Marika Che is the project of Marika Justad, previously the frontwoman of the indie-rock band TANGERINE. Over the years the band garnered praise from NME, The Guardian, Flood, KEXP, Vice, Bust,  Bitch, Stereogum, Rookie Mag, Billbaord, the Seattle Times, Buzzbands LA, and many more. Their music was heard on TV shows on FOX and MTV, and the band toured as main support for Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers “Gone Now” tour. They have been featured on multiple Apple editorial playlists, and their song “Feel This Way” has millions of streams and counting on Spotify. Now after a brief period of soul-searching, Justad is back as Marika Che (Che is her middle name, taken from her grandmother’s best friend in Korea) with a debut LP out April 8th 2026 titled “Bright Flame”.
