inverse K
Poet & Technologist

Bio

inverse K began writing and performing poetry in Manhattan’s East Village while studying engineering at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. This aptly named institution nurtured a passion for communicating science through art whenever possible, such that his first piece was written to present an argument against free will for a course in neurophilosophy.

Poetry naturally developed into rap, whose widespread appeal naturally led to more performances. inverse K has performed at the UN General Assembly, TEDx, and various other events focused on technology, sustainability, and the arts — from conferences and investor dinners to music festivals and college campuses. He’s opened for tech titans Steve Wozniak and Bill Nye, and has performed on stages graced by Bill Gates, António Guterres (UN Secretary General), Tim Berners-Lee (Inventor, World Wide Web), and veteran rappers Common and Big Daddy Kane.

The man behind the moniker, Michael Ketigian, consults as a brand strategist and copywriter. Regardless of form, his priority is telling stories that matter — with style.
