Mitch is a descendant of a Germanic family named, Divrent, who Americanized the name in the early 1900s when they immigrated to the U. S. "Different" was the name that they had chosen. So, he was born with the name, Different. Many relatives have changed back to the original name, but Mitch feels that the name best represents him as an artist, and will always be "Different".
