Bitză discovered his passion for music as a teenager, and began playing guitar between 1992-1993. Later, the artist became part of a well-known and active choir, blending the guitar with the piano. Even so, his passion for hip-hop music was stronger, and at the age of 19, Bitză debuted in Ro-Mania, a band that released songs adapted from Romanian folk music.

After a year with Ro-Mania, Bitză decided to leave the band and later formed a new group, Déjà Vu, with three other men. With this band, he explored several styles, ranging from RnB to dance. After one album with Déjà Vu, Bitză decided to focus more on his solo career and left the band.

Bitză broke into the Romanian hip-hop industry after performing, alongside Paraziții, the song "Fără tine" from the album Categoria grea. The chorus of "Vorbește vinul," written by Bitză, developed into two songs: "Fără tine" and "Vorbește vinul. In 2002, Bitză began performing in concerts with the band Paraziții.

Later, there was a period of uncertainty in Bitză's artistic life, as he wasn't sure whether he wanted to continue on the artistic path he had started or pursue studies at the Faculty of Accounting within the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies. During that time, Bitză composed a song with Sfinx Experience (Crina Mardare, Zoia Alecu), which won third place in the composition category at the Mamaia Festival.

Ombladon was the one who brought Bitză back into music in 2002, and the two began working on the artist's debut album, Sevraj, released in 2004. The album features collaborations with Ombladon, Tata Vlad, FreakaDaDisk, Cheloo, DJDox, Raku, Adrian Despoy, and K-Gula. The song "Următorul pas," featuring Tataee (Tata Vlad), was the single chosen for the album Sevraj.

In 2005, Bitză released his second album, Sinuciderea unui înger, featuring guests such as L.Doc, K-Gula, DJ Undoo, Grasu XXL, VD, DJ Paul, Vanessa S, Deliric, Loredana, and Butch. In 2006, Sinuciderea unui înger received the Gold Disc from the Roton record label for selling over 15,000 units. Bitză released his third album, Fapte bune, that same year. An "urban soul" album, it contains 16 tracks that tackle delicate topics while also featuring sensitive melodies, which set Bitză apart from other rappers in Romania. In 2009, he released his fourth album, Sufletul Orașului, and in 2010, his fifth album, Goana după fericire, which was produced independently and distributed with Gazeta Sporturilor.

In 2013, the album Liniște marked a new chapter in the soloist's career.

Bitză left Romania in 2014. Spain became his second home, andwas the place where he found himself both professionally and personally.

Although he had been away from Romania for a significant period, Mihai Biță did not stay idle. He worked both on his solo career and for other international artists. In 2021, he released the song "Mama Spunea" in collaboration with Tataee (Tata Vlad), dedicated to the most important advice received from parents.

In 2019, he created the song "Mama Spunea". Bitză began working on the song while in Spain, alongside Tata Vlad, and continued it back home in Romania. Impressed by the lyrics and the story of the song, Tata Vlad decided to collaborate with Bitză and release it together.

The music video for the song "Mama Spunea" features Bitză and Tata Vlad in several scenes from different areas of Bucharest, with the two artists attempting to make a "small parallelism between the street, where we all come from, and the moment when you leave the street, when you step out of the neighborhood."

The artist continues to work on his solo career and shares unique details about his friendships with Romanian artists through his vlog "Vorbește Shotul" on his YouTube channel.
