Mike Licata Jr. was born and raised in Bronx, NY.  As a DJ, he started spinning music at the early age of 13. 

By the age of 17, Licata began producing and learning music theory on a Steinway Grand Piano. It was then that his teacher discovered his gift of synesthesia. Using his talent, producing and mixing became a natural instinct landing him a job as an in-house music producer for Malaco Records/New Muzic, Inc.  Licata went on to work with internationally acclaimed DJ Grand Wizard Theodore, producing multiple tracks for his highly anticipated album.

In 2009, DJ Mike Licata produced “Stranger From The Sky” which landed significant airplay throughout the New York Tri‐State and has performed at national venues in the United States.
