About Mac DeMarco

McBriare Samuel Lanyon DeMarco (born Vernor Winfield McBriare Smith IV; April 30, 1990) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. DeMarco initially emerged in the indie music scene in 2012, and has since released six full-length studio albums: his debut 2 (2012), Salad Days (2014), This Old Dog (2017), Here Comes the Cowboy (2019), Five Easy Hot Dogs (2023) and Guitar (2025). He additionally released the mini-albums Rock and Roll Night Club in 2012 and Another One in 2015, as well as the compilation album One Wayne G in 2023. In 2018, DeMarco established his own record label by the name of "Mac's Record Label". Before his commercial debut Rock and Roll Night Club in 2012, he made music by the pseudonym "Makeout Videotape" on Bandcamp. Throughout 2009 to 2010 he released albums under this name until in 2011 when he moved from Vancouver to Montreal, and started working as a solo artist, in which he didn't find any success, so he participated in medical experiments for money. In early 2012 however, Mac eventually signed to indie label Captured Tracks and released his debut extended play, Rock and Roll Night Club, on vinyl. Earlier, Green Burrito Records released the album on a limited edition 100-unit cassette run. His style of music has been described as "blue wave" and slacker rock, or, by DeMarco himself, "jizz jazz". After graduating from Strathcona High School in Edmonton in 2008, DeMarco became a backing musician. In 2011, DeMarco moved from Vancouver to Montreal to begin recording as a solo artist. Mac initially emerged in the indie music scene in 2012, and has since released six full-length studio albums: his debut 2 (2012), Salad Days (2014), This Old Dog (2017), Here Comes the Cowboy (2019), Five Easy Hot Dogs (2023) and Guitar (2025).
