Michael Geier, known as Big Mike Geier, is a singer, entertainer, and leader of the band Kingsized, which is based in Atlanta, Georgia, US.
Geier's most critically acclaimed act is his alter ego: a Pagliacci-type clown named Puddles Pity Party.
I discovered Puddles Pity Party by chance when I came across his video clip from Season 12 of America's Got Talent in 2017 and the singing sad clown stays stuck in my head:
The non-speaking, seven-foot-tall singer became a worldwide Internet sensation in 2013 when a video of his baritone cover of Lorde's "Royals", a collaboration with the music collective Postmodern Jukebox, went viral (it now has over 32 million views):
It's more than Puddles just making good covers of good songs – but he is actually recreating someone else's art into his own masterpieces!
I'm sharing more of his videos here:
His singing evokes melancholy and yet, at the same time, it is mesmerizing and memorable!
