Mikolas Josef Facts
- Born into a family that harbored musical interests, Mikolas had started playing the guitar from the age of 5.
- During his college days, he began auditioning for modeling jobs and was involved in several fashion shows. He had also shot features for major brands such as Diesel, Replay, and Prada. It was looking like a promising career for him but he chose not to pursue it further as he disagreed with the modeling industry’s practices at that time.
- After leaving modeling, he traveled to several major European cities such as Prague, Oslo, Zurich, Hamburg, and Vienna. He used to make his living there through busking, a practice of performing music on streets and in public places, in return for gratuities. He has often credited these experiences to his development as a musician.
- During this time, he also used to work as a cleaner at a recording studio so that he could produce his own music there once a month.
- In 2018, he had been featured in a Forbes magazine selection of ’18 inspiring people of 2018′.
- In 2019 he and his family had established their own independent record label, Vivienne Records.
- Later that year, he had turned down an offer to become a coach in Hlas Cesko Slovenska, a joint Czech and Slovak version of The Voice.
