Mick Blankenship

**MODERN HARD ROCK **

Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, **Mick Blankenship** is an independent American Hard Rock artist, vocalist, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist known for blending powerful modern Rock with raw emotion, massive melodies, and an unapologetically heavy edge.

Blankenship worked with **John Moyer of Disturbed** on his first two full-length albums, *Crown of Apathy* and *Madness in the Shadows*. His debut album also featured a collaboration with legendary guitarist **Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal** (Guns N’ Roses, Sons of Apollo) on the track “Eye for an Eye.”

His music has received radio airplay throughout the United States and Europe. “Rule the World” reached the **Foundations Top 10 Rock chart** in 2021 and became the **#1 most-requested song on Boston Rock Radio (Z107) for four consecutive weeks**.

Blankenship later teamed with producer and guitarist **Noah Henson** (Pillar, Brantley Gilbert) to create *Legacy*, continuing his evolution as a songwriter and recording artist.

Building his career independently, Mick has developed a substantial worldwide following across TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and other platforms, while his music and videos have generated **millions of streams and views**.

Onstage, Blankenship brings the same intensity found in his recordings, delivering a powerful modern Hard Rock show built around heavy guitars, soaring vocals, emotion, and connection with the audience. He has shared stages and bills with nationally recognized Rock artists while continuing to expand his touring presence throughout the United States.

Influenced by bands including **Disturbed, Shinedown, Alice in Chains, Queensrÿche, Pantera, and Van Halen**, Mick Blankenship combines the attitude and musicianship of classic Hard Rock with the weight and production of modern Rock.

More than anything, Blankenship's music is built around connection — creating songs for people who have fought their way through adversity and lived to tell the story.

**This is more than music. This is the Rock Soldier movement.**
