Hey Guys,

Not many of you sent questions in for me. So I’m going to tell you a little about myself instead. I would like to set the record straight on some issues that are not only flying around out there in CyberSpace, but in word of mouth form as well.

I’ll start with where I’m from.

My name is Mike Wolf, I am from Chicago Illinois and music has always been part of my life. I was born 2 lbs 3 oz, barely clinging onto my three month premature life. The nurses that delivered me called me “Mighty Mike” because somehow through it all, I survived. I was diagnosed with intrauterine growth retardation, meaning I hadn’t grown quite properly in the womb.

My earliest signs of musical interest came when I would memorize and execute in the most perfect of ways, the entire musical score of any Disney film presented to me (Aladdin and The Lion King are my favorites). My mother then sent me to various music workshops and classes, thus beginning my musical education. At the age of seven, I began sining at various bars, appeared on Chicago’s local talent show “Stand Tall and Get Excited” and finally at age eight, booked my first nation television appearance on the Sally Jesse Raphael Show.

At nine I moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, performed in small theater productions like “Grease”, but didn’t really focus on music again until high school.

Those who know my most, know of my first band with moderate notoriety, Finding Apathy. After playing many performances (Vans Warped Tour 07’, Circle K/Cox Cable Band Contests), the band dismembered and Steven and I created Hello Hollywood.

However, before Hello Hollywood was even thought of, the hardest experience of my life occurred. Unlike most High School Seniors, I spent my summer on the operating table. By the time Hello Hollywood was recording our first demo’s last fall, I was recording the songs you hear, holding myself up on a walker. Our very first show, at The Clubhouse, I was still limping.

I don’t want to give you guys a novel haha, but I did want everyone to know some things about me. Sharing my music and art with other people is my dream and for someone to sit there and say I am the downfall of my band is just unexceptable. Though I do not remember each and everyone of you, I hope you never hesitate to email me, message me, or approach me at shows. I hope that those of you I do talk to, find me respectful and kind. I cannot control what you say about me, I know there are several of you out there who dislike me, hate me even and that’s fine. I just wanted you to be informed of some things I’ve been through, before you draw your daggers. 

For those of you planning on getting to know me further, you’ll find I am private about several things. My love life is one of them. I’ll leave it up to you to create your opinions. I really don’t care about that. Our journey as fan and performer should be about the stories we create together, not about whom I’m dating. 

Thank you so much for all the support, every time I see you guys at the shows, it reminds me why I fought so hard for this.

Love,

Mike

Ps. Please send in your questions still.
