Kevin Ratajczak (born 7 August 1985) is a German singer, songwriter, and musician. He is best known as a founding member and primary lyricist of the electronicore band Electric Callboy, for which he provides the "unclean" vocals (growling and screaming) alongside "clean" vocalist Nico Sallach.
Ratajczak was born in Datteln on 7 August 1985. He is of Polish descent. [1] As a child, his first experience with harder music came from listening to his father's Deep Purple albums. [2] He would also later cite Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco as a vocal role model, as well as revealing that seeing Slipknot at the Grugahalle when he was 18 was his favourite concert. [3]
In 2010, Ratajczak became a founding member of Electric Callboy, providing its "unclean" vocals (growling and screaming) [4] alongside "clean" vocalist Sebastian "Sushi" Biesler, lead guitarist Daniel "Danskimo" Haniß, bassist Daniel Klossek, drummer Michael Malitzki, and rhythm guitarist Pascal Schillo. Biesler left the band in 2020 and was replaced by Nico Sallach on clean vocals. [5] Ratajczak and Sallach write most of the band's lyrics. [6] [7] They submitted their song "Pump It" to represent Germany as a wildcard selection in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest, but it was ultimately denied. [8]
Ratajczak is married and has two children. [9]
