Biography of Bret

Bret Michael Sychak was born in Butler, Pennsylvania on March 15, 1963. Bret was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at a young age, along with his sisters, while growing up in Mechanicsburg.

His first rock band as a teen was formed during his time in high school. Brett Michaels became known as a stage name around this time.

Poison’s Rikki Rockett and Bobby Dall were among Michaels’ earliest connections in the music industry. Poison was formed in 1984 when they were joined by Matt Smith. Los Angeles’ thriving music scene provided the band with greater options after moving there.

The position of Smith was eventually filled by Christopher C. Vaudeville. When word of Poison spread throughout Los Angeles, Enigma Records eventually offered the band a recording contract.

When the band released their debut album, Look What the Cat Dragged In, it was initially overlooked. Look What the Cat Dragged In, however, went platinum after Bret Michaels produced a video for the song “Talk Dirty to Me.”  Within a few months, the group was headlining Madison Square Garden.

Michaels’ breakup with his girlfriend spurred Poison’s release of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and “Nothin’ but a Good Time.”

Both songs appear on the band’s second studio album, Open Up and Say… Ahh! Platinum status was achieved with the album, and it’s considered one of their best. With Flesh & Blood, they once again achieved multiplatinum status.

After some disagreements arose in the band, they had difficulty releasing music in the future due to these arguments. It was particularly noteworthy that Bret Michaels and C.C. Demolished got into a heated argument during the performance.

Backstage at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, there was alleged brawling, and they often engaged in fistfights in the back. C.C. VandeVille eventually left the group for this reason.

Native Tongue was released when Poison changed Kotzen to Richie Kotzen. Gold certification was awarded for Native Tongue. Kotzen had even more issues, which led to Blues Saraceno replacing him.

The band again released Crack a Smile.More!More!More! It was in 2000 that Poison released Crack a Smile… And More!More!More! to positive reviews. In the years following his Ferrari crash, he pursued a solo career but maintained his role in Poison.

‘A Letter from Death Row’ was Bret’s first solo album, released in 1998. A few years later, Michaels released Songs of Life, an album combining Country and pop music.

A few years after that, he released Freedom of Sound, an album focusing on country music. Bret Michaels released the chart-topping album Custom Built-in 2010, which featured a collaboration with Miley Cyrus entitled “Nothing to Lose.”

In 2012, Bret Michaels toured with Def Leppard, another great 80s band. True Grit was his second album released in 2015.

Professional Career Bret

Bret’s musical career began to blossom when he was a teenager. In Mechanicsburg, he formed a band with Rikki Rockett and Bobby Dall, who played bass.

The band lost one more member in the beginning and Matt Smith was brought in. After a proper form with the name Paris in 1983, the group was properly called Paris.

Their name changed in Los Angeles in 1983 after playing in Pennsylvania for a while. It was during that year that the band changed its name to Poison. Even Matt Smith eventually quit the band.

In an attempt to gain fame and success, C.C. took the place of Matt Smith. When they signed with Enigma Studios, they found their first hint of success.

Despite taking its time to find its audience, Poison’s first album, “Look What the Cat Dragged In,” finally found its audience after the music video for the song “Talk Dirty to Me” was released. After being platinum for a few weeks, Poison has finally broken through to the big time.

Because of insulin shock, the founder of the band Bret Michaels collapsed on stage during a concert at Madison Square Garden.

Despite the allegations that he had overdosed on drugs, he claimed to have had diabetes since an early age and cleared his name.

After Bret ended his relationship with Tracy Lewis claiming that her fame ruined their relationship, he wrote the 80s heartbreak anthem, “Every Rose Has its Thorn.”

Even the one-sided blame game among the separated couple ensued.

Next came the band’s second album, ‘Open Up and Say . . . Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! ’, which was released in 1988. The album was even more successful than the first one. ‘Open Up and Say . . . Ahh!’ features two career-defining tracks by the band.

Such tracks are ‘Every Rose Has its Thorn’ and ‘Nothin’ but a Good Time.

Poison’s third album, ‘Flesh and Blood’, which was released in 1990, was also well received by the audience. It was a consistent trend to find music like ‘Unskinny Bop’ and ‘Something to Believe In’ at the top of the charts.
