Mikey Manville (born Michael Iwanyshyn 25 Dec 1980, Toronto, Canada) is a Canadian musician and lyricist, and the lead singer of the band The Manvils.
In early 2004, Manville met bassist Greg Buhr and later that year met lead guitarist Mark Parry and former drummer Andy Mac whilst working in a Video Store in Vancouver. Within a week of meeting the later two members, a band was formed within a week and their first show played within three weeks.
In 2006 Manville's face appeared on the front page of the popular Canadian fashion/Music magazine ION along with a three page article and photographs of the other band members in the April 2006 edition.
In 2005, Manville and Producer John Akred began working on Manville's acclaimed solo record "Broken Arms" in Akred's private Chicago studio, Clodock Recording Parlour. With guest appearance by pedal steel guitar legend, Bob Egan (Wilco/Blue Rodeo) Manville is set to release "Broken Arms" on Sandbag Records in September 2007.
