Eccentric in Performance
Geier isn’t afraid to take up space. Despite only debuting in 2024, Geier quickly earned recognition as one of Spotify’s Artists to Watch for her alternative pop sound and magnetic presence.
Although she stepped away from ballet to prioritize her physical and mental well-being, traces of the discipline still shape her artistry. In her music videos, she often returns to dance—sometimes even performing in pointe shoes—as a nod to the craft that once defined her.
Whether it’s a breakthrough or an act of breaking free, Geier brings a refreshing unpredictability to alternative pop—one that only scratches the surface of her artistry.
Bold in Style
Geier’s vibrant personality extends naturally into her wardrobe, where bold colors, playful silhouettes, and intentional layering become part of her visual language. While her music videos embrace full-blown maximalism, her red carpet appearances reveal a more refined kind of playfulness—one that still feels unmistakably hers.
What makes Mikayla Geier compelling isn’t just her music or style, but the authenticity woven through both. Her joy carries through every pirouette, while her playful approach to fashion transforms clothing into an extension of her personality.
And in doing so, Geier reminds audiences that self-expression can be both fearless and joyful at once.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chef Frances Tariga is a talented Filipina chef originally from Sampaloc, Manila, with over two decades of experience in kitchens across the Middle East, the United States, and the Philippines. Before bringing her vision to Manila, she established the first Tadhana in New York City in 2024, which earned acclaim from the New York Michelin Guide and The New York Times for its contemporary Filipino tasting menus.
Tadhana Makati offers a modernist 10-course tasting menu consisting of 16 small bites designed for a global audience. The restaurant focuses on an elevated “spin” on classic middle-class Filipino dishes and snacks, moving beyond simple nostalgia to showcase where Filipino food can go through contemporary techniques, intentional design, and refined service.
The menu treats endemic Filipino products—such as wild greens, native citrus, cacao, and fermented grains—with the same reverence as luxury imports. Examples of this fusion include a “Tocilog” that uses squab as the primary protein, a “Sinuglaw” featuring Wagyu beef, and “Tinapay” served as a laminated tingib cornbread with tinapa mousse and dalandan sherry marmalade.
The opening bites are reimagined versions of beloved local delicacies like Binatog, Ensalada, and Kwek-kwek. A notable highlight is the “Pa-kwan,” which offers a savory blend of crispy rice cake, baked watermelon, and miso honey, providing a familiar yet unique flavor profile that sets the stage for the main courses.
The private dining room is designed to be minimalist yet warm and intimate to encourage natural conversation. The space features playful Filipino puns rendered in neon lights, a curated display of books that influenced Chef Frances, and a soundtrack of modern Filipino hip-hop to complete the contemporary cultural experience.
