Equally successful as a solo artist, Bret Michaels’ career has charted its own course with multiple solo albums. His talent, business acumen and natural candor have solidified him as “a cultural touchdown” in the words of former Viacom CEO Judy McGrath, making him one of the most sought-after performers, interviews, and speakers across multiple platforms and keeping him on the road for the last 10 years, for nearly 300 live performances, speaking engagements, charitable concerts and private engagements yearly.

He also starred in and won the NBC hit, Celebrity Apprentice, raising well over $300,000 for Diabetes research and making him the only celebrity to have a product created be available to the general public and actually become an endorsement deal. Bret has two new TV series in the works throughout 2019.
