Born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, on October 17, 1972, in Kansas City,

between Kansas City and Detroit, Michigan; when he was 12, he and his
mother moved permanently to Detroit. A fan of rap music from a young age,
Eminem began performing at age 14. Although he dropped out of high school
and worked at odd jobs for a number of years, his focus remained on his
music. |
