It’s his youthful energy, attention to song structure, and melodic content that elevates him to a peerless level.

McKee’s crossover success has helped him to achieve millions upon millions of YouTube viewers, underscoring his emergence as one of today’s most unique and influential artists. His song “Drifting” became one of the first YouTube viral videos, logging nearly 60 million views. He also curates his own annual guitar retreat called Musicarium.
