Maximilian Hecker is a German musician from Berlin, known for ethereal pop or dream pop music, similar to Radiohead. He himself describes his songs as melancholy pop hymns. He learned to play the piano, the drums and the guitar and did his A levels at Freiherr-vom-Stein-Gymnasium in Bünde in 1997. Hecker came in contact with Berlin's music-and cultural scene in 2000, when the demo of his song Cold Wind Blowing was used for the score of German director Esther Gronenborn's movie alaska.de. Soon after that, the Berlin based record company Kitty-yo, having released the movie's soundtrack, offered Hecker a record deal.
