Makka is born as Michael in Groningen and at a very young age he knew that music is a big influence on your life. In the 80s Makka grew with Michael Jackson's music followed by the 90s with artists such as Usher, R Kelly and Ginuwine. The sing along and dance to the musical rhythms provided a good basis for Makka. Shortly after the introduction of R & B music of the 90s Makka discovered names like Tupac Shakur, Bone Thugs' N Harmony and the Outlaws.
