K2mia is one of the online personas of long-time internet junkie Andrew Cowan. Andrew is essentially a one-man-band who has been toying around with acoustic and electric guitar for over 25 years. Andrew plays a Martin JC-16ME acoustic, Fender stratocasters, Brian Moore iGuitars and a Dean bass. He composes and records from home and uses a Roland Guitar Synthesizer and a Boss digital recording studio. Andrew has collaborated with other musicians via online collab sites and has produced a few songs as a result that are posted here, most of the tracks were solo projects.

His main influences are David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Alex Lifeson of Rush, Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead and Elliott Smith.

His work consists of instrumental and experimental rock pieces.
Why this name?
K2mia has been an alter ego of mine in the online gaming world for about 8 years, seemed natural to keep it. K2mia is best known for his CS mod websites www.uwc3.com and www.cswowmod.com
Do you play live?
Unfortunately, being a one-man band would make live performances of my music very difficult. I am very interested in online music collaboration and would love to work with others in that capacity - consider this an open invitation to anyone that shares my musical tastes that is interested in online collaboration.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Music lovers are now exposed to a much wider variety of music, some backed by the power of a major label and some unsigned yet still enjoying large fan bases from sites like myspace, garageband and soundclick. The internet will certainly impact how music is made and enjoyed going forward.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Unrealistic.
Band History:
Andrew played in a few bands in his youth in the CT area where he grew up, though never for more than the fun of it. Now he flies solo and composes/records all of the tracks involved with his music.
