Machine Gun Kelly and Stephan Jenkins met at an emo rock night in L.A. before the artist sampled his track … which is a big deal, ’cause SJ has turned down others before.
We caught up with the Third Eye Blind frontman Wednesday and asked him about how he and MGK linked up … ’cause Kelly recently sampled the song “Semi-Charmed Life” for his new track “Starman.”
Stephan says he and Machine Gun Kelly met at an Emo Nite event last year — a roving showcase where fans of the genre gather at different venues to hear DJs, or celebs like Jenkins, play some of their favorite songs in the emo genre.
Kelly introduced himself to Jenkins backstage, Stephan says … and, the two built up a rapport.
