Early Life & Education

Malcolm Jamaal Davis, better known as MadeinTYO, was born on April 12, 1992, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

As the son of a U.S. Army Sergeant Major, Robert Dozier Davis Jr., and his mother Angela Marie Davis (née Thompson), he grew up in a military family that moved frequently across the United States and abroad. His father’s career took the family through California, Texas, New York, Virginia, and eventually to Yokosuka, Japan, where MadeinTYO spent his teenage years.

It was in Japan that he adopted his stage name, inspired by Tokyo’s vibrant culture, even though he lived in nearby Yokosuka. He is of African American descent, with strong family ties to Georgia and Alabama through his parents’ Southern roots.

Raised in the Baptist faith, he attended church regularly as a child, and gospel music played a key role in his early cultural and spiritual life, offering stability amid constant relocations. MadeinTYO has one sibling—an older brother, Robert Dozier Davis III (born December 1, 1990), who performs under the stage name 24hrs.

The two shared a close upbringing and later moved together to Atlanta, Georgia, to pursue music careers, collaborating on projects like the 2016 EP 24Hrs in Tokyo.

For education, he attended and graduated from Nile C. Kinnick High School, a U.S. Department of Defense school located on the Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan. There is no public record of him attending college. After high school, he relocated to Atlanta with his brother, marking the beginning of his full-time journey into hip-hop.

Career

MadeinTYO, born Malcolm Jamaal Davis, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter best known for his melodic trap sound and breakout hit “Uber Everywhere.”

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and raised between Tokyo and Atlanta, MadeinTYO launched his music career in the mid-2010s after relocating to Atlanta, Georgia, with his brother 24hrs (formerly Royce Rizzy). Together, they founded the Private Club collective, blending Japanese-inspired aesthetics with Southern trap energy to create a unique sound that resonated with the new wave of internet-born rap.

In February 2016, MadeinTYO skyrocketed to fame with his debut single “Uber Everywhere”, released under Commission Music and Private Club Records. The viral anthem peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 10 on the Urban Radio chart, earning double platinum certification from the RIAA after selling over a million copies.

A remix featuring Travis Scott further boosted the track’s popularity, amassing over one billion streams across platforms and making MadeinTYO one of Spotify’s Top 5 most-streamed new artists of 2016.

That same year, he dropped his debut mixtape You Are Forgiven, which peaked at No. 122 on the Billboard 200 following its iTunes release in August. Follow-up singles like “Skateboard P” (platinum-certified remix featuring Big Sean) and “I Want” (gold-certified, featuring 2 Chainz) reinforced his reputation as one of the most infectious voices in modern hip-hop.

In 2016, MadeinTYO and 24hrs collaborated on the joint EP 24Hrs in Tokyo, infusing trap beats with sleek Japanese sonic influences. The following year, he released True’s World and was selected for the 2017 XXL Freshman Class, joining rising stars like Playboi Carti and XXXTentacion—a testament to his growing impact on the culture.

MadeinTYO’s debut studio album, Sincerely, Tokyo, arrived in October 2018, debuting at No. 98 on the Billboard 200. Featuring collaborations with 2 Chainz, A$AP Ferg, and Big Sean, the project showcased a more mature and introspective sound, with the single “Ned Flanders” standing out as a fan favorite.

He continued expanding his discography with a mix of solo and collaborative projects, including MadeinBOOMIN (2018, with Metro Boomin), Never Forgotten (2020, featuring J Balvin, Young Nudy, and Ty Dolla Sign), and Yokohama (2021, with UnoTheActivist). His 2023 project NEO TYO with Famous Dex cemented his global sound evolution, fusing trap with ambient and electronic elements.

MadeinTYO’s catalog now includes four studio albums, four mixtapes, two EPs, and nine lead singles, with standout tracks like “HUNNIDDOLLA” (2021) surpassing 82 million Spotify streams. His collaborations with industry heavyweights—such as Chance the Rapper on “The Man Who Has Everything” (2019) and A$AP Ferg on “Move Ya Hips” (2020, which peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100)—have further solidified his credibility and staying power in the hip-hop landscape.

In 2024, MadeinTYO leaned into independence, releasing TYO 808, an 18-track album highlighting his evolution through bass-heavy production and global influences. He also teamed up with Jay Worthy for back-to-back collaborations: Time After Time and Nino, both in 2024, earning critical praise for their creativity and sonic range.

MadeinTYO continues to innovate—teasing new music, merchandise drops (including exclusive custom T-shirts), and a rumored single titled “CRIMINALLY ATTACHED.” Between his Los Angeles lifestyle, dedicated fanbase, and continued social media engagement, MadeinTYO remains one of the most versatile and influential artists shaping modern trap and internet-era hip-hop.
