Wayne Kramer, born Wayne S. Kramer on April 30, 1948, in Detroit, is a pivotal figure in American rock. As a co-founder of MC5 in 1963 with Fred ‘Sonic’ Smith, Kramer helped shape a raw, high-energy sound and a politically charged stage presence that influenced punk rock aesthetics and activism.

Notable LPs include The Guilt Trip (1992), The Hard Stuff (1995), The Brill Building (2012), and Lexington (2014).
