Mike Bleed Da BlockStarr

Michael started his musical career recording under the pseudonym Camaro Callione, in 1999. Under the mentorship & guidance of the late Walter McCallon(Tre-8), who gave him his first opportunity to become a household name by letting him perform the chorus on McCallon's Toss It Up record from the 2 Hot 4 TV EP. Michael later changed his stage name to Michael Carlione, a nickname given to him by one of his father's friends. In 2008, Michael was first exposed to the major stage as a solo artist with his debut single BlockStarr at AllMusic which ultimately gained him a featured performance on BET's 106 & Park's Wild Out Wednesday, and a record deal offer from Universal Republic. The single's video was shown on MTV 2 and many other video shows & outlets.

After a four-year hiatus from the music industry, Michael changed his stage name for the final time to Mike Bleed Da BlockStarr, to better correspond with his self-titled musical genre HipRock & RnBleed. His recent musical popularity came in with his New Orleans Saints based theme song Dats My Team, originally released in 2012.

Mike Bleed has released a number of singles independently, including "Burn Out", "Losing It", and "I Keep A Bag", under his own record label BlockStarr Incorporated. In 2015, he became a voting member with the Recording Academy.
