Starting music at age 5 when his father taught him "Let It Be" by The Beatles, Mikeyy began producing, writing and recording at 15, playing his first show to 20 people at Apollo venue. 

Drawing on influences from Kanye West and Skrillex to The Beatles, he transitioned from rap to create a signature sound weaving Middle Eastern influence with electronic, UKG and hip hop elements. Since then, he has exploded onto the scene with support slots for Chase and Status at Auckland's Trust Arena, Camo and Krooked, and Issey Cross.

He has collaborated with New Zealand heavyweights Lee Mvtthews (on "Promises", which has over 248,000 Spotify streams) and REPAIR (on "LOSE IT ALL" and "ARRIVAL"), and his 2022 single "Yalla" featuring Jpec drew on his Iraqi heritage with Arabic vocal motifs. With releases on NIGHTMODE, Let Them Cook Records, and Pilot, plus a Sweat Selects DJ mix to his name, Mikeyy continues to push boundaries between vulnerability and euphoria. His latest single "lights" dropped in March 2026. Everything he communicates is something human: "Because I've experienced it and I know you have too."
