Background

Mike Fuentes was born on December 14, 1984. His full name is Michael Christopher Fuentes, and he is also known as MikeyWhiskeyHands. He is one of the founders of the American rock band Pierce the Veil. His brother, Vic is the vocalist and guitarist, while Mike plays drums and raps solo. The brothers were influenced by their father, who was a painter and jazz musician of Mexican descent. The first album called “Celebration of an Ending” was released when the band was still called Before Today, but soon after, they changed the band name to Pierce the Veil. The band is considered one of the top rock bands in the U.S. and has released four albums.

In 2008, the drummer released the EP “The Hearts of Lonely People” with the band Supergroup Isles & Glaciers. In 2010, still with Equal Vision Records, Pierce the Veil released the next album “Selfish Machines.” The album did so well that it secured number one on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. The band signed a recording contract with Fearless Records in 2012, and then the album “Collide with the Sky” was released. Fuentes left the band in 2017 and has pursued a solo career as MikeyWhiskeyHands ever since.

Fuentes has also won several awards including an iHeartRadio Music Award in 2017. The drummer-turned-rapper used to be very active on social media and has a huge following on both Instagram and Facebook, but many of his accounts have since been removed or inactive. He has also appeared at various music festivals and has gone on a world tour that has become a documentary video to popularize his music.
