Mike Amoia most insect tattoo | Guinness book of world record
Amoia started out as a music producer at the young age of 22 and got his first freelance assistant editing job working nights at VH1 and Sony Studios loading tapes and prepping footage for the day shift. After one year, Amoia worked his way up to a freelance editor, working on various projects for MTV, VH1, Sony Studios, and Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central.[1]
In 2003, Mike Amoia co-founded Vidiots – a 20,000 square foot postproduction facility in the West Village housing an agency representing editors and directors. Vidiots then expanded into a production company in 2010.[2]
In 2015, Amoia created Mibe Music, a publishing company with over 100,000 music cues and songwriters worldwide, which he still co-owns with his operating partner. Mibe Music credits include Beyoncé Pepsi commercial, CBS sports, Bravo's Million Dollar Listing, History Channel's Counting Cars, and the NBA Finals opener for ESPN.[3]
Amoia launched Switchblade Entertainment Group in 2016. Switchblade is a worldwide production company signed with Creative Artists Agency, and specializes in original, mostly unscripted content for TV, film, and digital.[4] Production credits include Discovery Channel's "Dirty Money", CBS’ "Men of March”, “Worlds Tough Mudder”, Thursday Night football open, ESPN Monday Night Football open, Fox Being Liverpool, and Cooking Channel's "My Grandmothers Ravioli”.[5]
Mike Amoia expanded his ventures into the health and wellness space in 2017 with his investment in Rumble Boxing, a group fitness gym founded in NYC. Just after being operational for little over a year Equinox picked up a significant minority stake in Rumble which was reported to be valued at about 100 million. Mike's investments have expanded to various sectors of business. He currently holds equity in over 17 companies including Rhone (men's activewear and accessories), Ramona (organic wine based spritzer), Stillhouse (liquor), and Van Leeuwen (vegan ice cream) to name a few.
In 2019 Amoia joined a New York-based film and media fund founded by Adi Cohen, Mark Damon and Jordi Rediu. He joined the $100 million private placement as a lead investor and head of DCR's decisions about buying into films and TV projects involving music and publishing rights.
On October 28th 2021 Mike was awarded the Guinness World Record for "the most insects tattooed on the body" with a total of 864 tattoos. His Guinness record was achieved to raise money and awareness for his non profit to help underprivileged kids. The previous record holder was the late Rick Genest aka "Zombie Boy" who has 176 insect tattoos.
In 2022 Amoia signed a multi year deal with Apax Capital Group's European Consortium headed by Yona Wiesenthal and Noam Baram to provide full music coverage for films and TV shows made through Apax for 10 million Euros a year for the next 10 years. Amoia realized this commitment through his MIBE Music company. MIke will steer the Music Investment Committee of Apax's board and thus will be an active member in determining Apax's investment policies for film and television music and publishing rights.
