Mikey Martin – R2RR Ep. 34

Professional drummer Mikey Martin had his first taste of alcohol at age 11.  Kicked out of junior high, he continued to get loaded all through high school.  Alcohol consumed his life until he got sober aged just 21.   His career took off not long after and his band Shiny Toy Guns were nominated for a Grammy in 2007.   He has been playing music professionally for over 20 years and in 2011 also started working with young adults in recovery.  To him music and sobriety go hand in hand and he believes that by teaching clients to create art in sobriety, it can help them find a way out of addiction.  He has now been sober for 15 years.
