Machine Gun Kelly Biography
Colson Baker, known professionally as MGK and formerly as Machine Gun Kelly, is a rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, and actor recognized for his genre-crossing work in the music industry. Baker first gained attention in the hip-hop scene after becoming the first rapper to win amateur night at Harlem's Apollo Theater. Following the independent release of four mixtapes, he signed with Bad Boy Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. His debut studio album, "Lace Up," reached number four on the US Billboard 200 and featured the single "Wild Boy" with Waka Flocka Flame, which marked his initial entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved triple platinum certification from the RIAA.
Baker's subsequent albums, "General Admission" and "Bloom," both achieved commercial success and gold certifications in the United States. The single "Bad Things," a collaboration with Camila Cabello from "Bloom," peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a Top 40 hit in multiple countries. His fourth album, "Hotel Diablo," incorporated rap rock elements and reflected an evolving musical style. With his fifth album, "Tickets to My Downfall," Baker shifted toward a pop-punk sound, collaborating with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and included the single "My Ex's Best Friend," which reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Continuing his partnership with Barker, Baker released "Mainstream Sellout," which also topped the Billboard 200 and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album. The album was supported by a stadium and arena tour across North America and Europe. Baker further explored genre-blending with the collaborative EP "Genre: Sadboy" alongside Trippie Redd and ventured into pop-rock with the album "Lost Americana." He also signaled a return to rap with the Fred Durst collaboration "Fix Ur Face."
In addition to his music career, Baker has developed a presence in film and television. His acting credits include roles in "Beyond the Lights," "Nerve," "Bird Box," and "The Dirt," in which he portrayed Tommy Lee. He appeared as Newt in "Project Power" and co-starred in "Midnight in the Switchgrass" with Bruce Willis and Megan Fox. Baker co-wrote and starred in "Taurus" and produced and co-directed the comedy "Good Mourning." With a career spanning hip-hop, rock, pop-punk, and film, Baker is recognized for his versatility and influence in contemporary music and entertainment.
