CarterK

Atlanta, GA, USA

Carter Kraetsch, artistically known as CarterK, is an up-and-coming American singer/songwriter hailing from Kennesaw, Georgia. Demonstrating a passion for performance from a young age, Kraetsch often graced the center stage of musicals, plays, and cabarets throughout his formative years. While Kraetsch was already familiar with music production, having engaged in creating various parody songs throughout his middle/high school years, it was a collaboration with his best friend and fellow musician, Micah Deakins (Mikostar) that led to the formation of the pop duo band, HEARTACHE. This collaborative endeavor inspired Kraetsch to establish his own brand, CarterK, culminating in the release of his debut solo single 'halloween' in late 2023. Presently, Kraetsch is concurrently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Acting at university, while maintaining a dedicated focus on both his band, HEARTACHE, and his solo project, CarterK.
