Born Colson Baker in Texas but raised in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, Machine Gun Kelly started making music as a teenager and created some waves in 2009 when he became the first rapper to win amateur night at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. The win seemed to only boost his confidence as he released mixtapes, including 100 Words and Running, Lace Up and Rage Pack. He also did a 2011 performance at South by Southwest was followed immediately by a meeting with Sean Combs also known as P. Diddy.
Known to rap with immense speed, rapper Machine Gun Kelly experienced a crazy rise towards the end of 2011 when he went from releasing self recorded mixtapes to working with major labels. From there, the rapper soared to A celeb status, with each of his albums charting to the Top Ten. A strained relationship ith Eminem, diving into the film world and some reality show appearances followed as the rap style of his albums like Hotel Diablo (2019) transformed into an emo-rock sound on collaborations with fellow rock drummer Travis Barker and on the 2020 album that Barker produced, Tickets to My Downfall, which hit the top Billboard 200. Kelly worked with Barker again in 2022 on the 6th, Mainstream Sellout.
