Mac DeMarco, born Vernor Winfield McBriare Smith IV, is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, and producer known for his unique blend of indie rock, jangle pop, and lo-fi music.

DeMarco began his musical career in his teens, playing in various bands before moving to Vancouver in 2008 to pursue a solo career.

DeMarco’s subsequent albums, “Salad Days” (2014), “Another One” (2015), “This Old Dog” (2017), and “Here Comes the Cowboy” (2019), further established him as a significant figure in the indie music scene.
