Tyler, The Creator Biography

Tyler, The Creator is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on March 6, 1991 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, United States. Tyler Gregory Okonma was born on March 6, 1991 in Ladera Heights, California, the son of a Nigerian father with Igbo ancestry and an American mother of mixed African-American and European-Canadian descent. He never met his father and spent his early life living in Ladera Heights and nearby Hawthorne. At the age of seven, he would take the cover out of an album’s case and create covers for his own imaginary albums—including a tracklist with song lengths—before he could even make music. At the age of 14, he taught himself to play the piano. In his 12 years of schooling, he attended 12 different schools in the Los Angeles and Sacramento areas. He worked at FedEx for just under two weeks, and Starbucks for over two years. Okonma took his stage name from a Myspace page he used to post his creative endeavors.

Following a large contribution to Odd Future’s early work, Tyler released his debut solo mixtape Bastard in 2009. After releasing his debut studio album Goblin via XL Recordings in April 2011, he signed a joint deal with RED Distribution and Sony Music Entertainment for himself and his label Odd Future Records. With his gritty, horrorcore-influenced earlier releases, Tyler was often criticized for his use of homophobic and misogynistic slurs in his lyrics. He released the albums Wolf (2013) and Cherry Bomb (2015), the latter of which was considered to be a contrast from his previous releases as he experimented with a more melody-focused and jazz-fused sound. His fourth album Flower Boy (2017) was met with widespread acclaim. His fifth album Igor (2019) was also acclaimed by critics, became Tyler’s first number-one album on the Billboard 200, and won Best Rap Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards.

In early 2011, Okonma was gaining the interest of a number of figures in the music industry, including Steve Rifkind, Jimmy Iovine, Rick Ross and Jay-Z. Okonma and the rest of Odd Future eventually signed a deal with Red Distribution/Sony in April 2011. His debut studio album, Goblin, was released May 10, 2011. Okonma and fellow Odd Future member Hodgy Beats made their television debut on February 16, 2011 when they performed “Sandwitches” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. On March 16, Okonma and Hodgy performed “Yonkers” and “Sandwitches” at the 2011 mtvU Woodie Awards, being joined by other members of Odd Future during “Sandwitches”. During an interview with Okonma for Interview, Waka Flocka Flame expressed his interest in collaborating with the Odd Future frontman to direct a music video for him. In early 2011, Okonma told fans through his Formspring account that his second album would be called Wolf and it was scheduled to be released in May 2012. Okonma also announced that Odd Future would establish their own TV show called Loiter Squad. On September 8, 2011, that the show was finally confirmed as a 15-minute live-action show composed of various sketches, man on the street segments, pranks and music made by Odd Future. Dickhouse Productions, the production partnership that created Jackass, was scheduled to produce the show.

Tyler has won a Grammy Award, a Brit Award, and an MTV Video Music Award. He created the cover art for all of Odd Future’s releases, and has also designed the group’s clothing and other merchandise. In 2011, Tyler started the clothing company Golf Wang. In 2012, he began hosting an annual music festival named the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. He created his own streaming service app named Golf Media, which ran between 2015 and 2018 and contained original scripted series from Tyler and a live stream of each Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.

Okonma co-founded the alternative hip hop collective Odd Future in 2007, alongside Hodgy, Left Brain and Casey Veggies. They self-released their debut mixtape, The Odd Future Tape, in November 2008. On December 25, 2009, Okonma self-released his first solo mixtape, Bastard. The mixtape was eventually ranked 32nd on Pitchfork Media’s list of the Top Albums of 2010. On February 11, 2011, Okonma released the music video for “Yonkers”. The video received attention from several online media outlets. An extended version with a third verse was made available on iTunes. Okonma won Best New Artist for “Yonkers” at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. Okonma’s thematic content in these first two solo projects led fans and publications alike to categorize him in the horrorcore scene, although he vehemently rejected his connection with it.

Tyler Gregory Okonma (born March 6, 1991), better known as Tyler, the Creator, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, music video director, actor, comedian, and fashion designer. He rose to prominence in the early 2010s as the co-founder and de facto leader of the alternative hip hop group Odd Future, and has performed on and produced songs for nearly every Odd Future release.

Okonma has identified as an atheist and has had explicitly anti-religious lyrics in his music, especially on the mixtape, Bastard, and the album, Goblin. He also said some things that suggest he is an agnostic. He has been an avid skateboarder since 2002 and collects BMX bicycles. Okonma has been the subject of speculation regarding his sexuality and has made numerous direct references in lyrics and interviews to having had same-sex relationships or experiencing same-sex attractions.

Okonma has also been criticized for his graphic depictions of violence against women and lyrics that observers have called misogynistic. Brent DiCrescenzo of Time Out Chicago writes that rape is a “predominant theme” of Okonma’s 2011 album Goblin and Hermione Hoby of The Guardian writes that Okonma’s “rape and murder fantasies (are) graphic enough to send the vomit rising along with the bile.” The Fader tallied 68 uses of the term “bitch” over Goblin’ s 73 minutes. The music critic Allison Stewart wrote that “critics (read: mostly white guys) have largely given [Okonma] a pass” for the album’s many “homophobic and misogynistic slurs and rape and murder fantasies”. An open letter questioning the lack of media condemnation of Okonma’s lyrics, written by Sara Quin of the Canadian pop duo Tegan and Sara shortly after the release of Goblin, spurred additional debate and provoked comments ranging from supportive of Quin’s message to labeling her as racist.
