简介：史蒂文马科维茨（生于1988年8月19日），以他的艺名Hoodie Allen而闻名，是一位独立的美国说唱歌手。 史蒂文马科维茨出生于纽约市，与他的兄弟丹尼尔一起在长岛普莱恩维尤的一个犹太家庭长大。他小时候开始写歌词，并会在家庭聚会上为他的朋友们表演。艾伦首先参加了亨廷顿车站的长岛学校，后来参加了Plainview - Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy高中。 长大后，他的绰号是“连帽衫”。他想要一个说唱歌手的名字，“会坚持人们的思想，有点滑稽，代表我是谁”，所以他选择了“Hoodie Allen”，这是一个着名的犹太电影制片人伍迪艾伦的戏剧。 在参加宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院期间，艾伦是阿尔法Epsilon Pi的兄弟。 2010年毕业并获得市场营销和金融学位后，他在Google的标准化AdWords转销商培训（START）计划中担任AdWords合作伙伴。他将于早上7点乘坐巴士前往山景城的Googleplex，在谷歌工作一整天，下午6点回家，写歌，回复粉丝电子邮件，并安排音乐会直到凌晨2点或凌晨3点。对此反思，艾伦说，“我的行动速度如此之快，即使我在谷歌那里也有很多事情发生，我觉得我在做两份全职工作。”他的梦想和激情是音乐，所以当他有机会做现场表演时，他决定离开谷歌。 2009–2012: From Bagels & Beats to Leap Year：Hoodie Allen originally was the duo of Steve Witz and Obey City (Samuel Obey, a childhood friend) on vocals and production, respectively. Their first two releases were the "Bagels & Beats EP" and "Making Waves" mixtape. These earned Hoodie a nomination for MTVU's Best Music on Campus Award in 2009. The single "UPENN Girls" also received notable attention. However, in 2010 Obey City ceased to produce in Hoodie for unknown reasons, and Steve continued making music with RJ Ferguson (aka RJF), giving himself the name Hoodie Allen. In June 2010, he released "You Are Not a Robot," which sampled 'I Am Not A Robot' by Marina & the Diamonds and which hit #1 on Hype Machine, an aggregator that collects the most-blogged about music in the world. After seeing the response, he spent the summer working, and finished his mixtape Pep Rally by September. The album was largely produced by RJF, and sampled songs from Death Cab for Cutie, Flight Facilities, Marina & the Diamonds and Two Door Cinema Club. He picked the name “Pep Rally” because he said that it “captured the energy of the record. Something new and exciting.” When asked about the writing process, Hoodie said: “Throughout Pep Rally, the ideas for samples were very collaborative. We would camp out in RJF’s basement for a weekend and not leave till we had 3 songs done—that was the mentality.” The mixtape was downloaded over 200,000 times. He self-financed a video for “You Are Not A Robot”. In July 2011, Hoodie released his third mixtape, Leap Year. It reached 250,000 SoundCloud plays in its first week of release. On the title for his mixtape, Hoodie explains: "It basically just talks to the leap of faith I took this year leaving everything else behind to be an artist." In support of the album, Hoodie headlined a 15 city tour across North America, including stops in San Francisco, New York City, and Montreal, with supporting act Fortune Family opening on a handful of stops. Previously, he had toured with The Cataracs, Das Racist, Chiddy Bang, Mike Posner, and RJD2. Hoodie collaborated with the cartoon band Your Favorite Martian to write the song "8-Bit World", which he raps in. He was also featured in CollegeHumor's "Jake and Amir" sketch series on multiple occasions and in Zak Downtown's "Rock The Show." 2012: All American：On March 4, 2012, Hoodie announced via Twitter that his upcoming EP would be titled All American. He decided on this title because he credits his success to freedom in United States, because he felt the songs showcased his best music to date, and because of a hometown restaurant with the same title. Hoodie spent five months developing the album, building tracks from scratch with his producer, RJF, instead of using sampled beats. Regarding the writing process, Hoodie stated that "I would describe it as liberating... It was like, 'Okay, I hear this idea in my head, I hear these original ideas, [and] I'm putting them and piecing them together.'" On March 29, 2012, Hoodie released the first single from All American entitled "No Interruption," as well as its music video. The music video for his second single on All American, "No Faith In Brooklyn (feat. Jhameel)," was released on April 9. All American was released on April 10, 2012 and debuted as the #1 album on iTunes. Over the months of April and May, Hoodie made a 22-stop tour across the US in support of All American, featuring Wax, Jared Evan, and others (varied from show to show). On March 23, 2012, Hoodie hinted at an upcoming announcement of a "UK tour for June," and officially announced the four dates on April 19 via Facebook. The I Work Better In The UK Tour was his first time performing overseas. The Excellent Adventure Tour, which featured G-Eazy, was announced on July 25, 2012. Hoodie performed in cities such as Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Lawrence (Kansas), New Orleans, Atlanta, Charlottesville, and Philadelphia. Following the success of All American, Hoodie released the new singles "Hey Now" and "Feel the Love" on YouTube. Both were made available for free download. More show dates were announced after the tour, including Santa Barbara, Santa Ana, Sacramento, two in New York City, Toronto, Chicago, Boston, and Silver Spring, which all sold out. 2013–present: Crew Cuts, Americoustic, and full-length album：On February 11, 2013, XXL premiered the music video for "Cake Boy". The single was later released on iTunes for purchase and quickly jumped to #19 on the Hip Hop/Rap top charts. On February 18, 2013, the music video for "Fame Is For Assholes (feat. Chiddy Bang)" (abbreviated FIFA) premiered on YouTube. It was also released for iTunes purchase and rose to #2 on the top Hip-Hop/Rap songs. Hoodie commented, "I wanted to write a track that mixed a classic doo-wop vibe with the more upbeat hip-hop style that my fans have come to love." Hoodie's mixtape Crew Cuts was released online for free via his website on February 20, 2013. It is made up of 11 tracks produced by several people including Illmind, DJ Fresh Direct, and Jared Evan and has six collaborations with artists including Jared Evan, G-Eazy, Shwayze, Chiddy Bang, Skizzy Mars, OCD: Moosh & Twist, and Chance The Rapper. Hoodie said that the mixtape had been downloaded over 80,000 times within the first day. The Cruisin' USA Tour with Aer and Jared Evan began on March 5, in support of Hoodie's new music. G-Eazy, instead of Aer, accompanied Hoodie on his Boston, Philly, and NYC shows. The tour concluded with Hoodie's biggest show at the time on April 13, at NYC's Roseland Ballroom which sold out a crowd of 3,500 people. On September 27, Hoodie opened for Passion Pit in front of a sold out crowd of 10,000 people at the University of Minnesota, becoming his biggest show by a wide margin. Hoodie performed "Make It Home" on Fuse alongside Kina Grannis on April 17. The performance was released nationally on Hoodie's YouTube and on Fuse TV on April 30. The single was released via Hoodie's YouTube as well as iTunes on May 15. During Summer 2013, Hoodie toured several college campuses as well as other venues. He performed in Vancouver, BC and Kelowna, BC shortly before he left for Europe on the Fake ID and a Passport Tour. On July 28, 2013, Hoodie announced that his acoustic EP, Americoustic, would be coming August 13. The following day he posted the dates for his Party With Your Friends Tour, which will take place in the US and Canada. A special fan pre-sale was also announced, offering 100 tickets from each show starting July 31 at 10AM. On July 30, 2013, Hoodie released the music video for "No Interruption (Acoustic)" and stated that Americoustic would be available for purchase and for free download. Hoodie's acoustic EP Americoustic debuted on August 13 as the #4 album on iTunes, but was also released for free on his website. During The Cruisin' USA Tour, Hoodie had his fans show their appreciation by having them chant that they wanted to see him on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Leading up to Roseland Ballroom, Hoodie started the hashtag "#GetHoodieAllenOnFallon" on Twitter to rally his fans along with a YouTube video directed at Fallon. After trending worldwide, Fallon replied the night of the concert asking to speak with Hoodie. On March 31, 2014, Hoodie released nineteen tour dates for his Hanging With Hoodie Tour this spring. He stated that this tour would be particularly different because only 500 tickets would be sold per show, the tickets would cost between $25-30, and that every ticket comes with a free meet & greet. Hoodie said this will give everyone a good seat and be with the most dedicated fans. Hoodie is expected to release his first full-length album in Summer 2014. He has said to have finished 24 songs and is in the process of choosing which songs to put on the album. Some of the song titles have been posted on social media sites by Hoodie. Following the album release, he plans to go on a worldwide tour including the US, Europe, and Australia which would take place in the fall of 2014. Fanbase：Leading up to the release of All American, Hoodie held a series of live streamed video chats via Ustream called "Hoodie Allen Mondays" or HAM. In it he would preview new music and hold trivia. The fan who tweeted the answer first would get to be called on-air. It was later changed to "Hoodie Hang" occurring Wednesdays streaming live on YouTube via Google+ hangout. The night before the EP was released, Hoodie announced that he would personally call every fan to thank them for buying All American. Over 30,000 signed up to receive a phone call. Hoodie has called half, and is still working on narrowing the list. Each tour fans are encouraged to volunteer and become a member of the Hoodie Mob for the concert they will be attending. These individuals are assigned certain tasks to promote the show locally in ways such as handing out flyers, hanging posters, and inviting friends to the event on Facebook. Depending on which tasks the person completes, they may gain early entrance into the concert venue for a pre-show meet & greet and possibly receive free Hoodie Allen merchandise.
