Mitchell got his start on the violin in the Suzuki violin program at Brandon University in Brandon,

was a member of the Brandon Conservatory Youth Orchestra and several chamber music ensembles.

In 1992, Mitchell began studying the Canadian old time fiddle style in addition to his classical violin
studies. He began competing in the Canadian fiddle contest circuit, and by age twelve, he had won the
title of Manitoba Open Fiddle Champion, the youngest musician in history to do so. He has competed at
competitions across Canada and the United States, and has over 250 awards to his credit. Mitch was a
founding member of the popular fiddle group, “The Fantasy Fiddlers”, and at age 13, he served as
teacher and performance leader of the group, a position he held for several years.

At age 17, Mitchell joined the Calgary based fiddle show "Barrage". He performed with the group at a
wide variety of venues and events, from small private gatherings to large arena shows. He has appeared
with Barrage on major television networks in the United Kingdom (BBC), Poland (POLSAT), China
(CCTV), New Zealand (TVNZ), Taiwan (TTV), the U.S.A. (PBS, KTLA, WGN, DISNEY), and Canada
(CBC, CTV, GLOBAL, CITYTV, TVA, BRAVO, CMT) among others. He has performed for the Prime
Minister of Canada, the British Royal Family, and even played the half time show for the NBA's Detroit
Pistons, Toronto Raptors and Phoenix Suns.

In 2006, Mitchell was asked to perform for the 5th anniversary celebrations at the Tokyo DisneySea
Resort in Tokyo, Japan. He performed in the 'American Waterfront' area of the resort throughout 2006
