Kiera McNally, his girlfriend, has a much happy relationship. They met when they were 14, became involved five years later, and are still together after seven years ("almost eight", she chirps in the background). She's also one of his best friends. They both grew up in Toronto and started making music together in 2011 under the name Mac & Devin Go to Town. Their first album, A Weird Feeling, was released in 2012 by Polyvinyl Records. It received critical acclaim and spawned several successful singles, most notably "Stupid Kid". In 2014, they released a second album, Another One Here Comes Now! The new record is more electronic than their first effort and it features collaborations with other artists such as Vince Staples, James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem), and Kezia Mason. In 2016, they released a third album, Menagerie. It's their first full-length album recorded with only live instruments and no samples or digital tricks used in production. McMarco got his start playing clubs in Toronto while developing his persona: an eccentric young man who plays guitar and sings about his odd life. He released his first EP in 2010 and followed it up with another EP two years later. His third album was issued in 2015 to great reviews from critics who praised his musical growth over the years.
