Michael Daniel "Mikey" Jimenez  is an American singer-songwriter and 1/4 of 4th Ave.

Personal Life and Family
Mikey was born on October 23, 1999, from East Los Angeles. His mother works two jobs to support him and his younger sister. Mikey is the man of the house and does a lot of the cooking and cleaning to help his mom. He gained his confidence as an artist by singing to the customers in the hair salon.

His mom and dad divorced when he was 5-years old.

Music Career
Mikey works at the salon for extra money or for haircuts. His mother works two jobs, as a full time hair stylist and as a part-time real estate agent. His dad also owns a barber shop and his grandmother used to own a salon.

He began singing after he watched his dad and grandpa sing, causing him to fall in love with music. He learned to perform by singing for clients in the salons. School is very important to Mikey's mother so he was not allowed to fully pursue music until he graduated.

He auditioned for ABC's Boy Band with Ne-Yo's "Because Of You” and ended in the top eight. He released his single “Back To Him” after the show ended. He was also featured in the song “Nowhere Fast” with fellow Boy Band member, Miles Wesley.
