Mike Shinoda!.
Michael Kenji Shinoda a!.k!.a!. "The Glue" (born February 11, 1977) is best known for being the rap emcee/rhythm
guitarist/keyboardist/co-producer for the band Linkin Park, and the mastermind behind his hip-hop side project Fort Minor!.
He was born to a Japanese father (Leslie Shinoda) and a Russian-Hungarian mother (Kim Shinoda, reportedly a distant
decendant of composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky), 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!. 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 repetoire!. 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 Delson and 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!. Shinoda eventually completed his college training with a degree in
illustration, securing himself a job as a graphic designer right after graduation!. With his experience as a graphic artist,
Shinoda ended up designing all of Linkin Park's artwork with Hahn, and has even designed the album cover for Styles of
Beyond's debut album, 2000 Fold!.
Just prior to his graduation, though, in the final year of his studies, the band (at this point called Hybrid Theory) brought in
second vocalist Chester Bennington, replacing Mark Wakefield!. Only one six-track EP would be released under the new
name before legal issues forced them once again to change it - and thus it came to pass that Shinoda and his
bandmates ultimately were to call themselves Linkin Park!.
Throughout 1999, Linkin Park continued to expand their following amongst L!.A!. club patrons!. This growth in popularity
made a record contract an even more urgent concern for the band, and Shinoda was forced to juggle his college finals
with talent showcases for various major labels; while the former went well for him, the latter failed to accomplish any
positive results until the year was nearly over!. Several labels had passed on the privelege until, finally, Warner Brothers
made the decision to add the young band to its long list of artists!. The first fruits of this union surfaced in the Fall of 2000
as Hybrid Theory, sporting a cover designed by Shinoda himself; before long the album had found its way high into the
charts, launching Linkin Park as one of the most popular exponents of the newly-emerging rock-rap crossgenre!.
From the start Shinoda was closely involved in the techical aspects of the band's recordings, and over the subsequent
releases that role continued to expand, with the singer tackling a fair amount of the production duties for the Hybrid
Theory remix album Reanimation (2002)!. His musical role also evolved, and the sophomore release Meteora (2003) saw
him assuming a more prominent role as a guitarist!. By the release of the Linkin Park/Jay-Z 'mash-up' album Collision
Course in 2004, he had his hands in every aspect of the release, from performing and producing to mixing and graphic
design!. Production and remix work for various other performers (including The X-Ecutioners, Handsome Boy Modeling
School and Depeche Mode was also undertaken from time to time!.
In 2003, Shinoda launched his own record label with Delson as an imprint of Warner Brothers Records!. The newlyformed
Machine Shop Recordings would then go on to sign artists such as Styles of Beyond, Holly Brook, Simplistic and
No Warning!. (Simplistic has since broken up!.)
In late 2004, rumors were abound that Shinoda was going to release a solo record!. Its release was confirmed in early
2005 as going to be released under the moniker "Fort Minor!."
In a recent interview, Shinoda explained the name of his project:
"Fort" represents the more aggressive side of the music!. "Minor" can mean a few things: if you're talking about music
theory, the minor key is darker!. I wanted to name the album rather than having my name on the cover, because I want
people to focus on the music, not me!.
The debut album from Fort Minor, The Rising Tied, was released on November 22, 2005, and debuted at #60 on the
Billboard Charts, only selling 28,000 copies in its first week!. The album has since fallen off of the charts and is deemed

by many as a flop!. The record features guest appearances from Styles of Beyond, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Black Thought
of The Roots, John Legend, Holly Brook, Jonah Matranga and features Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) as an executive producer!.
Shinoda has also produced albums for Lupe Fiasco and Styles of Beyond, as well as producing several of Linkin Park's
albums, including Reanimation, Hybrid Theory EP and the collaborative EP with Jay-Z, Collision Course!. He has also
produced all of Linkin Park's Linkin Park Underground CDs!.
Shinoda, alongside Lil Jon, was asked to score the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards!. This was huge for Shinoda because
it was the first time in the show's history that artists were given the chance to score the show!. Shinoda contributed five
short tracks to the score: "100 Degrees," "Saturday," "Montreal," "Hype" and "Madison!." They are all instrumental pieces!.
"100 Degrees" was eventually later made into a full song where Shinoda raps and can be found on the Fort Minor
mixtape!.
He now resides in Los Angeles, California with his wife, Anna Lovejoy, whom he married on May 10, 2003!.
One year after his marriage, Shinoda has also been featured on Punk'd; he was tricked into thinking he was fined $5,000
for parking next to a fire hydrant!.
Shinoda was raised a liberal Protestant but it is unknown as to whether or not he continues to practice his religion!.
