1977年生于Heidenheim，从小就是披头士的歌迷、学习录音、上过打击乐和钢琴课、在学校乐团任职的他，从1994年起用吉他创作到2000年开始用钢琴创作，而后在2001年出版了自己的处子专辑，也就是那张美丽的"Infinite Love Songs" 。我是从03年的那张"Rose"开始认识这个忧美的男人的，这里的“忧美”不是错别字，而是“忧伤美丽”的一个缩写，的确，这是对他音乐最好的两个形容词，诚然，这样的词汇可以用来形容的乐队艺人何止千万，但Maximilian Hecker确实赋予了它们更为纯粹的别样意义：古典韵味的钢琴、通透的假声、弥漫的稀薄情感、独特的曲式行进、偶尔肆虐的吉他失真和神经质的男声。

Sophomore album for the German pop Casanova. 'Rose' is completely free of the 'classic Brit-Pop influences' as one could still hear them on the first album. Looking for comparisons you´d be tending more towards tracks by Sigur Ros, maybe also Simon and Garfunkel or even Suede. Maximilian has become more daring especially with his lyrics, very personal, exposed and denuding they´ve become, poetic and sensual. Produced by Gareth Jones who has worked with Depeche Mode, Moby, Goldfrapp, Wire, Erasure amongst others. Kitty-Yo. 2003.
