Rap superstar Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, grew up in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States.
Eminem was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, but his family moved to Michigan when he was a young child, and he spent most of his formative years in and around Detroit.
Eminem has often referenced his hometown in his music, and his early experiences living in poverty and struggling to make a name for himself in the hip-hop scene have been a major influence on his work.
