While in the Equal Access program, Miko Marks released her critically acclaimed album Feel Like Going Home in October 2022. The funding from the program allowed her to film two music videos, including “One More Night” which premiered with CMT and played on their billboard in Times Square. She was also able to use the funding to secure an independent radio rep, who helped get her album to debut top 10 on the Americana Radio charts, and her song "One More Night" climbed to #12 on the Americana singles chart.   This charting helped her land a ton of Year End “Best Of” lists, including:
