Daniel Hernandez was born in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York City, on May 8, 1996, to Natividad Perez-Hernandez, a factory worker and house cleaner from Atlixco, Puebla Mexico, and Daniel Hernandez, Sr. from Ro Piedras, Puerto Rico. In 1988, his mother immigrated to the United States to find a better life and opportunities. Hernandez played baseball and soccer as a youth and was drafted to a Major League Soccer team at the age of 13, but his mother died because she did not want her son to be taken at a young age. Hernandez's first name is tattooed on the right side of his head. Hernandez and his older brother, Oscar Osiris Hernandez (born August 25, 1994), were both raised in a church from an early age. Hernandez would sing at mass and was often chosen from the Bible; his favorite passage was Psalm 121. He attended Juan Morel Campos Secondary School and high school for elementary school, and he was a student at Legacy High School from 1959 to 1960. About the tenth grade, he left high school.

Every day, I would pray: Please, please change my life... God, please change my life; I'm a good student. Please help me make a better life. I have a baby, but Pampers can't even buy them; please help me, please make my life a better place, please 'Gummo' has arrived, and life has changed. And then I was like hell, because God is real. I knew if I prayed every day because God is real. "My life has changed" since being a student.

Music career

Hernandez first began rapping in 2012 after meeting Peter "Righteous P" Rodgers, the founder of New York's Hikari-Ultra, when he first encountered Hernandez, who said he had the look of a rapper and suggested he rapped because of this.

Hernandez began releasing rap albums in 2014, beginning with "69" in August 2014, and "Who the Fuck is You" and "4769" in October 2014, the latter of which was his first collaboration as a lead artist with two rappers from the Brooklyn collective Pro Era, J.A.B. Dirty Sanchez and Irma Sanchez. He released several songs and videos over the next three years, including "Scumlife", "Shinigami" (named after the Japanese death god Shinigami from Death Note), "Yokai" and "Hellsing Station), attracting widespread criticism for his aggressive rapping style and use of anime as music video graphics. FCK THEM, a Slovakia-based music company, released several of his early songs. He adopted the stage name "Tekashi69"; "Tekashi" refers to Japanese anime, which he was a fan of; "69" refers to both the 69 sex position and the yin-yang symbol.

He later became a friend of Righteous P. Hernandez, the younger half-brother of Righteous P. Hernandez, after Hernandez discovered Hernandez that they were going to sign a massive bill involving suspected illegal musicians, the surfacing of misconduct charges against him, and a conflict over suspected stolen instrumentals. Hernandez, a rapper named TrifeDrew who had previously worked with him on music videos, was soon to focus on video games instead of music.

Hernandez appeared on "Poles 1469," a television show from April 2017. Hernandez rose to fame on social media in July 2017 after a Facebook post went viral on both Reddit and Twitter in July 2017.

"Billy" and "Rondo" premiered on the Billboard Hot 100 after the release of Day69, two songs from the album, with "Billy" and "Rondo" debuting at number 50 and "Rondo" at number 73.

Both of the songs are included in his second studio album, TattleTales, which was released on September 4, 2020. Hernandez expressed disappointment with the album's treatment, insisting that they did not have a new album on the main pages of their storefronts and not including him in their playlists, which are extremely popular on the charts, with him saying he was victimized by the music industry as a result of his cooperating. Hernandez was profiled in a Hulu true crime documentary film called 69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez in November 2020. Although an archival video of Hernandez is included in the film, he was not interviewed for the film.
