Mach-Hommy is a Haitian-American rapper. He is well-known for his reclusive nature, concealing his real name and face in all public appearances.[1] This behavior has led him to be described as "one of hip-hop's most elusive artists".[2] Though he predominantly raps in English, he also frequently incorporates Haitian Creole into his lyrics.

Early life

Mach-Hommy was raised predominantly in Newark, New Jersey, but also spent much of his childhood in Port-au-Prince. His father was a folk guitarist, and Mach credits his father's musical style as an influence on his own.[1]

Career

Mach-Hommy first received widespread attention after the release of his 2016 album, H.B.O. (Haitian Body Odor), which he sold via Instagram.[1][2] Mach pressed only 187 copies of the H.B.O. CD and sold them for $300 apiece, before eventually uploading the album to SoundCloud in 2017.[3] He released numerous other albums in the following years, many of which were sold at high prices through services like Bandcamp and never released on streaming services.[1][2]

In 2021, Mach-Hommy released his album Pray for Haiti on most streaming services. Mach stated that he would donate his share of profits from the album to the Pray for Haiti Trust Fund, a charity he established to fund educational services and institutions in Haiti.[1][2] Pray for Haiti also brought Mach a greater level of attention from the music press, with Pitchfork honoring the album with a "Best New Music" award and Rolling Stone describing it as "a modern hip-hop classic".[4][5]

Mach-Hommy has intermittently associated with the Griselda Records label. Though Mach was once considered part of the Griselda collective, he separated from them after a falling out with Westside Gunn, and as of 2017 Mach-Hommy was unaffiliated with the label.[3][4] Mach and Gunn would eventually begin collaborating again, however, as Westside Gunn served as an executive producer of Pray for Haiti.[4]

Personal life

In an interview with Billboard.com, Mach has revealed that he had in fact studied and was fluent in the majority of the Romance languages.[6]
