GMC Biography
GMC is a music producer/rapper from Co. Cork whose tracks on pirate radio gave him huge local success since 2004 with his hit "Not Tonight (The Bouncer Song)" which later peaked at number 12 in the Irish Charts. GMC has a unique style which brings witty, edgy and real lyrics over some of the catchiest beats you'll ever hear. While remaining true to his Corkonian heritage, he never tries to Americanize his music. His following radio hits "Blue Velvet" and "Hip Hop Rebels" became just as popular as his first, making him the most requested artist on the huge pirate radio scene in Munster at the time...

In 2006, he released his successful debut album "Diggin' A Hole", to the Irish Charts. The whole LP which was written, produced, mixed and recorded by himself. The “Fillin The Hole EP” was released to fans for a free download at gmcbeats.com on Xmas Day 2009 as a thank you for the continued support! His new album entitled “Shiny Filth” features styles ranging from hip hop to drum n' bass, and dance to Irish trad! Remaining true to his Irish heritage, he never tries to Americanize his music. He even does the odd rap as Gaeilge!

While studying for a degree in Multimedia in CIT, and later, a Masters in UCC, GMC has managed to secure performances at Electric Picnic, the RDS, Cork City Hall, The Marquee (supporting Flo-Rida), The Savoy, The Spiegeltent and Virgin Megastores, and appeared on various media sources like Today FM, Red FM, 96FM, Network 2, The Examiner & FM 104. He is also a regular performer at Munster’s biggest teenage discos.
As hip hop is increasingly becoming an important voice for the youth, GMC is also involved in hip hop/rap workshops with Gurranabraher Arts Project, CIT, Cork Music Works and the Triskel Arts Centre, and was selected to be a teaching supervisor for the group of Cork youths who travelled to Liverpool for performances in conjunction with Liverpool's Capital of Culture year in 2008.This has enabled him to work with a wide variety of people including budding lyricists, primary and secondary school kids, youths with alcohol/drug problems and people with special needs. GMC also helped a group of youths in producing and writing a hip hop song on the theme of anti-racism. This later won a song competition, and the prize being a day in a recording studio, with CDs pressed up!
Since his first album, GMC has focused on producing music for other artists around the country along with various other projects like: collaborating with the Cork Pops Orchestra for sell out gigs in Cork's City Hall, writing 96FM’s Summer jingle rap adverts, and working for bands State of Jay and J90 as their media manager through his own freelance media and design business. GMC also produced, recorded and collaborated with other Irish artists including: Collie, Anto Yau, Nu-Centz, Rawsoul, J90, MC Mighty, Bony, Bubba Shakespeare, Jackson etc.

Recently, GMC recorded a promotional track for politician, Alan Kelly’s European election campaign, which got huge media exposure and ranked as one of the highest Irish music videos on YouTube at the time. (Alan Kelly now has a seat in Europe!)
