Macklemore 

Ben Haggerty, also known by his stage name Macklemore, was born the 19th of June of 1983 in Seattle, Washington. At his early years, he spent a lot of time with his friends listening to hip-hop and writing his own lyrics, although he didn't came from a musical family, his parents supported him.
He started his carreer in 2000 but after some years recording, collapsed due to drug abuse issues but then recovered in 2008 and celebrated two years of being clean by coming back with new songs such as "Thrift Shop", "My Oh My", "Can't Hold Us", between others.

This American rapper in my humble opinion, is a great musician and a great composer. I'm a huge fan of his music and his lyrics. Hope you like this song.

Important Songs
Para siempre
Un millón de primaveras
Estos Celos
Por tu maldito amor 
De qué manera te olvido
Entre el amor y yo
Lástima que seas ajena
