Musician Machine Gun Kelly finds himself in yet another spotlight

Musician Machine Gun Kelly regains self-identity - Musician Machine Gun Kelly is on a personal journey to rediscover his identity.

Machine Gun Kelly, born Colson Baker, is an American musician known for his eclectic career and personal life. The rapper, who rose to fame in the 2010s, recently released his seventh album, "Lost Americana."

Before the release of "Lost Americana," Machine Gun Kelly made headlines for dinner meetings with music legends. He had dinner with Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones in London, as well as DJ Amazonica, adding to his list of notable encounters.

In 2020, Machine Gun Kelly made a significant leap in his career with the release of his pop-punk album "Tickets to My Downfall." Produced by Travis Barker, the drummer of California pop-punk pioneers, the album became his first number-one album on the Billboard charts.

Machine Gun Kelly's music style has evolved over the years, moving towards a more rock-oriented sound. His late 2010s work features more guitars than beats and more singing than rapping, a departure from his earlier rap-focused albums.

Before his rise to fame, Machine Gun Kelly started rapping in high school and released several rap albums in the 2010s, all of which charted highly in the US. His success in the music scene was not achieved overnight, as he had been striving for recognition for years.

Machine Gun Kelly's personal life has also been the subject of much media attention. His on-off relationship with actress Megan Fox, which lasted for four years, was frequently covered by the media. The couple made public declarations of love, appeared in a GQ couples quiz, went through breakups, rehabs, reconciliations, and even had paparazzi outside couple therapy. They also welcomed two daughters together, with Megan Fox being the mother of Machine Gun Kelly's second daughter.

However, Machine Gun Kelly has expressed a desire to let his music speak for itself and not create more headlines after his personal life was exploited by the tabloids. He recently covered his old tattoos with black patches during the promotion of his new album "Lost Americana."

"Lost Americana," released on August 8, focuses on unhappy love and missing drugs, a departure from his previous themes of consumption and excess. The album marks a new chapter in Machine Gun Kelly's career, showcasing his growth as an artist and his willingness to explore new musical territories.

Machine Gun Kelly became a father at 19 and his daughter recently hosted his appearance at the Kids Choice Awards. Despite the ups and downs in his personal life, Machine Gun Kelly continues to make waves in the music industry, collaborating with singers from hardcore bands like "Sleeping with Sirens" and "Bring Me the Horizon" after his pop-punk album success.

As Machine Gun Kelly continues to evolve as an artist, fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this versatile musician.
