Mike Rocket is a New Jersey/ NYC singer-songwriter originally from Philadelphia. Dubbed "the hardest working man" by some, he is different from many artists in his relentless, fearless, self-promoting, and outside the box tactics. Rocket often sets up and performs in places like Times Square, outside stadium concerts, at network television shows, and by the entrances of large festivals in order to expose his music to the masses. To date, he has been seen/heard on national television as well as on major New York, New Jersey, & Philadelphia radio stations. He has been seen on the TODAY Show over 45 times. He's gotten to perform a few seconds of his song "Start Every Day The Right Way" 3 times. 
He performs solo as well as with a band mostly in the New Jersey and New York City areas with regular shows at City Winery in New York and the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park.
His passion and energy are infectious and his music appeals to a diverse audience. In 2012, Mike Rocket was selected to be the opening act at the prestigious South bySouthwest Music Conference (SXSW 2012).  

In 2016, after 4 years of setting up outside, he got invited to be an official performer at the Firefly Music Festival along with some of music's biggest acts. He was invited back on an unofficial stage in 2019 and has continued to set up outside and perform each year.
Rocket can be heard weeknights on NJ101.5 as he has written the song to begin Steve Trevelise's show. His Springsteen cover of "Give The Girl A Kiss" is played regularly on Sirius XM Ch. 20 E Street Radio.
