Born and raised in Yorktown, Virginia, Jonathan Mack, known professionally as mynameisntjmack, grew up in a military-centric area near Langley Air Force Base. His upbringing in a conservative household limited his exposure to hip-hop, but he found solace in music as a means of self-expression. Despite these constraints, he developed a passion for music, initially freestyling over YouTube beats and uploading demos on SoundCloud. This early experimentation laid the foundation for his unique sound, blending introspective lyrics with diverse musical influences.

During his college years as an English major, Mack honed his storytelling abilities, which later became a hallmark of his songwriting. The combination of his literary background and musical experimentation allowed him to craft songs that resonated deeply with listeners, setting the stage for his emergence in the hip-hop scene.

In 2023, mynameisntjmack released his breakout EP 'BOOKMARK,' a six-track project featuring collaborations with artists like Tommy Richman and Kwame Adu. The EP garnered significant attention, amassing over 100 million streams and establishing him as an innovative force in hip-hop. His collaboration with Tommy Richman on the track 'BUNKER/PREROLL' resonated with audiences, addressing themes of insecurity and self-doubt, and peaked at #6 on Spotify’s US Viral Chart.

Following the success of 'BOOKMARK,' he continued to release impactful singles such as 'american spirit' and 'argue typing,' both of which received critical acclaim for their introspective lyrics and genre-blending production. These releases solidified his reputation as a compelling storyteller and versatile artist, capable of navigating various musical landscapes while maintaining authenticity.

In early 2025, mynameisntjmack released the single 'chase,' featuring fellow Virginian rapper Tommy Richman. The track served as the final preview before unveiling his highly anticipated mixtape, 'BOOKMARK 2.' 'chase' delves into themes of ambition and self-reflection, showcasing his growth as an artist and his ability to craft thought-provoking music.

To support the release of 'BOOKMARK 2,' he joined Tommy Richman on the Coyote Tour, performing across major cities in North America and Europe. This tour not only expanded his global reach but also allowed him to connect with a broader audience, further cementing his position in the hip-hop community. His live performances were praised for their energy and authenticity, reflecting his dedication to his craft and his commitment to delivering meaningful experiences to his fans.
