Mikaila Dominique Enriquez (born December 15, 1986), known as Mikaila, is an American singer and actress from Edmond, Oklahoma. She is best known for her role as Melina Finch in Wishbone.
Early life
Mikaila became interested in singing when she was 3 years old. She is of French, Spanish and Native Mexican descent. Mikaila's family were members of Citychurch.[1] Mikaila has an older sister named Jessica.[2] At the age of three she began singing gospel music.[3] Mikaila's parents enrolled her in voice lessons when she was four years old.[4] She attended Washington Irving Elementary School in Oklahoma.[5] Marty Rendleman eventually became her music manager.[6]
After moving to Dallas with her family, she became a regular performer at Texas Rangers games. After heading to New York, she had meetings with several labels. It was at that time that Barbara Cameron, the mother of former Growing Pains star Kirk Cameron and former Full House star Candace Cameron Bure became her agent.[citation needed]
Acting career
In 1997 she was cast as Melina Finch during Season 2 of Wishbone.[7] In 1998 she reprised her role in Wishbone's Dog Days of the West.
Music career
In 1996 before her time on Wishbone Mikaila released a gospel album titled This Little Light. The album was released independently. The proceeds from the album were to help benefit children who lost their parents in the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing. The following year, Mikaila released her second independently-released album titled Dreams. Three years later, in 2000, at the age of 13 Mikaila was signed to Island Records. Her song "So in Love with Two" went to No. 29 on the Rhythmic Top 40 Billboard chart, No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 27 on Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream.[8] In 2001 Mikaila released her major-label debut and only studio album Mikaila. The album itself went to No. 20 on the Top Heatseekers chart. In 2000 Mikaila was the opening act for Britney Spears during her Oops!... I Did It Again Tour.[9] She also sang at Jingle Ball 2000.[10]
Due to the oversaturation of teen pop in the music market, and Mikaila's mixed charting results, her finale single, "It's All Up to You" was released. "It's All Up to You" did not chart, and Mikaila retired from the acting and music industry shortly after in 2002. After retiring from acting and singing Mikaila's family moved to Sun City, Arizona.
Currently, she lives in Phoenix, Arizona. She has one daughter.
