Mikella Parker co-wrote the 80's hit song "The Unguarded Moment" with her then partner, Stephen Kilbey for the rock band, The Church. The song charted around the globe and still today, is a cult-legend. At EMI 301 studios, Mikella sang and recorded backing vocals, featured in the album, "The Blurred Crusade". Listen to the haunting song, "It's no Reason" !! She evolved from the world of Rock and developed a name as "designer to the stars" and built a clientele of entertainers from Australia and worldwide, creating an individual image and giving them their "look" !! This was created on her fashion label, exclusively available from her own retail store in the Strand Arcade, Sydney. Both the label and the store were called "Love and Hatred". She continued to write music and to sing and created the backing music tracks for the large fashion parades in which she featured her clothing, jewelery and accessory designs. She later performed singing Blues & Black American Gospel with a guitarist and percussionist and saxophonist. She is still writing music and singing occasionally. Her interest at present is taking part in an Afro American Gospel singing group, as this is her favourite style, along with soul & blues roots.

She is Vegan & devoted to Animal Activism.
