Strike Da Mic, usually called Strike for short, is a Swiss graphical and musical artist. He was born on 13 May 1986 in Winterthur, Switzerland. Currently, he lives in Erstfeld in the Canton of Uri together with his fiancée. His real name is Thomas.
Early life and school
Strike attended kindergarten and his first five years of school in Rorbas, Zurich. On his third year of school, he was reported to be an exceptionally silent and uninterested student, which lead his parents to believe that he had some form of learning disability. Upon being checked by a psychiatrist, Strike was assessed a so-called "highly gifted" person (which he still does not believe to this day), seeming to have a special affinity to languages. Strike started to learn English, a language he soon loved. He listened to US-american HipHop during his teen years, which helped him adapt an American accent that's minimally flawed by his Swiss German linguistic heritage. After having attended college, Strike advanced to the University of Zurich. He studied Anglistics, Journalism and Educational Theory
