Michael Kerry McFarland (born August 22, 1985), better known by his stage name Mike Bleed Da BlockStarr or simply Mike Bleed, is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana.

Career

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.
