MkX uses his individuality as his artistic superpower, and it’s been working in his favor. The artist/producer/songwriter has taken his unique perspective on performance art and sound design, turning heads everywhere from underground raves to major festival stages. MkX’s cultural rise isn’t just about his Billboard chart placements—it’s about creating spaces where queerness, eccentricity, and emotional bravery collide at full volume.
That collision reached a new peak with MkX’s WorldPride Main Stage performance where he showcased his original music, pairing it with self-designed hi-tech props, backdrops, and costumes. The performance’s high-energy choreography was created by the renowned Ian McKenzie (Lady Gaga).
This performance in front of 30,000+ sets of eyes and ears confirmed what insiders already knew: MkX is no longer an underground secret. He conceived this show with a full 360-degree creative vision in mind, bringing the audience on a mesmerizing trip he created just for them.
Beyond WorldPride, MkX has become a defining presence at multiple Pride events across the country. His MAYHEM RAVE performances—spanning New York and London—drew artists, Little Monsters, and club kids who crave something larger than what mainstream nightlife offers. When his track “WANT U BAD” charted across both Billboard and Mediabase, it caught the attention of Rolling Stone UK, which recently spotlighted MkX’s pop music production skills and unique perspective as a performance artist.
He recently embarked on Subculture Party’s 777 Anniversary Tour, which brought unapologetically queer electropop music to cities nationwide. “I’ve been going to Subculture since I moved to L.A. five years ago.
It’s such an incredible space that encourages everyone to express themselves to the fullest, which is something that’s so important to me when it comes to music and art. I’m beyond grateful to have the opportunity to bring my show to Subculture. I worked so hard putting together every aspect of my live show, and everyone in the audience at Subculture totally understood my artistic intention and execution. I’m so excited to join Subculture again for their L.A. party next month.”
A Berklee College of Music graduate originally from Boston, MkX has utilized his creativity and discipline to break into the L.A. pop scene. “I’ve released a ton of singles over the years, but I recently realized how much I wanted to capture this period of my life with a body of work. I’ve been making some of the best music I’ve ever made. I got to collaborate with writers I’ve looked up to for decades, like Justin Tranter and Bonnie McKee.
I’m bursting to share all of this music with the world. When I’m not working on my own project, I’m producing for other artists like Ayesha Erotica, That Kid, and 6arelyhuman. They each have such distinctive artistic identities and it’s been a blast working on their projects.” MkX constantly keeps his workflow pushing overnight until sunrise. The result is music that’s sonically thrilling, lyrically distinctive, structurally fearless and unmistakably queer.
