马克里莫演艺经历
2012年11月多伦多，Macklemore 在 The Heist 巡回演唱会中Macklemore在常绿州立大学获得了学士学位。2000年，他以Professor Macklemore名字发行了EP《Open Your Eyes》。2005年，他发行了自己 的首张正式专辑《The Language of My World 》。
2009年9月，他发行了Mixtape《The Unplanned》，他以自己的毒品经历创作出了大受好评的歌曲“Otherside”。
Macklemore每年会给粉丝们举办一个披萨派对，粉丝们有机会通过歌唱，画画等方式来得到与自己偶像见面的机会。
在个人方面， Macklemore并没有出生在一个音乐世家。但是其父母都很支持儿子的音乐旅程。Macklemore有一个职业是英语老师的兄弟。
从社会身份和地位来讲，Macklemore是一个受压迫受歧视的人。Macklemore曾是一个吸毒者，在吸毒的过程中他的名声大跌，也让他自己无所适从，因此开始戒毒。但Macklemore已经成功戒除毒瘾，并在一步步走回乐坛。
也正因如此，他的歌曲里面包含着数个对消费主义、种族和毒瘾的看法和观念。人们不应该戴有色眼镜歧视他。

发行于2012年9月的一首满是消费观念的说唱歌曲，让Macklemore的人气暴涨。这首歌取得成功代表着世界对他个人的肯定，也代表着世界对消费主义的思考再次升华。旧货店专辑封面
在美国DigItal Song top40中，Thrift Shop创造了10周冠军，打破了2009年轰动全世界的组合the black eyed peas的代表作“I gotta feeling”的记录。这首旧货店已经在全球翻唱数百次。
96-96-82-77-66-55-42-35-28-21-13-1-11-12-14（有待更新，登榜第13周跨年，当时排行第10）这首歌创造了美国公告牌56年最长周数回冠记录，此前屈居5周亚军是被Harlem Shake压住。（注：Harlem Shake空降冠军并连冠5周，正是billboard新规则变动——简言之即下调了数字下载的比例，大幅增加了流媒体的比重——这种影响下的受益现象之一）

Draped in a leopard mink girl standing next to me

Not for real ask your grandpa
Can I have his hand-me-downs? Thank you
Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Dookie Brown leather jacket that I found digging

Yo that's only fifty dollars for a t-shirt quot
Limited edition let's do some simple addition
Fifty dollars for a t-shirt that's just some ignorant bitch shit
I call that getting swindled and pimped shit

I'm in this big ass coat
from that thrift shop down the road
Is that your grandma's coat?
