Flea<\/a><\/strong> isn\u2019t just one thing. He is a symphony of contradictions. A father. An actor<\/a>. An iconic stage presence. An inductee into the Hot Ones<\/a><\/em> family of celebrities suffering from severe decision-induced gastrointestinal distress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More than that, Flea \u2014 birth name: Michael Peter Balzary \u2014 is the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers<\/a>, a band from a far-off era called the 1990s<\/a>, when all the tips were frosted and kids still had the audacity to dream of Californication. Since before the band had landed on a name, Flea has been laying down some of the most iconic riffs in contemporary rock and roll, becoming one of maybe <\/em>three bass players that anyone would recognize walking down the street \u2013 two, if Gene Simmons isn\u2019t wearing the makeup.<\/p>\n

Born in Melbourne, Australia on October 16, 1962 and raised in Canberra, New York and California, Flea grew up in a series of varyingly bohemian environments, with both parents engendering a lifelong love of music in him. By his own recollection, Flea came by his pseudonym in high school, earning the nickname thanks to his inability to sit still. Friends would call him \u201cMike B. the Flea,\u201d a sobriquet that he\u2019d carry with him into early performances, being credited as such in some of his earliest acting work in 1983\u2019s Suburbia.<\/em> Presumably in a bid to ruin the lives of future CD insert writers who got paid by the word, he later shortened it to “The Flea,” then “Flea.”<\/p>\n
