Visual Dispatch, Volume 13: @mk.gee_’s sold-out show at the newly renovated @brooklynparamount“At the Brooklyn Paramount, Mk.gee made clear that he’s more than just a singer or a guitarist. He’s a musician, a performer. One who doesn’t want to be pigeonholed into a particular instrument, genre, or niche. And why should we box him in like that? Why demand clear labels and meaning from a musician when the beauty of music-making is that it’s alive, dynamic, ever-changing?“What’s special about an artist like Mk.gee is the certainty of uncertainty that surrounds him. You can be sure that you don’t know what’s coming next—but whatever it is will be refreshingly unconventional.”Catch the full article, photos, and videos at the link in our bio Photo, video, + text @ronniefalasco
