Mickey Holiday is a musical artist with a rich heritage. Born in a Christian family with musical parents, grew up in Benton Harbor, Michigan , began to play in Bands around the Grand Rapids area, (Truetones, Metros, Dick Cole Trio). In the 60's he lit up the Jersey Shore singing with the Jaywalkers (Candy Cane, Dudley's, Mrs Jay's (Stone Pony), Groh's, Steve Brody's, Big Bill's, Peppermint Lounge in NYC, etc.). In Chicago at the Club Laurel. In the Bobby Dee band at the Whiskey a-go-go and the Action a-go-go with Harvey Mandel, Barry Goldberg and Eddie Hoh.
Following his Conversion to Christ in 1967, he brought his singing and songwriting skills to the church.
John W. Peterson has said, "Those who have discovered the music of Mickey Holiday know it rings with the sincerity and conviction of a life fully dedicated to the Lord, and has the warmth that is born out of deep concern for those who have never tasted the grace of God."
In 1968, the first of his gospel Songs was published and soon many others followed including: "I Know Where I'm Goin'", "Who Killed Jesus?", and "Christ Is The King Of All Kings", just to to name a few. His song "Happy Am I" has been immortalized in the Singspiration Hymnal "PRAISE" ...an example of his talent and testimony.
Sometimes heritage can be interpreted by the modern church as a synonym for staleness. Not so in the case of Mickey Holiday. His album "POWERHOUSE" produced for Good Life Records is evidence of an ongoing, ever-increasing understanding of his Christian Faith.
In 1972 he began traveling across the United States, singing and sharing his faith, crossing denominational lines with a passion for the unity of the Body of Christ, as expressed in his album: "WE ARE ONE".
Mickey Holiday is not simply a performer. He writes, records, arranges, orchestrates, and shares the Word. His personal blend of humor and worship has brought that special touch to many believers. With Mickey Holiday, you have years of Ministry and Music Production experience at your service.
