"Follow your dreams don't die" Mickey Avalon

Mickey Avalon (born Yeshe Perl;[1] December 3, 1975) is an American rapper from Hollywood, California. His debut self-titled solo album was released Nov. 7, 2006 on Interscope/Shoot to Kill Records in association with MySpace Records. Frequent topics of Avalon's songs are his experiences with substance abuse and prostitution.

Avalon was raised in a Jewish family and had a turbulent childhood.[2] His paternal grandparents were Holocaust survivors who were imprisoned at Auschwitz.[3] Though his father cleaned up his act and began attending Alcoholics Anonymous, he was struck and severely injured by a drunk driver leaving a meeting.[4] At age 19, Avalon made the decision to take his father off life support, ending his life.[4] During his late teens, Avalon briefly adhered to Orthodox Judaism in an effort to stay off the streets.[4] Avalon continued as a sex worker and drug dealer until finding success in the music industry.[5] By his early 20s, Avalon married, had a daughter, and moved to Portland, Oregon.[6] While battling drug addiction, Avalon moved in with his sister (also a drug addict) with the hope that they could aid each other in recovery. During this time, his sister relapsed and died from a heroin overdose.[7] Deciding that he wanted more out of life, Avalon decided to move back to Los Angeles and make a final attempt to clean up his act. It was shortly after this return to Southern California that Avalon met Simon Rex and began to gain recognition for his music.[7]
