Mychael Anthony grew up just west of St. Louis in the City of St. Peters, MO. He began entertaining in preschool, where he was so full of energy and wit, that his teacher gave him time in the early afternoon to entertain his classmates in her attempt to keep his comedic exploits to a minimum during class time.

He did dance routines, mimicking Michael Jackson, and was a natural for leading roles in school plays where his range included a natural comic influence.

Mychael Anthony continued to act in plays throughout elementary school and high school. His roles included everything from historical plays to comedies and, at times, juggling appearances in two different plays almost simultaneously.

After graduating high school and ready to hit the entertainment road, he instead paved the way with a college education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The acting bug forced Mychael to take classes at COCA (Center of Creative Arts) and The Muny.

During those years, he literally paid for his dinner by performing, writing lyrics, rapping, and co-managing the group, KRT (Knights of the Round Table). Along with being the opening act for various rap groups, including 2Live Crew, and performing at various Hip Hop Clubs, he co-wrote songs used in sports highlights for both the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams.

He and the group performed the songs live in the News Channel 5 and Sports Plus studio in 2006 and 2007.

In 2005, his group won the Midwest Market Addy Award for their Slackers store commercial. The group held the title of number one sales for hip hop selection in 2004 and followed with the title again with the release of their second full-length, They Fought in 2007.
