Artist History The history of Mike's career begins in his native Denmark when hischildhood, which was not affluent or always easy, led him to the popularmusic of Europe and America as a safe haven and, sometimes, Mike's only truepleasure in life. He joined his first band at 15 and began travelling allover Europe to play at the cost of his education. "I got a real education,"he laughs. "Sex, booze and rock and roll!" But, he also learned aboutcommitment, dedication and real friendship. It is this very commitment thathas brought Mike Tramp the successes he has enjoyed over the past couple ofdecades as well as what inspires him to go ahead with the music he wishes towrite and record today. Eventually Mike made it to New York where he metVito Baratta. Together, they formed White Lion who signed to AtlanticRecords in 1983 and then went on to sell 6 million records and have 4 top 40hit singles, including the classic "When The Children Cry" After White Lionbroke up in 1991, Mike returned to Europe and formed a new band, Freak ofNature, who recorded two albums released only in Europe and Asia, For thenext couple of years Mike and Freak of Nature focused on playing live inEurope and Asia to promote the albums, but after about 400 shows, Mikedecided the time had finally come to stop trying to please everyone else,and record some music that truly pleased him.
