Macklemore

Ben Haggerty, also known as Macklemore, is a Seattle-based Hip-Hop/Rap artist.

After finishing a bachelor's degree he decided to pursue his musical interests and took a job at a juvenile detention facility, where he was involved in a project called "Gateways", engaging troubled youth through Rap. In 2000 he released the EP "Open Your Eyes" under the moniker Professor Macklemore, five years later he'd shortened the name to the current Macklemore and his full-length debut "The Language of My World" was released.
