Keram Malicki-Sanchez

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keram Malicki-Sánchez (born 14 May 1974) is a Canadian actor, singer, and writer born in Toronto (Canada) to a Polish father and Ecuadorian mother. He has appeared films such as John Q, Happy Campers, American History X, and Crazy/Beautiful, as well as television series, among them CSI, 24, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, ER, and Catwalk.

As a musician, he began his own band, Blue Dog Pict, at age fourteen. The band released three albums: The Picture Album (1990), Anxiety of Influence: a nodding into...? (1992), and Spindly Light Und Wax Rocketines (1995).

In 1990, Keram founded Constant Change Productions, an independent record label, and new media company that still maintains an active online community 15 years later. The "Freedom v2.5" site is dedicated to Freedom of Information and searching for the truth by way of intelligent discussion on all topics. It is also frequented by "Sky Pirates" a name once used for fans of Keram's band Blue Dog Pict, but later for those who were most loyal to the Constant Change ethic.

He also performs music under his own name and has songs on various original film soundtracks including MGM's Uptown Girls released on Nettwerk Records, New Line Cinema's "Happy Campers" and "Broken" starring Heather Graham and Jeremy Sisto.

Strongly entrenched in the New Media, he has been invited to speak on various panels concerning technology and the arts by the North by Northeast (NXNE) Music Conference, Toronto Sun and Toronto Star. While a student at Ryerson University in Toronto, in the first year of the University's New Media program, he co-authored (with Lee Towndrow, a student in the radio and television program) one of the first ever enhanced multimedia CD's released by a band - "Spindly Light und Wax Rocketines", Blue Dog Pict's third release, featured a MAC/PC compatible Myst-style video game about the legend of the Sky Pirates. Keram had to work directly with the CD manufacturer to create a method for putting the data on track 0 so that the listener could also just put the CD in their player and listen to music - something that wasn't yet being done at the time (circa 1995). Keram later was a student in the first years of UCLA Extension's Film, Television and Digital entertainment program.

As an actor, Keram has been incorrectly credited as "Karem Malicki-Sanchez" (in the film Rock My World) and Karn Malicki-Sanchez (Garbage Pail Kids).

He moved to Los Angeles in the late 1990's where he continues to work as an actor, write, and perform music live.
