Mk.gee is slated to perform tonight on Saturday Night Live. For those unfamiliar, Mk.gee is a singer and producer who has been making waves in the music world recently. It’s really not surprising that the “Dream Police” hitmaker will be performing tonight on SNL. However, some relatively new fans may not know how to pronounce his name. For what it’s worth, neither does tonight’s host, comedian Bill Burr.

Let’s look at three fast facts about tonight’s SNL guest Mk.gee… including how to pronounce his name properly.
1. Mk.gee Told Us in the Past How to Pronounce His Name
The quick answer: Mk.gee is pronounced “McGee”.
In fact, Michael Todd Gordon, a.k.a. Mk.gee, told everyone how to properly pronounce his name in his 2018 EP, which is aptly titled Pronounced McGee. The producer and singer/songwriter has only been active under the moniker since 2017, so he made it a point to let people know how to say his name from the get-go. Mk.gee released another EP that year titled Fool as well.
2. He’s a Multi-Instrumentalist
The 27-year-old artist has made quite a name for himself, and he’s been blowing up since the release of Two Star & The Dream Police earlier this year. However, it’s hard to pinpoint his exact genre; his tunes are just that unique. Some would describe his work as alternative, experimental, soft-psychedelic, or just plain indie.
Part of what makes Mk.gee such a hard act to define comes down to his wide use of instruments. Mk.gee is a multi-instrumentalist who contributes a number of different sounds to his work, from his voice to the guitar to the piano to the synthesizer.
3. Mk.gee Has Worked With Some Big Names Thus Far
Clearly, Mk.gee can stand well on his own. But he’s also worked with quite a few other artists. He has a few songwriting and producing credits under artists like Fred Again, Omar Apollo, Dihon, and Kacy Hill. Mk.gee also revealed recently that he will be working with Justin Bieber on his upcoming album; the first one from the “Baby” hitmaker in over three years.
We can’t wait to see Mk.gee’s performance on tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live!
