Manuel Mitterlehner was born on October 10, 1995 in Melk (Austria) and grew up in Kemmelbach, a small town in Lower Austria. At age eighteen he published his first literary work. Ever since Manuel is able to form sentences he considers writing alongside philosophy and art to be his greatest hobbies.

Already at an early age he expressed his fantasy within short stories and essays. Writing became his constant companion. The darkness of human abysses as well as fundamental decision-making have become his main themes. 2010 he started to write poems, manifesting his dark fantasies in verses. He gains inspiration from the major emotions and extremes, from love to hatred, from good to evil. Manuel Mitterlehner's poems express profound feelings, strong intensity and authenticity.
