Michael Peter Balzary was born in 1962, and by the '70s he was already known by the nickname that his friend Anthony Kiedis would soon call him. Who is he?

Flea got his nickname because he wouldn't sit still, the perfect quality for the live performances that came to be the trademark of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
