Based in Zurich, Marty McKay is a vocalist, orchestrator, writer and conceptual artist. His work delves deeply into personal psychology, critical thinking and socio critical paradigms. Starting in the early 2000’s, McKay has built an impressive body of work which includes multiple albums, global tours, and even an illustrated adult fiction novella.

Marty first introduced himself to the world as a hip hop DJ, but a long simmering desire to express himself vocally led him into rapping and singing. Finding solace in lyrical expression, McKay absorbed as much information as he could, reading endless books and articles to help him better understand the minds of the people around him. As a result, he developed an uncanny ability to put life’s struggles into words.

In 2004, McKay got his first big break touring Europe and US with the legendary Vanilla Ice. This brought him heightened exposure and new experiences to bring to his creative output. Inspired by his travels, he started to branch out into other styles, allowing alt rock melodies to blend with his well established aggressive hip hop. He released two independent albums; the gerne bending Sin’s Disciple in 2014 and the modern rock New York City Dreams in 2017.

In 2018, McKay has teamed up with his long time friend Canibus, a one of hip hop’s greatest lyricists, to release a an EP series entitled Matrix Theory. The EP’s are intended to redefine the role of a rapper in the modern world. Its creators show no interest in the lavish lifestyle that motivates many of the peers, but instead are driven by a desire to open their audience’s eyes to the frightening reality of the modern world. In the meantime, Marty produced over 15 high quality music videos.

McKay started releasing new singles from his upcoming album Forbidden Flame, where he created a new sub-genre he calls Romance Rap.
