The Secret Beach is pure makin’ stuff. Centered around Matlock, Manitoba–born songwriter Micah Erenberg (aka Karima Micah), it’s a collaborative project creating laidback, left-of-the-dial songs that drift between country, folk, and slacker rock—somewhere between a campfire jam and The White Album: easygoing and loose, yet with meticulous attention to production detail.

In 2025, the long-player We Were Born Here, What’s Your Excuse? earned a JUNO Award nomination for Adult Alternative Album of the Year—a surprising turn for a record assembled as grassroots and DIY as possible, released with little expectation beyond a close circle of friends. The album’s warm, handcrafted production was shaped in part through a chance, bizarrely spiritual friendship with legendary producer Rob Fraboni (Bob Dylan & The Band, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys).
Alongside Micah, core collaborators Daniel Diamond and Kacy Lee Anderson (of Kacy & Clayton) help craft songs that feel unhurried, lived-in, and harmonically intimate.

Sometimes a full band, sometimes a duo, sometimes solo—the project’s form is fluid, but the intimacy and spontaneity of the music remains constant.
Whatever grows from that is what The Secret Beach will be.
