Mike Dahlquist (born June 23, 1987), better known as Mike Diva, is an American video director, special effects artist, musician and YouTube personality.

Based in Southern California, Diva began experimenting with video equipment at age 13. A piano and cello player, he performed in several orchestras and was the lead singer for the band "Vyncent Flaw" alongside keyboardist "Maxx Jenga". His YouTube channel is eclectic, a mix of parodies, skits and music videos.

In 2011, Diva's "Sexy Sax Man" video featuring saxophonist Sergio Flores went viral. In 2012, Diva collaborated with fellow YouTube stars Joe Penna, Tay Zonday, Corridor Digital and DeStorm Power to create the YouTube group and channel BAMMO. Diva also appeared that year as Bruce Lee in episode 25, "Clint Eastwood vs. Bruce Lee", of the web series Epic Rap Battles of History. In 2014, Diva was listed on New Media Rockstars Top 100 Channels, ranked at #77. In February 2016, Diva's trap remix of the 1989 film "Special Friends: Starring You On Kazoo" went viral.

Diva has produced official music videos for 3OH!3,Kill the Noise, Peter Pepper,The M Machine,Mindless Self Indulgence, and Savant. Most of his music is on SoundCloud.

In June 2016, Diva's video Japanese Donald Trump Commercialトランプ2016 gained international attention, with some 8 million views on Facebook and almost 300,000 views on YouTube in its first 24 hours. The video masquerades as a Japanese commercial that seemingly promotes the presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Slate described the work as "a dizzying, sorbet-hued phantasmagoria that gestures toward the coming end times."
