American star Post Malone, who is followed by many Nigerian music fans, is the subject of a biography update from Kemi Filani News covering his age, height, relationships, wealth and career. The outlet describes him as a rapper, singer, songwriter, guitarist and record producer known for blending pop, rap and rock with a laid-back vocal style.
Early life
According to the profile, he was born in Syracuse, New York, on July 4, 1995, to Rich Post and Jodie. His father worked as a DJ when he was young, which exposed him to hip-hop, country and rock. When he was nine, the family moved to Grapevine, Texas, after his father took a job with the Dallas Cowboys handling concessions.
The profile says he took up guitar and auditioned in 2010 for the band Crown the Empire, but was rejected after his guitar strings snapped mid-performance. He recorded his first mixtape at sixteen and was voted 'Destined to Become Famous' by classmates at Grapevine High School. He also worked at Chicken Express as a teenager, and later left Tarrant County College before relocating to Los Angeles with his friend Jason Probst.
Rise to fame
In Los Angeles, Malone, Probst and other artists formed a collective called BLCKVRD. His single 'White Iverson' came out in August 2015, with a video dated July 19, 2015, according to the profile. It reportedly passed one million views within a month and reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. He signed with Republic Records in August 2015 and performed at Kylie Jenner's eighteenth birthday party that month.
The profile says Kanye West met him at a party and invited him onto 'Blur' from 'The Life of Pablo'. He went on to work with 50 Cent and Young Thug, and in 2016 opened the first leg of Justin Bieber's Purpose World Tour. That year he also released the mixtape 'August 26', appeared on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', and on December 9 put out the album 'Stoney', which includes 'Congrats' featuring Quavo and debuted at number six on the Billboard 200.
In February 2018 he released 'Psycho' with Ty Dolla Sign, which the profile says debuted at number two and later hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. His second album, 'Beerbongs and Bentleys', followed in April 2018.
