Playing several instruments from a young age, KINGmck(pronounced kingmac) has already had a very interesting career as a DJ. Spending his childhood in the state of Florida, he was naturally influenced with grunge rock as well as house music which ultimately led him to becoming a full-time Dj/producer. With his unique taste and selection in music, KINGmck is always loved by the crowd. His remix work which has been covered in several music blogs such as HYPEMACHINE and TOOMANYSEBASTIANS has proved his producing ability. Being booked for Korea's main festivals such as "Global Gathering Korea", "World DJ Festival", "Pentaport Rock Festival", and "Hi! Seoul Festival", shows how influential KINGmck is to the Korean club scene. Currently being the only Korean DJ to be sponsored by "Jagermeister", KINGmck also goes under the name MONGOLOID with partner Eugene Blake, bringing a newer vibe into the scene. Lately, he has gathered up with colleagues such as DJs, graphic artists, promoters, and designers and formed STARDIUMSEOUL. The crew have already launched their apparel line and are busy preparing for their launching party with the support of artists around the globe.
KINGmck is still at an early stage in his career, yet has already achieved much success. The future holds even more promise.
