KOOKT

KOOKTARTIST - PRODUCED & MIXED BY BRIAN REED AT CPlocopico@hotmail.comAbout Us Mike “Kookr” has been around music since birth. Growing up with piano played daily and singing along to his mom’s tapes of Heart, Beach Boys, Steve Miller and even Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. It was his taste of the album “Smash” from The Offspring that set him on his own path. When he got a guitar at 17, he idolized the likes of Korn and Fear Factory. Having kids at the age of 21 didn’t give much free time, but he finally took a chance and joined a band at 29. This opened up connections to a world he fell in love with.

When it came time to vocals, I had not even thought of it because I had never sung into a mic before; but he heard me humming a melody with some words and pushed me to just try singing it.  I was awkward at first, but he made me feel comfortable and gave me some techniques to control some notes and voice.  Mid-way through I got more comfortable and leaned into it which [...]
