Birth Place

Mikey Bolts was born on October 8, 1991, in Sacramento, California, the USA. He has a younger brother. He majored in journalism at the California State University, Long Beach. As his grandmother had passed away due to breast cancer, Mikey Bolts wanted to do something to make a difference. So he decided to raise $5000 for the breast cancer research institution, Susan G. Komen Foundation, by participating in Darelicious, which is like Kickstarter, but in a more entertaining way. In 2014, he had stated that if he successfully raised $5000, he would jump out of a plane dressed like a Power Ranger. His father had also promised that if Bolts is successful in raising the money, then he would also jump out of the plane with him. However, the YouTuber did not share any updates regarding this later on.

The video where he sang the song ‘Timber’ by Pitbull and Ke$ha became hugely popular and amassed 2.3 million views within a few months.
