Artist Profile & Trivia – Machine Gun Kelly

Early Life & Background: Born Colson Baker on April 22, 1990, in Houston, Texas, Machine Gun Kelly (often stylised as MGK) spent parts of his early childhood abroad due to his parents’ missionary work — including time in Egypt and Germany. He later moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where his career would take root. Growing up, he endured bullying, family instability and economic challenges, all of which would feed into the raw emotional tone of his music.

Music Career Highlights: MGK began his recording career releasing mixtapes between 2007-2010 before signing with Bad Boy / Interscope in 2011. His debut studio album, Lace Up (2012), reached number 4 on the US Billboard 200 and was spearheaded by the single “Wild Boy” (featuring Waka Flocka Flame).

In 2018, MGK released “Rap Devil”, a direct response to Eminem’s “Not Alike”, which peaked at number 13 on the US Hot 100. He then made a major stylistic shift, embracing pop-punk with the 2020 number-one album Tickets to My Downfall produced by Travis Barker (of Blink‑182). Most recently, he released the collaborative EP Genre: Sadboy in early 2024 and announced the album Lost Americana for later in 2025.

Live Shows & Persona: Known for his dual persona — rapid-fire rap verses and gritty rock energy — MGK’s live gigs combine theatrical confrontation and emotional confession. His transformation from hip-hop to punk-rock has made him a unique presence in contemporary music. Tickets to My Downfall marked his arrival into rock-oriented live sets, opening up new stage aesthetics and audiences.

Trivia Highlights:

• Stage name “Machine Gun Kelly” is taken from the nickname of the Prohibition-era gangster George Kelly Barnes (who was known as “Machine Gun Kelly”).
• MGK’s favourite early rap influences included DMX and Eminem — and he cites rock bands like Blink-182 and Guns N’ Roses as formative for his current sound.
• He made his major label debut after performing at the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem and winning a freestyle competition in 2009—becoming the first-ever rapper to do so.
• His 2020 shift into pop-punk via Tickets to My Downfall not only topped the Billboards but introduced guitar solos, drum-fills and a full live-band experience into his shows.
• Aside from music, MGK has built an acting career — he portrayed Tommy Lee in the 2019 biopic The Dirt and starred in films such as Bird Box (2018).

Why You Should See Him at 3Arena: The 12 March 2026 show at Dublin’s 3Arena is set to bring the full scale of MGK’s evolution: rapid lyrics, guitar-driven anthems, and introspective songs that cross genres. Whether you came to see the rap-rock rebel or the punk-infused icon, this performance invites you into his world and amplifies it live.
