Early Life and Influences
Born Austin Richard Post in Syracuse, New York, in 1995, Post Malone spent his early years in a musically inclined household. His father, a DJ, introduced him to a wide array of genres, including hip-hop, rock, country, and more. At age 9, the family relocated to Grapevine, Texas, where Malone discovered his passion for guitar and briefly pursued it with the band Crown the Empire. After an unsuccessful audition, his musical aspirations led him towards heavy metal and eventually hip-hop.
Breakthrough with "White Iverson"
Malone's musical journey began in earnest when he recorded and shared a debut mixtape with classmates at age 16. Quickly gaining recognition for his talent, he continued to write and record tracks throughout high school. After graduating, he briefly attended college before relocating to Los Angeles in pursuit of his musical dreams. There, he joined forces with Jason Stokes and the BLCKVRD collective, releasing collaborative songs.
A pivotal moment came in 2015 with the release of "White Iverson," a track that went viral and established Malone's name. Its success led to a record deal with Republic Records and collaborations with prominent artists like 50 Cent and Kanye West. Malone's world tour with Justin Bieber further elevated his profile.
Rise to Stardom
Malone released his debut album, "Stoney," in December 2016, featuring guest appearances from Bieber, Kehlani, and others. Reaching the top five on the Billboard 200, the album was certified platinum multiple times. Its success was further cemented by the chart-topping single "Rockstar" in 2017 and the hit track "Psycho" in 2018.
Malone's second album, "Beerbongs & Bentleys," was released in 2018 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album's success was fueled by hit songs like "Better Now" and "Sunflower" (with Swae Lee). Malone's music continued to resonate with listeners, garnering multiple Grammy nominations and award wins.

Known for his distinctive tattoos, including the words "Always" and "Tired" under his eyes, Malone's appearance has become as recognizable as his music.
