KillerWhale

Music – Philadelphia

KillerWhale – The Ghetto Electro Funkateer on a Mission KillerWhale is what happens when Rick James takes the Millennium Falcon on a mission to spread funk throughout the galaxy. A fearless explorer of sound, KillerWhale fuses high-energy funk, 80s synth-pop, and hip-hop, delivering an electrifying experience that feels like a dance party in a cyberfunk fever dream. Behind the music is Nathon McIntyre—visionary artist, entrepreneur, and community builder—who brings the same rebellious energy to both the stage and the gym. As the owner of Bodyrock Bootcamp and Executive Training, a hip-hop-infused, community-focused gym in West Philadelphia, McIntyre has made it his mission to inspire people through movement—whether through music, fitness, or activism. Just as KillerWhale’s music challenges the industry's status quo, Bodyrock Bootcamp disrupts traditional fitness spaces by making health, empowerment, and culture inseparable. McIntyre’s impact has reached national audiences, including a feature in Season 5 of Netflix’s Queer Eye, where his passion for fitness and community took center stage. He is also the brother of Grammy-winning artist Macy Gray, proving that artistic genius runs in the family. KillerWhale’s upcoming debut album, The Ghetto Electro Show, is a high-voltage breakup record, dripping with synth-heavy grooves, hypnotic basslines, and unfiltered energy that turns every stage into a cosmic celebration. Through projects like Privacy Policy—a mysterious new music collective—and Open Sweat Jam, a live fitness and music festival, McIntyre is bridging the gap between music, movement, and social impact. With deep roots in Philadelphia’s DIY scene (his gym sits in the former location of the legendary Stalag 13 punk venue) and an unshakable belief in direct-to-fan connection, KillerWhale is more than a name—it’s a sonic rebellion. Whether wielding the mind-controlling Pop Gun in his upcoming comic strip or revolutionizing home fitness with his patent-pending Isometric FUNCC-Bag, McIntyre is here to break algorithms, hijack airwaves, and keep the funk alive. Prepare for liftoff—KillerWhale is taking over.
