Biography

Michael Kenji Shinoda, a renowned musician, was born on February 11, 1977, in Agoura, California. His journey as a singer-songwriter began to take shape in 9th grade, when he met guitarist Brad Delson, with whom he would eventually form the iconic rock band Linkin Park.

As fate would have it, Brad and Rob Bourdon had already cut their teeth playing in various bands during their high school days, which served as a catalyst for Mike's nascent singing career. This serendipitous encounter sparked a creative synergy that would ultimately lead to the formation of Linkin Park.

Mike's path converged with that of Joseph Hahn, a fellow art school student, who had been honing his DJing skills for an impressive five years. Meanwhile, Brad crossed paths with Phoenix Farrell in college, further solidifying the group's foundation.

The final piece of the puzzle fell into place in 1999, when Chester Bennington joined the fold, bringing his unique vocal style and charisma to the table. Mike's artistic vision was further exemplified by his design of the cover art for the band's groundbreaking album, Hybrid Theory, which catapulted Linkin Park to international stardom.
