Michael Kaeshammer

About

The artist

Michael Kaeshammer is a German-born pianist, singer, songwriter, and producer professionally based in Victoria, British Columbia. His current artist-controlled biography identifies him as B.C.-based, while the exact Apple Music profile and current Bandsintown profile both identify Victoria as his home base. His official site remains active in 2026 and lists a Canadian tour extending into 2027, with dates across British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Kaeshammer began studying classical piano in Germany, discovered boogie-woogie as a teenager, and moved with his family to Canada's west coast in the mid-1990s. He entered the British Columbia festival and club circuit in 1996 and developed a keyboard-led approach that moves between boogie-woogie, jazz, blues, soul, and pop. His current official biography describes him as a pianist and singer, and presents Turn It Up as his fifteenth album. The record combines original songs, vocals, acoustic and electric keyboards, and a band-oriented pop and jazz palette. His catalog also includes No Strings Attached, Days Like These, Lovelight, Kaeshammer, With You in Mind, The Pianist, No Filter, Something New, Live in Concert, and KaeshammerLIVE!. The exact Spotify identity 1CqTkHB5MbbY4SQjy7Qr07 contains 20 album and single containers available in the Canadian market from 2000 through February 14, 2025. Spotify classifies 12 as albums and eight as singles. The provider total includes live albums, a multi-track single, featured appearances, and holiday material, and is therefore a provider catalog summary rather than a conventional discography. Representative releases are Underdog, Turn It Up, KaeshammerLIVE!, Something New, and No Strings Attached. Apple Music artist 129133609 independently matches the identity, Victoria origin, jazz classification, current 2025 activity, and core discography. Kaeshammer's official biography documents seven JUNO Award nominations and several Western Canadian Music Award honours, including Best Jazz Artist in 2017 and Musician of the Year in 2002. A Music BC board profile identifies him in his own words as a touring and recording artist, songwriter, and producer, and documents his commitment to keeping studio and other professional work in British Columbia. MusicList therefore includes this profile in both the artist and producer directories. The same profile documents collaborations with musicians including Colin James and Randy Bachman, while current releases appear through Sony Music and Seven.One Starwatch.
