About
Mike Shinoda In Concert
If frontman Chester Bennington provided the howling catharsis in Linkin Park, Mike Shinoda served as the rock band's understated, Yoda-like presence. On hits such as "In The End" and "Somewhere I Belong," Shinoda dishes out hard-fought wisdom in an easygoing voice that reveals an intuitive grasp of groove and flow. Despite such outward calm, he isn't always even-keeled: On the angsty "Faint," Shinoda cranks up the urgency of his rapping to match the jagged, electro-metallic instrumentation.
Unsurprisingly, his non-Linkin Park work is just as wide-ranging and adventurous. Fort Minor serves as a solo outlet for inventive hip-hop with socially conscious lyrics and eclectic instrumentation. And on the 2018 album ‘Post Traumatic,' released under his own name, Shinoda exudes raw-nerve vulnerability as he works through the range of emotions he felt after Bennington's 2017 suicide. Naturally, it's a moving collection steeped in evocative electronic sounds, moody hip-hop production, and ruminative lyrics.
This genre-busting approach makes sense: Shinoda was raised in southern California, where he grew up a hip-hop fan—albums by Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, and LL Cool J were early faves—and he played piano and keyboards. As a teenager, his tastes broadened to include blues and jazz; later, he started dabbling in guitar, sampling and making beats, and eventually rapping.
Shinoda co-founded Linkin Park precursor band Xero while still in high school. He continued playing with the group during and after college, juggling graphic design work with his burgeoning music career. That love of art has never dissipated; in fact, Shinoda even contributed to Linkin Park's design aesthetic and packaging.
Appropriately, fans coming to his headlining tour can see displays of original artwork he made in parallel with ‘Post Traumatic,' in addition to hearing songs culled from that album, plus select cuts spanning his entire career.

by Renzlip on 11/4/18House of Blues Las Vegas presented by Cricket Wireless - Las VegasMike Shinoda put on a fantastic, unforgettable show, playing a bunch of favourites from Linkin Park and Fort Minor and his outstanding new solo material. Mike really connected with the crowd and was so entertaining and uplifting. The House of Blues Las Vegas is a fantastic venue with a great atmosphere and sounded phenomenal. Artist and venue both highly recommended. Go see Mike Shinoda if you have the opportunity you will not be disappointed.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Mike Is Still Carrying The Torch for Linkin Park!
by CyprianC on 10/24/18Tabernacle presented by Cricket Wireless - AtlantaAmazing show, as someone who saw Linkin Park multiple times this was the first time being able to catch a performance in a lot more of an intimate venue where Mike could interact with the crowd a lot more. He did a great job of mixing in old Fort Minor stuff, new Post traumatic stuff, and classic LP songs in an amazing set. The highlight had to be the Chester/Linkin Park medley that rolled right into new tracks About You and Over Again which were a perfect bookend to his feelings about the whole situation and this current tour, but the most EPIC moment of the night for long time fans had to be the performance of a remixed version of Cigarettes from the Fort Minor album as well as Kenji. The only way the show could have been better was if the rest of LP was there or if he had a guest like Chino from Deftones (whose music was playing while the stage was being set) Also really wanted to hear Mike perform Lift Off in some fashion even if it was just his verse and him singing the hook. All we can do is hope that we get at least one more LP tour with the rest of the guys or one more album just to close the book on LP and Chester once and for all and that they come through to Atlanta again. I'll be there.
