Micah Wallace
Drumset
Music has always been my outlet since the young age of 2. Growing up, watching musicians just inspired me to become a drummer. Throughout my music journey, I have played in steel band, jazz band, pep band, concert bands, played drums for various churches, weddings, and marching band all throughout high school. My first year at Eastern Kentucky University, I participated in marching band and concert band. In addition, I’ve played drums in music groups such as, Double Planet, Corrupted Youth, and now currently working with the band Knowall. Music is the best way I can express my art and I want to show others how they can express themselves through the instrument I know best, drums/percussion.
Mikaylah Rose
Vocal Coaching | Piano
Mikaylah Rose is a full-time musician, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist with over a decade of professional experience. She teaches voice and piano, plays guitar, writes original music, and performs as the lead vocalist of THE ROSES, a band she fronts with her husband.

Her musical journey also includes years of leading music for large audiences, filming music videos, and working in studio settings. She has delivered the national anthem at Monster Jam and other major sporting events. Known for her powerhouse voice and magnetic stage presence, she has earned recognition in multiple vocal competitions and built a reputation as a dynamic, versatile performer.
Despite becoming hard of hearing due to a medical complication, Mikaylah has never let it limit her voice or passion. Instead, it has shaped her into a more intuitive and empathetic musician and educator. Whether she’s working with children discovering their voices for the first time, or supporting adults as they rediscover their creative flame, she brings warmth, encouragement, and a deep love for watching people grow to every lesson.
When she’s not making music, you can find her working in her garden, riding a motorcycle old enough to be her dad, or rescuing plants from her local nursery. She shares a home with two adventurous boys, her supportive husband, a Boston Terrier, and a herd of cats. Her life is a mix of rock and roll and utter chaos, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
