The noise beneath the surface
For minds that don’t sleep
Stories for those who question
Concepts deeper than the algorithm allows
Marty McKay is a rapper, vocalist, and creative force based in Zurich.
Whether through a love song or a lyrical confrontation, Marty McKay speaks to those who feel too much, think too deep, and see what others deny.
His illustrated novella Dante’s Disciple extends that vision beyond music, diving into themes of corruption, truth, and the darker corners of the human psyche.
He began his artistic path as a turntablist and DJ, later touring internationally with Vanilla Ice, before evolving into a self-contained creative powerhouse. McKay writes, performs, and produces every release under his own label. He’s also the co-creator of the five-part Matrix Theory EP series with rap icon Canibus, pushing the boundaries of what rap can say – and what it’s for.
McKay is not afraid to go where others stay silent. During the Covid era, he was one of the only artists in Switzerland to publicly challenge government policies, releasing a #1 iTunes single and performing in front of tens of thousands. But protest is just one layer of his identity. His lyrics explore love, control, psychological unrest, and emotional survival. Always delivered with deliberate craftsmanship and conviction.
Known for blending post-nu metal energy with cinematic production and lyrical depth, his music cuts through the noise – raw, refined, and radically honest.
