Michael Araya (born 12 March 1999), known professionally as MikroToon and formerly as Mikkael, is a Canadian musician, artist, singer, and producer from Vancouver, British Columbia. He is known for blending indie, alternative, rock, comedy, horrorcore and animation into his work.

Early life

Araya was born on March 12, 1999, in Richmond, British Columbia, and grew up in the Metro Vancouver area. During his childhood, he developed a strong interest in music, animation, and visual storytelling. He frequently watched programming from Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Nickelodeon, and other animated networks, which played a significant role in shaping his early creative interests.

Araya spent much of his youth drawing characters, experimenting with digital art, and creating short animated concepts inspired by the surreal and comedic styles of these channels. His exposure to both Canadian and international animation, combined with Vancouver’s multicultural environment, later influenced the visual and narrative elements of his artistic work.
