Mica was born in Trebic. He conducted many opera performances for royal families. The most paramount example of his work is probably the opera O puvodu Jaromeric (About the Origins of Jaromerice), written in both Italian and Czech. He died at Jarmeritz.

A symphony now believed to be by his nephew Frantisek Adam Mica was once attributed to him.
