Biography:
Born to a Japanese father (Mike Shinoda) and an American mother (Shinoda), Mike Shinoda, or Michael Kenji Shinoda, was raised in the Los Angeles suburb of Agoura, where he resided for all of his pre-adult life. (Unfortunately the rumor that Mike Shinoda is a distant descendant of composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is false.) Shinoda’s first exposure to the music business came during his middle and high school years, when he attended a concert featuring Anthrax and Public Enemy. After that, he began taking piano lessons, studying classical piano techniques and later moved on to jazz and hip-hop. It was during this formative period that he added the guitar and, eventually, rap-style vocals to his repertoire. In his early teens, Shinoda’s musical interests found a source of encouragement in friend Brad Delson, with whom he started to write and record songs in a makeshift studio set up in his bedroom. Shinoda attended the Agoura High School with Linkin Park bandmates Brad Delson and Rob Bourdon, as well as with members of the bands Incubus and Hoobastank. By the end of high school, percussion practicioner Bourdon had become involved in their musical ventures; the trio formed the band Xero, and began to make a more serious attempt to pursue a career in the music industry.
After high school, Shinoda enrolled in the Art Center College of Design to study graphic design and illustration. It was here that he made the acquaintance of DJ and turntablist Joseph Hahn, who, along with Delson’s college-mate Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, was soon added to Xero’s line-up.

grass_whistle is definitely one of the most real 'early' Linkin Park fans that exists. grass_whistle is a straight edge punk who is anti-drugs, anti-authority and anti-hate. grass_whistle wears clothes that fit her 70% of the time. as for other music, grass_whistle generally enjoys listening to fort minor, chester bennington and mike shinoda. grass_whistle doesn't want to be part of your clique. grass_whistle supports progressive values. grass_whistle thinks republicans are evil. grass_whistle owns a skateboard but suffered a sprained ankle last week so it's not very easy to ride. grass_whistle almost got some cool tattoos but unfortunately she didn't get paid enough that week so she had to choose between the tattoo and the latest dvd of The Big Bang Theory. grass_whistle is looking for like-minded linkin park fans who are ANTI-drugs, ANTI-authority, and ANTI-cliques to strike up a conversation.
