Timeline

1963

Michael Harrison Sweet (born July 4, 1963) is a singer and guitarist from Whittier, California; he is the co-founder, songwriter, guitarist and lead singer of the Christian metal band Stryper.

1980

In the early 1980s, Sweet and his brother started a band called Roxx Regime and played in small venues.

They were a trio for a period of time with Sweet being the only guitar player in the band.

This band would later become Stryper.

The band challenged the stereotype of heavy metal being satanic and took Christian rock into mainstream.

With the band, Sweet was not only the lead vocalist and shared lead guitar duties, but he also wrote most of the music for the band as well as co-producing and arranging the music.

The band recorded five successful studio albums.

1990

The band's reputation declined in the 1990s.

1992

After nine years as the lead singer/lead guitarist of Stryper, Sweet left the band in 1992 in order to pursue a solo career.

He first released a demo album, Unstryped, which featured several songs allegedly intended for the band.

Sweet later included some of these on his first full-length album.

1994

His self-titled debut album was released in 1994 and sold over 250,000 copies.

1996

He followed it with a slightly softer album titled Real in 1996 earning him a Dove Award nomination.

Soon after the release of Real, Sweet left Benson Records, with whom he had released the two albums.

During this time, Sweet and his wife Kyle moved to Massachusetts, where Sweet worked at his father-in-law's campground/cranberry business, Maple Park.

1998

In 1998, he released an independent demo album titled Truth which received critical acclaim.

1999

In 1999, Sweet reunited with former Stryper bandmates Oz Fox and Tim Gaines during a concert in Puerto Rico.

The concert featured Fox and Gaines's band, SinDizzy.

Sweet was invited as a solo artist.

The three of them got together for a set of four songs.

The next year, the first Stryper Expo was held in New Jersey and the entire line-up was reunited again.

2000

He was signed to Restless Records and re-released Truth in 2000 with a new song-list and new artwork.

2005

Although original bassist, Tim Gaines, left the group in 2005 and was replaced by Tracy Ferrie, the band has continued to work together, releasing a new album titled Reborn, produced by Sweet.

However, he has continued with his solo career as well.

2006

In August 2006, he released a solo album titled Him which features traditional hymns re-written and arranged by Sweet.

2007

He's also had a successful solo career, and briefly served as singer and guitarist for Boston from 2007 to 2011.

On August 19, 2007, Sweet was asked by Boston's Tom Scholz to be one of the lead singers and guitarists for Come Together: A Tribute to the Life of Brad Delp at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston.

Sweet was asked to be a part of what was supposed to be Boston's last performance on August 19, 2007.

It was a benefit and tribute show and names such as Sammy Hagar, Mickey Thomas and Ann Wilson were among the invited guests.

Tom Scholz was moved by what Sweet had written about the late Brad Delp and then heard Sweet sing and play guitar.

Scholz was so impressed with Sweet's talents that he invited him to join the band and become a permanent member.

2008

Scholz then asked Sweet to join Boston for the band's summer 2008 tour with Styx as the opening act.

Sweet performed lead vocals, background vocals, and guitar work for Boston.

Sweet handled lead vocals on roughly half of the set list and played guitar for the entire set and handled solo work as well.

2009

The band then released the album Murder by Pride, produced by Sweet in July 2009.

Perry Richardson who is formerly of the band Firehouse is now the bassist for the band.

In 2007, Sweet released an album called Touched in honor of his wife, Kyle, who died on March 5, 2009, after a two-year battle with ovarian cancer.

2011

In August 2011, it was announced that Sweet had left Boston to focus on his priorities and contributions to Stryper.
