Malcolm McCormick, known by his stage name Mac Miller is a Jewish-American rapper from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In his freshman year at Taylor Allderdice High School, Miller decided to focus on his hip-hop career, later noting, 'Once I hit 15, I got real serious about it and it changed my life completely... I used to be into sports, play all the sports, go to all the high school parties. But once I found out hip-hop is almost like a job, that's all I did.' Miller, also a self-taught musician, plays piano, guitar and the drums.
Before his solo career, he was part of a rap group, The Ill Spoken with fellow Pittsburgh rapper, Beedie. Upon turning 18, Miller signed with Rostrum Records and released his mixtape debut, titled K.I.D.S. with the label in August 2010. Miller includes Big L, Lauryn Hill, The Beastie Boys, Outkast, and A Tribe Called Quest among his influences.
He also has a close relationship with fellow Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa, saying 'Wiz has been a big brother to me with this music thing so far. Our relationship is beyond music. He really is just my homie, whether I will be making music or not.'
On March 29, 2011, Miller released an EP called On And On And Beyond. The six-track work was produced by Rostrum Records. On May 11th His first single 'Knock Knock' premiered it's video on Youtube. By the end of May it has accumulated 1.5 million views.
