In the months following the passing of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, Mike channeled his grief into artistic creation, working alone in his Los Angeles home on music, recordings, and painting. In January 2018, he released the Post Traumatic EP, featuring three deeply personal songs that unflinchingly express his anguish and longing after Chester’s death. Mike also directed, shot, and edited the music videos for all three tracks himself, which garnered widespread acclaim. The New York Times praised the work, saying: “Haunting electronic elegies with deftly chosen rhymes in the choruses, the songs convey a turbulent mix of mourning, outrage, self-pity, and searching — for catharsis, for understanding.” Mike Shinoda 2 Following the EP, Mike continued creating and is now set to release his new album Post Traumatic, a raw and emotionally charged body of work. Though the title refers to “after trauma,” the songs aren’t solely about pain — rather, it serves as a point of departure. Mike explained: “It’s about moving through pain and darkness, not into it.” Ultimately, Post Traumatic is an album about healing. Although Mike briefly left Linkin Park in 2005 to launch his hip-hop project Fort Minor, Post Traumatic marks his first solo album under his own name. “Not just because it’s so personal, but because it doesn’t sound like Linkin Park,” Mike said. “I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, and I think that’s all going to come out in this record.” In May, Mike performed at the free IDENTITY LA music festival in Los Angeles, and in August he’ll be playing at Japan’s Summer Sonic festival. “I’m looking forward to getting back to releasing music and touring — that’s my normal,” Mike said. “For years, my career has been built around that. I know it’s going to be different this time, and I’m excited to explore this new normal.” Mike Shinoda 3 About Mike Shinoda Mike Shinoda is a musician, performer, record producer, film composer, and visual artist.
