Mistis was born in Athens and grew up in Keratsini, Amfiali. He started listen to Hip-Hop music at the age of 13 and has influences like Eminem, Nas, Notorious BIG, 2Pac and more. It all started in 2006 when Mistis began to write his first lyrics. In 2008 he started record his first songs in a home studio. There was always the idea of a full project and this finally made when Mistis finished his military obligations in 2011. On September of that year he started working for his first album and he finished it on February 2012. The name of the album was Vengeance The album was released on the internet for free download. On December 2012, Mistis released on the internet his second album which named H Afiksi tou Xaous/Arrival of Chaos

Those two albums had an underground style and the concept had to do with social subjects. A big collaboration single ("I Theoria mou") will come in the beggining of 2013, with greek singer Vaios Konstantinidis. A song that played on some radio stations and had a lot of positive critics. He also made a club song with featured singer Elena Domazou which named Logia Polla and a street song in late of that year which named Dirty. Mistis made a lot of appearances in events, like performing at Fashion Catwalk show (I&D Colors & Aleiya G productions) at Metropolitan Expo and at the Youth Charity Festival of Piraeus. In that event he awarded with a Medal of participation by the hosts.

Mistis, Taras DeeJay and Maria Kaplanidi formed the group Royal. Royal is an RnB/Hip hop group based in Keratsini. On April 4, 2014 they released their first single Me Ena Vlema sou under Inside Out Music label. One year later, Mistis released with Royal new song "An". On May 24, 2015, Mistis released his first street single since 2013 with a very different style than his previous songs. RAW is the title of his new track and it's very close to new school hip-hop. "RAW" is a trap song very close to "club style", however it's a very aggressive song where Mistis criticise a lot of specific things in rap system.
