Colson Baker (born April 22, 1990), better known as '''Machine Gun Kelly''' or '''MGK''', is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor from {{UsefulNotes/Cleveland}}, {{UsefulNotes/Ohio}}.

Getting his name from his fast, rapid-fire lyrics, he released his first mixtape in 2006. In 2009, he became the first rapper to win at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, boosting his rise to popularity.

In 2011, while at SXSW, he caught the attention of Music/SeanCombs, who signed him on to his record label, Bad Boy Records. His first EP, ''Half Naked & Almost Famous'', dropped in 2012, with his debut album, ''Lace Up'', arriving later that same year, which met with success. Since then, he has been nominated for a number of award categories, while his music continues to chart.

Beginning in 2019, he started to [[GenreShift move away from hip-hop towards]] PopPunk, forming a strong collaborative relationship with Music/TravisBarker of Music/Blink182 fame that resulted in far greater commercial success than he'd previously seen, and sparking a revival in mainstream interest in the genre in TheNewTwenties.
