Michael Ryan Pritchard on May 4, 1972 in Rodeo, California. He was born to a heroin addicted mother, and was given up for adoption. He was adopted by a Native American woman and her white husband. When he was 7, his adoptive parents divorced.
In 5th grade he met Billie Joe in the school cafeteria. They began playing music together, and formed the band Sweet Children. When he was 13 he had just been getting close to his stepfather, when he died. When he was 15 his mom moved to Santa Rosa, California. Instead of moving with her he rented a room on the side of Billie Joe's house. He paid the rent by working at Rod's Hickory Pit as a cook.
In 1997 he had a daughter, Estelle Desiree, with his now ex-wife Anastasia.
