Mac DeMarco was born in 1990 in British Columbia. He started his musical career in 2008, working as a guitarist for different bands. Starting in 2009, he began releasing his music through Myspace, which was an early social networking site. His particular brand of psychedelic lo-fi music quickly gained a cult following, which led to the release of his debut album, Rock and Roll Night Club, in 2012. It was followed by the critically acclaimed 2 the same year and Salad Days in 2014, which became a massive commercial and critical success.
DeMarco's music genre is somewhere between indie rock, jangle pop, and psychedelic rock. He is known for his lo-fi sound, laid-back melodies, and experimental takes on songwriting, which make him stand out in a crowded field of indie rockers. His songs often have a melancholy and nostalgic feel to them, with themes ranging from love and longing to his mother's death.

Each song shows a different side of DeMarco's personality and musical style. These songs are a great starting point for someone new to his music.
One of the most memorable performances by Mac DeMarco was at Coachella in 2015. He played his song Together when his bandmate came onstage in a wedding dress, followed by DeMarco with a veil, both holding a bouquet of flowers. They got down on one knee and playfully pretended to propose to each other. It was a fun moment that summed up what makes Mac DeMarco so special: his playful yet authentic approach to music.
