Marshall B. Mathers was born on October 17, 1972. His hometown is St. Joesph, Missouri. Eminem is of English, German, Scottish, and Swiss descent. He is the only child of Marshall Bruce Mathers, Jr. and Deborah R. "Debbie" Nelson. Bruce left the family shortly, thereafter, moving to California. During childhood, Eminem and Debbie traveled back and forth between Missouri and Michigan, rarely staying in one house for more than a year or two and mostly living with family members. As a teen, Eminem wrote letters to his father, Bruce. According to Debbie, all of these came back "return to sender."

Eminem's career started when he got signed to FBT productions, and recorded his debut album, Infinite. The subjects covered in Infinite included his struggles with raising his daughter Hailie Jade Scott Mathers while on limited funds. Infinite was largely ignored by disc jockeys, and the feedback Eminem received was "Why don't you go into Rock & Roll?", led him to craft angrier more moody tracks. A few years later, after his album Infinite, more albums were released. Which gave him the opportunity to perform with Elton John at the 43rd Grammy Awards. Which all led to making his most recent album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, that got released in 2013. Even before the release, the ablum was included in multiple "Most Anticipated Albums of 2013" lists. With his most recent album, he went on "The Monster Tour" with artist Rihanna this year.
