About

Marshall Bruce Mathers III, better known by his stage name Eminem, was born on October 17th, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. His zodiac sign is Libra and he is of German and Scottish ancestry. Eminem's parents were both musicians, with his father being a lead vocalist for a local band called Daddy Warbucks and his mother being a single parent who struggled to keep the family afloat.

Eminem began rapping at the age of 14 and developed his skills as an MC over time. He dropped out of high school at the age of 17 to pursue a career in music and began recording underground tapes with his group "Soul Intent". He released his debut solo album "The Slim Shady LP" in 1999 which gained him immense popularity due to its explicit nature. His follow up album "The Marshall Mathers LP" broke several records and made Eminem one of the most successful rappers ever.

Since then, Eminem has gone on to release 8 studio albums, win 15 Grammy Awards, receive multiple MTV Music Video Awards, write 3 books and appear in several films. He has been credited with helping launch the careers of many other hip hop artists such as 50 Cent and Dr. Dre through his label Shady Records. In addition to this, he has also become well-known for his philanthropic work - having donated funds to charities such as The Art of Elysium and The Kids Wish Network.
