Gay pop superstar, TV personality, and nightlife legend, Jonny "The Gay Pimp" McGovern blazed onto the New York scene in 2000 with his satirical mix of his character comedy and dirty gay hits and his fire continues to burn bright. Jonny produced his debut album Dirty Gay Hits in collaboration with IDM producer, Secret Agent Gel. Together they crafted a collection of Gay Pimp songs such as Soccer Practice, Somethin' For the Fellas', Looking’ Cute/Feeling’ Cute, and Hey Lil' Raver Boi.
Jonny then created a dirty gay teen pop style nightclub act with a bevy of soccer/raver boi dancers, a gay rapper, and fierce drag queens workin' the runway. Jonny headlined all over Manhattan including the legendary CBGB's, Joe's Pub, Splash Bar NY and LUXX. He opened for Chicks on Pedant, the Electro Clash Festival as well as at his own white hot parties such as Boys Gone Wild and The Rambles at The Park.
The Gay Pimp became an Internet and international phenomenon. Teaming up with Broadway veteran Richard Jay-Alexander(Les Miz,Bette Midler’sKis's My Brass Tour) and Director Peter Martinez, Jonny created a video for Soccer Practice, which debuted in the top five of the National Video Club chart and was downloaded over 2.2 million times from GayPimp.com and well as getting play on MTV European. Jonny also toured nightclubs around the country as Gay Pimp and headlined the legendary Caroline’s On Broadway in his own stand-up comedy/music/variety show,You Go, Gay.
