Transforming the outlandish concepts inside his brain into fully realized productions using a laptop and microphone, multi-talented vocalist, songwriter and producer MkX is quickly emerging as a fresh, innovative pop trendsetter. Juxtaposing electronica, hip-hop, future bass and trap production with dynamic and infectious songwriting, the Boston based artist is building an intense buzz via the three singles he’s dropped since late summer 2017.

His sultry pop/r&b debut track “The Look” currently has over 500,000 streams on Spotify, and its equally infectious follow-up “Ghost” – released the weekend before Halloween – is quickly closing in on 500,000. In November, he performed them as the featured artist at the Las Vegas Fashion Show Mall’s live fashion show. His latest drop is the seductive, slow burning trap-pop anthem “One Sided Love” – a song he wrote about the emotional rollercoaster of being immersed in unrequited love. He pleads, “Slam the brakes, so my heart don’t break…” Yet only hope is to “play hard to get to be your lover/thought I was close but I overshot…”

“I wanted to write a song that reflected what I was going through and that I know everyone who listens has gone through at one point or another,” says MkX, who is currently studying electronic production and sound design at the famed Berklee College of Music. “I’m really into creating records that have a unique level of detail and cleverness in the wordplay, but keep them a bit vague so that everyone can connect with them on a personal level. As a longtime pop super fan myself, I know how important it is as a listener to be able to connect with what the artist is saying. Lyrically, the song is like an inner-monologue of overanalyzing and being a bit paranoid. It’s a balance between something that’s not the most fun thing people deal with in everyday life, and an anthem quality that makes it engaging, like hey, we’re all going through this so we can vibe on it together.”

MkX’s music is the foundation and driving force of an overall branding vision that includes a unique and eye-catching fashion style he describes as “very city meets 80s futuristic meets 90s throwback. I love incorporating my love for technology into my clothes and into the show. I created all of the video backdrops that play behind me during the show. Each song that I write has a visual concept and aesthetic that goes hand in hand with the track. I digitally replicate this as a video backdrop to give audience a glimpse of what goes on in my brain during my creative experience.”

MkX is dropping his latest track “One Sided Love” this Summer. The track was written and produced by Mkx who eventually teamed up with DJ Mike D (Adele, Beyonce, Ariana Grande) for a remix of the track. The video was shot by award winning director Matt Alonso (Pitbul, Odd Future, The Game, Justin Timberlake) and will be releasing this Summer as well.
