Macklemore



Ben Haggerty, also known as Macklemore, is a Seattle-based Hip Hop 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, later shortening the name to Macklemore. His full-length debut The Language of My World was released in 2005.

Since 2008, he has collaborated with producer Ryan Lewis as a duo, fusing Pop elements to create chart-topping albums and songs, including "Thrift Shop", "Can't Hold Us" and "Same Love".
