Family Life
Macklemore is 30 years old. Macklemore has two siblings. He became engaged to his girlfriend of seven years,Tricia Davis, on January 21, 2013. They have been dating for seven years. (The girl in the photo at the top). Macklemore is primarily of Irish descent. His song "Irish Celebration" is about how he is Irish and proud of it. Personally, it is one of my favorite songs.
Macklemore's support of LGBT right, including same-sex marriage, is
expressed in his single "Same Love", which also condemns homophobia in mainstream hip hop, society, and
mass media.
Macklemore is a fan of baseball, particularly the Seattle Mariners Upon releasing the music video for "My Oh My"—a song dedicated to the late sportscaster Dave Niehaus—Macklemore, still on tour, was asked to perform for the 50,000 fans who attended Opening Day 2011, the first Seattle Mariners game since Niehaus' passing. Afterward, he and Ryan Lewis were each awarded a
custom-named jersey embedded with a patch, the only other people to have the patch being those who played in the game. He has acknowledged baseball and hip hop music as not being "intrinsically linked", "a bunch of people that are Mariners fans probably don't consider hip hop, like, real music still" All proceeds to the song benefited the Rainier Vista Boys and Girls Club.
Macklemore really likes Cadillacs. That's why he wrote a song about them. "White Walls". When I went to a Macklemore concert in 2012 I remember he said that every city he goes to he would skateboard through the city. I thought that was really cool. He didn't just do the concert and move on to the next one. He would explore the new places he was going to. See how his fans live. That's something I admired about Macklemore.
