Sascha Kegel Konietzko (born 21 June 1961), also known as Sascha K and Käpt'n K, is a German musician and record producer. He is the founder, frontman and "anchor"[2] of the industrial band KMFDM. Konietzko jokingly purports himself to be the father of industrial rock.[3] Keyboard Magazine wrote of him, "You won't find a more imaginative or effective keyboardist on the hard-core scene."[4]
