From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 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, (Originally ). 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 was voted into the top 40) and winning the competition in 1999. That year also saw the completion of the band's full-length CD, Life is a Dream.

In 2003, Mickey relocated to New York City where he continues to create music; playing out all over the Manhattan scene now as a solo and with his new band . Mickey and the Ickies released their new album, Out Of The Box, in March 2015. In 2020, after a five year break from writing new music, Mickey released the EP "Dracula Daughter" as well as a host of new singles. More releases are planned for 2021.
