Mika Amonsen, originally from a small town just outside Toronto, Canada, was raised in a family that deeply valued the arts. His mother, a dancer, and his father, a rock 'n' roll enthusiast, supported his early passion for music. At the age of 13, Mika picked up the electric guitar and spent the next five years playing in a rock band. The band recorded a ten-track album, performed at large local venues, and had the privilege of opening for notable Canadian acts like Kim Mitchell.

After high school, Mika transitioned from music to academics, attending university while still maintaining a strong connection to his creative passions.
