hardship on the island made Mischu Laikah who she is today, her growth has been a lesson learnt every step of the way, it has humbled her and changed her in many ways, most notably; her taste in music but also her identity as a person. It was there she developed a greater appreciation for her Caribbean heritage.

In 2003 she returned to the Netherlands to pursue her studies but music continued to be a major influence in her every day life.

In 2007, she came into contact with Stonerich Studio to record the track “Let me show you”.
