Alejandro Ortiz Jr (Mercy) was born Wednesday September 6th, 2000 in the state of Pennsylvania. Raised in a small town called Lebanon surrounded by music since birth it was surely no coincidence that growing up he'd be doing it full time. As a kid he was bullied because of his former lazy eye, heart broken by females, and didn't really have many friends to confide in or do 'normal' things a kid would do with. Ultimately, these factors led to him exploring his love for music rather than trying to chase love and popularity among his peers. With rising acts quickly emerging in the early 2010's like Drake, The Weekend, Tory Lanez, and Bryson Tiller, Mercy quickly found his passion in writing melodies and love songs. Releasing his first original song "Can't Fall In Love" in December of 2015, he quickly began to release remixes and originals (which have since been removed from his SoundCloud and/or streaming services), He stopped releasing music until 2017 when he returned to the SoundCloud scene with songs like "Questions", "Dubbing You", and "Her Interlude" continuously releasing music every week until his first self-produced EP "Nonartificial" released December 8, 2017.
