Early Life
His father's side is African-American Jewish.

Michael began cross dressing during his time in New york as a teen, marking the beginning of a his gender identity shift. Mykki has been called one of hip hop’s queer pioneers, but it should be noted that the label of “gay rap” or “queer rap” is not something that she necessarily identifies with. The same can be said about the references to Mykki as a drag artist, according to how she describes herself, “You can't tag me as the rapping transvestite. I never vogued in my life. I'm from a punk and Riot Grrrl background.” Mykki herself articulates her identity as transgendered and ―multi-gendered.
