Mac Miller's Death Location
Los Angeles

Raised in Point Breeze, he taught himself several instruments as a child and began taking rap seriously as a teenager, releasing early mixtapes before signing with Rostrum Records.

His 2011 debut album, Blue Slide Park, made history as a chart-topping independent debut, but his career did not stay in one lane.

Across projects including Watching Movies with the Sound Off, GO:OD AM, The Divine Feminine, and Swimming, he pushed toward richer songwriting, jazz and soul textures, candid self-reflection, and production work under creative aliases such as Larry Fisherman.

Swimming received a posthumous Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album, and Circles, completed with producer Jon Brion after his death, became a final statement of vulnerability and musical grace.

Mac Miller died in Los Angeles on September 7, 2018, at age 26.

He is remembered by family, friends, collaborators, and fans as a generous artist whose humor, openness, and devotion to craft made people feel less alone.

Mac Miller was the stage name of Malcolm James McCormick, a Pittsburgh-born rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer whose public life was defined by curiosity and musical growth.
