Daniel Hernandez (born May 8, 1996), better known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, is a New York-born Mexican and Puerto Rican rapper known for his aggressive musical style, viral antics, and outlandish look. His rainbow dyed hair, rainbow grills, and over two hundred tattoos featuring many different variations of his stage name have also attracted attention.

Tekashi began writing songs as a teenager under the names Wallah Dan, Danny Loaf, and Tekashi69 before finally settling on 6ix9ine in 2017. That same year, Tekashi befriended Ohio rapper Trippie Redd who introduced himself to the hip-hop world on a large scale when their song “Poles1469” became a viral hit.

6ix9ine gained further attention in October 2017 with the release of his solo single “GUMMO”, a top fifteen hit on the Billboard Hot 100. He followed this success with his Nicki Minaj and Murda Beatz assisted single “FEFE” in July 2018, which peaked at #3 in the US. Another single, the Bobby Shmurda featuring “STOOPID,” gained attention on the charts as well before Tekashi released his debut album DUMMY BOY in November 2018. The album was a critical failure, but was a commercial success, peaking at #2 in the US despite being released halfway through the album tracking week.
