His songs have premiered on Grey's Anatomy, Orange is the New Black, Homeland, Pretty Little Liars, and in the Paper Towns trailer. Ekko is also featured in Rihanna's song "Stay" from her album Unapologetic. His debut album, Time, is available now on iTunes. Don't miss your chance to see Mikky Ekko at the University of Arkansas!
