In the spring of 1995, Mikey was given his first guitar and he taught himself everything he heard. A few years later, Mikey taught himself to play drums, bass, keys, and any other instrument he could get his hands on. Although at first being self taught was viewed as hindering Mikey's potential, it has shown to stimulate Mikey's creativity in an unbaised and uninfluenced way. Mikey has played in many bands in his 14 years of musical creativity but is most dedicated to his current role as the Lead Singer/Rhythm Guitarist and front man for The Mikey Needleman Band. Never has everything been so set up for Mikey and he is very excited to see what is in store for him. "I just want to play music for as many people as possible," Mikey says, "but in the end, it's really not my call..." 

Mikey plays:
Alvarez PD80SC
D'Addario Light Guage Strings
Line 6 Spider Amplifier
Shure Microphones
