Machine Gun Kelly, born Colson Baker on April 22, 1990, is an American musician, rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor. He’s known for his genre duality of alternative rock and hip hop.
He released four mixtapes between 2007 and 2010 before signing with Puff Daddy’s Bad Boy Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. His debut studio album, Lace Up (2012), peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200, led by the single “Wild Boy” (featuring Waka Flocka Flame). The single marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and received triple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His second and third albums, General Admission (2015) and Bloom (2017), were critically acclaimed and commercially successful. The latter was supported by the single “Bad Things” (with Camila Cabello), which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. His fourth album, Hotel Diablo (2019), experimented with rap rock.
In 2020, Machine Gun Kelly released his fifth album, Tickets to My Downfall, which was a complete departure from hip-hop in favor of a pop-punk sound and aesthetic. Its production was entirely helmed by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 and contained the single “My Ex’s Best Friend” (featuring blackbear), which peaked within the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. His sixth album, Mainstream Sellout (2022), matched its commercial success, although critical reception was mixed.
Machine Gun Kelly also pursued acting, with his first starring role in the romantic drama Beyond the Lights (2014). He has since appeared in the techno-thriller Nerve (2016), the horror Bird Box (2018), the comedy Big Time Adolescence, and portrayed Tommy Lee in the biopic The Dirt (both 2019).
Baker’s family moved around the world throughout his childhood and he lived in Egypt for the first four years of his life. He also lived in Germany and throughout the United States in Chicago, Denver, and Cleveland. His mother left home when he was nine years old and he and his father moved to Denver to live with Baker’s aunt. Baker’s father fought depression and unemployment. He says he had just two school outfits and endured bullying from children in his neighborhood.
Baker began listening to rap in the sixth grade when he attended Hamilton Middle School, a school with an ethnically diverse student body in Denver. While he lived in Cleveland, he attended Shaker Heights High School. The first three rappers that got him into hip hop as a child were Ludacris, Eminem, and DMX, with Baker gaining interest in the genre after listening to DMX’s “We Right Here” from the album The Great Depression (2001).
