Born on 9th January 1971, in London, England, DOOM born Daniel Dumile later grew up on Long Island, New York, according to Pitchfork.
He began rapping in the late 1980s under the stage name Zev Love X with the group KMD, alongside his younger brother, DJ Subroc. Together, through KMD, they released two albums: 1991’s “Mr Hood” and 1993’s “Black Bastards”.

His brother was later struck by a car and killed shortly before the release of “Black Bastards”, which brought about the end of KMD. Then, by the late 1990s, DOOM took on his new persona, sporting the mask modelled after that of Marvel supervillain, Doctor Doom.
The artist spoke candidly about his decision to don the mask for his alter ego in a 2009 New Yorker interview.
“I wanted to get onstage and orate, without people thinking about the normal things people think about. Like girls being like, ‘Oh, he’s s**y,’ or ‘I don’t want him, he’s ugly,’ and then other dudes sizing you up. A visual always brings a first impression. But if there’s going to be a first impression I might as well use it to control the story. So why not do something like throw a mask on?” he said at the time.
