Mickey Zetts (born September 25, 1971) is a singer/songwriter/composer living in New York.

Formerly of South Florida, Mickey Zetts started out acting and writing plays/music for the theatre. He attended the performing arts magnet at Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale and was a member of the theatrical fraternity Delta Psi Omega. His musical play APATHY-the Gen X Musical was the longest running late night show in the history of Florida Playwrights' Theatre in Hollywood, Florida.

In late 1997, Mickey took a long break from the theatre & formed the alternative band, Mickey's Ickies (Originally Them Ickies). Known locally as a wacky-theatrically fun variety show, the band Mickey's Ickies had a high-profile career locally, with even some national recognition among MP3.com listeners (Mickey's Modern Irish Drinking Song was voted into the top 40) and winning the Baywatch Battle of the Bands competition in 1999. That year also saw the completion of the band's full-length CD, Life is a Dream.

In 2003, Mickey relocated to New York City. Mickey and a new band, simply called "the Ickies" released a new album, Out Of The Box, in March 2015. In 2020, after a five year break from writing new music, Mickey released the EP Dracula Daughter as well as a host of new singles. 2021 saw the release of a new full-length album titled The Art On The Moon, though widely ignored by critics, he considers it to be the best work he's done since Apathy.

As of 2023, Mickey currently plays bass in an Acoustic Dance band called The Wood Vibrations.
