Michael Gordon, better known by his stage name Mk.gee, is an American singer-songwriter, music producer, and multi-instrumentalist. His career began in 2017 with the song "I Know How You Get". He has since released two EPs and a mixtape. Life and career
Gordon is originally from southern New Jersey. His interest in music began when he was around 6 or 7 when he took piano lessons. When he was 11, he began to learn guitar. During high school, he joined a band with some of his schoolmates. However, Gordon preferred to play alone and began to record his own demos and play all the instruments by himself. After graduating high school, Gordon moved to Los Angeles to attend USC Thornton School of Music, but dropped out before graduating. Gordon released his first single "I Know How You Get" in 2017. The single was then included on his debut EP Pronounced McGee, released on May 18, 2018, along with three other singles "Roll with the Punches", "Over Here", and "You". In the same year, Gordon released his second EP Fool on November 25, preceded by the single "New Year". On May 22, 2020, Gordon released his first mixtape A Museum of Contradiction. The mixtape was promoted by the single "cz", which was released on February 22, 2020. Rhys Buchanan, a writer from NME, praised the mixtape, giving a four out of five stars rating, and wrote: "As acknowledged with the mixtape title, this release merges genres from different worlds with both maturity and ease. Mk.gee is an artist with a natural ability to pair his emotional palette with vast musicality. A release that feels like an important stepping stone – you sense stardom is looming large here. All three releases of Gordon have been home-produced by himself. Apart from producing songs for himself, Gordon has also produced for other artists, such as Omar Apollo and Dijon, for which he co-produced the former's mixtape Apolonio (2020) and the latter's debut album Absolutely (2021). In 2021, "Mountains", performed by Charlotte Day Wilson and co-written by Gordon was sampled in the track "Fair Trade" by Drake featuring Travis Scott from the album Certified Lover Boy. In 2023, Gordon produced and co-wrote the track "Kids Are Growing Up (Part 1)" by The Kid Laroi from his upcoming debut album The First Time. Discography
