Misho was born Mikayel Abrahamyan (Armenian: Միքայել Աբրահամյան) on December 24, 1984 in Yerevan to a family of a doctors and a teachers from Karabakh. He played basketball during his late school and college years. In 2009, he graduated from the Yerevan State Medical University and received his medical license as a doctor.
Misho became interested in rap music in his high school years. He had started writing poetry at the age of 14, so when he first listened to Hip Hop music, he was fascinated by how music and poetry could go together, and so he realized he wanted to do that himself. In 2000, with his childhood friends Yoj, Hamo and his cousin Sash, Misho formed a group called "Selected from...." where he first experimented with creating Hip-Hop music in the Armenian language. They wrote songs both in Armenian and Russian. A year later, the group dissolved, without any apparent reason.
In 2001, Misho met HT Hayko, with whom two years later their first single came out called "Hay tghen tghaya" («Հայ տղեն տղայա») under the group name Hay Tgheq («Հայ Տղեք», Armenian Guys). This was the first Armenian Hip Hop group in Armenia. Hay Tgheq was formally dissolved in 2008, but by that time Misho had founded a new group called Hay Team («Հայ Թիմ», Armenian Team).
In 2007 Misho started his solo career with the release of his album, “Eka, Tesa, ...i” (Էկա, տեսա, ...ի). Misho established himself as a serious lyricist, bringing to light social injustices and taboos in his country. His body of work is unique not only in pioneering Hip-Hop music in Armenia, but also in his politically conscious lyrical content. Since then he’s released "Qaxaqe Xosuma, Lseq" (Քաղաքը խոսում ա, լսեք...) in 2009, "Inquam" with Garik in 2009, "Im Lezun" (Իմ Լեզուն) in 2011, "Mi Qani Hogi" (Մի Քանի Հոգի) group project in 2013 , "Btsaxndir" (Բծախնդիր) in 2015, , "Maraxux" (Մառախուղ) in 2017, and "Mi Qani Hogi" 2 (Մի Քանի Հոգի 2) which will be released in 2018.
Misho’s success in music lead to various movie offers. In 2005 he had his first movie role appearance in “Mer Bake 3” for which he also did the soundtrack with Hay Tghek. In 2010 Misho was offered his first lead movie role in "A Millionaire Wanted." . After the success of this film he was offered 2 more leads in "Poker AM" (2012) and "Four Buddies and the Bride" (2015). He has an upcoming Untitled Film by Sharm Holding set to be released in 2018.
