Artist description "Michael K." The first question out of everyone's mouth is "What's the 'K' stand for?" Kocher; pronounced "KUCKER" - rhymes with? never mind. You can see why it's just Michael K. He's also known around the Baltimore/Annapolis, Maryland area as "DJ Michael K." and it hasn't been until recent years that people have been privy to his catchy melodies, infectious hooks, and heart shaped lyrics. He's all about music and his music is all about life, love, and how he views the two subjects at any given moment. Michael K.'s music draws on his personal experiences as well as his idealistic fantasies of that "perfect love" bound together with simple, straight-forward melodies and modern instrumentation and arrangement. Michael bought his first guitar 24 years ago at the age of 7 for the exorbitant price of $19.00 from a local department store, and it wasn't long before he was taking lessons and writing songs. Although there were times when his guitar became little more than a dust magnet in the corner of his room, Michael K. was always writing lyrics and poems and playing some kind of music.Finally, after many, many years of being in the closet, Michael K. was coaxed out onto the stage and into the recording studio when a local singer/songwriter and neighbor convinced him he was writing some "pretty killer tunes" and offered to bring him into the recording studio to lay down some demos. What started as one or two songs quickly snowballed into a full CD's worth.Michael K. began playing "guest spots" anywhere he could with anyone who would let him sit in and it wasn't long before he was getting positive feed back from many of his "local heroes". This ultimately led to a meeting with Todd Kreuzburg, one of Annapolis' most talented musicians and producers who continues to bring Michael K.'s songs to breath-taking heights with his top notch production and arrangements.The debut CD is called Heart Shaped Songs. Listen to any one of the songs, and you'll agree it's a fitting titl
