Isaac Kyere was born in Ghana in 1991. At the age of four, he moved with his family to Germany, starting in the city Duisburg. After his mother suddenly passed away, his father moved Isaac and his two brothers to Neukölln, a multicultural Berlin neighborhood popular with young international expats.

Isaac began dancing at a youth center, specializing in hip-hop and krumping. In 2006, he and his brothers won the German Krump Championship. This marked the birth of "M.I.K Family," where "M.I.K" stands for "Monsters In Krump" and "Mindset is Key." Their credo: attitude is everything.

Isaac has also won individual titles including best dancer, alongside completing his master's degree in industrial engineering. He now works as a dancer and choreographer for well-known artists, including the German band Seeed and Peter Fox. An entertainer and content creator, he boasts over than 11 million followers on TikTok. Euromaxx reporter Christine Lebert met him in Berlin.
