∙ McKenna dropped out of high school at 17 to jump into the festival and club circuit, touring England, Ireland, and France by van.
∙ In 2017, he won the BBC Music Introducing Artist of the Year award, beating out more than 15,000 competitors.
∙ Appearances at Lollapalooza, Coachella, and Glastonbury helped propel What Do You Think About the Car?, McKenna’s debut album, to No. 11 in the UK.
∙ His second album, Zeros, peaked at No. 2 on the UK charts, barely missing the top spot, which was claimed by The Rolling Stones.
