The multi-instrumentalist has enjoyed propulsive traction since the release of his debut album in February – yet, his career already began with co-signs from Frank Ocean and collaborations with Dijon and Omar Apollo since his 2020 EP ‘A Museum of Contradiction’ . Earlier this year, Mk.gee made his live television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live with a performance of ‘Are You Looking Up’.
Watch the two SNL performance clips below. In recent months, Mk.gee has also been praised by Eric Clapton , who told YouTuber The Real Music Observer that his music “sits in a bit of a pop category for me,” and that “it’s unique.
He has found things to do on the guitar that are like nobody else.” Clapton also compared Mk.gee’s guitar skills to Prince , saying “The same when I first saw Prince, it was like we’re safe.
Just to know it’s there is enough”. NME attended the first night of Mk.gee’s recent three-day residency.
