Mickey Zetts

Mickey Zetts (born September 25, 1971) is a singer/songwriter/composer living in New York City.

Formerly of South Florida, Mickey Zetts started out acting and writing plays/music for the theatre. He attended the performing arts magnet at Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale and was a member of the theatrical fraternity Delta Psi Omega. His musical play APATHY-the Gen X Musical was the longest running late night show in the history of Florida Playwrights' Theatre in Hollywood, Florida.

In late 1997, Mickey took a long break from the theatre & formed the alternative band, Mickey's Ickies (Originally Them Ickies). Known locally as a wacky-theatrically fun variety show, the band Mickey's Ickies had a high-profile career locally, with even some national recognition among MP3.com listeners (Mickey's Modern Irish Drinking Song was voted into the top 40) and winning the Baywatch Battle of the Bands competition in 1999. That year also saw the completion of the Ickies' full length CD, Life is a Dream. After five years of playing in nearly every bar/club/festival in South Florida, Mickey relocated to New York City where he continues to create music; playing out all over the Manhattan scene now as a solo.

Since completing his newest recording, Girlfriendland, Mickey has returned to his first love, the theatre. A revival of APATHY- the Gen X Musical was produced at the 2005 Midtown International Theatre Festival. The Show Goes On Productions picked up the show in 2008 and a newly developed production is planned for 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word mickey:

    The 1950s to me is darkness, hidden history, perversion behind most doors waiting to creep out. The 1950s to most people is kitsch and Mickey Mouse watches and all this intolerable stuff.
    James Ellroy (b. 1948)
