Signature

Austin Richard Post (born July 4, 1995),[1] known professionally as Post Malone, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer.[2] Malone has gained acclaim for blending genres and subgenres of hip hop, pop, R&B, and trap. His stage name was derived from inputting his birth name into a rap name generator.[3]

Malone began his music career in 2011 and gained recognition with his 2015 debut single "White Iverson",[4] which peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Malone signed a recording contract with Republic Records[5] and released his debut album Stoney (2016); it contained the diamond single "Congratulations" (featuring Quavo) and set the record for most weeks (77) on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[6] His second album, Beerbongs & Bentleys (2018), debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and set several streaming records.[6] It also contained the US number-one singles "Rockstar" (featuring 21 Savage) and "Psycho" (featuring Ty Dolla Sign), and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 61st Grammy Awards.

His third number one, "Sunflower" (with Swae Lee), was the promotional and lead single to the soundtrack for the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), and was included on Malone's third album, Hollywood's Bleeding (2019); the album was his second number one, and "Sunflower" became the highest-certified song in RIAA history at 17x platinum.[7] Its second single, "Circles", became his fourth US number-one song and spent 61 weeks on the Hot 100. It was also the most-played radio song of 2020.[8] His fourth album, Twelve Carat Toothache, was released in June 2022, spearheaded by the US top-ten singles "I Like You (A Happier Song)" (featuring Doja Cat) and "One Right Now" (with the Weeknd).

Among the best-selling music artists with over 80 million records sold,[9] Malone has won 10 Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, and one MTV Video Music Award, and received nine Grammy Award nominations.[10] He holds several Billboard chart records: he is the first solo lead artist to top both the Rap Airplay and Adult Contemporary charts, while "Circles" set the record for longest climb to number one (41 weeks) on the Adult Contemporary chart by a solo artist.[11] As of 2023, Malone holds the record for the artist with the most diamond-certified songs with eight to his name.[12]

Early life

Austin Richard Post was born on July 4, 1995,[1] in Syracuse, New York.[13][14] He was raised by his father, Richard Post, and his stepmother, Jodie. His father had been a DJ in his youth and introduced Malone to many different genres of music including hip hop, country, and rock.[15] When Malone was nine years old,[16] he and his family moved to Grapevine, Texas, after his father became the manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys.[17][18] Malone began to play the guitar and auditioned for the American band Crown the Empire in 2010, but was rejected after his guitar strings broke during the audition. He credited his initial interest in learning guitar to the video game Guitar Hero.[19]

Malone has always had a love for alternative rock music, and appeared for a DJ set at Emo Nite in Los Angeles, California, in June 2017, playing songs by American alt-rock band My Chemical Romance at the event.[20] According to Malone, his first foray into professional music began when he was in a heavy metal band.[21] He says soon afterwards he transitioned to softer rock as well as hip hop, before beginning to experiment on FL Studio.[22]

Career

2011–2016: Career beginnings and Stoney

According to Malone, he chose "Post Malone" as his stage name when he was 14 or 15.[23] The name was rumored to be a reference to the professional basketball player Karl Malone,[24] but Malone later explained that "Post" is his last name, and he used a "rap name generator" to get "Malone".[3] At 16, using audio editor Audacity, Malone created his first mixtape, Young and After Them Riches.[25] He showed it to some of his classmates at Grapevine High School.[19][26] He was voted "Most Likely to Become Famous" by his classmates as a senior in high school. He worked at a Chicken Express as a teenager.[19]

At age 17, Malone released a parody synth-pop ballad song called "Why Don't You Love Me" under the alias Leon DeChino, intended for a school project. The song reappeared online in 2016. Malone later referenced the DeChino alias on his song "Psycho".[27][28]

Malone later enrolled in Tarrant County College, but dropped out.[29] After leaving college, Malone moved to Los Angeles with his longtime friend Jason Probst, a professional game streamer.[30][31][32]

After moving to Los Angeles, Malone, Probst, and several other producers and artists formed the music group BLCKVRD and recorded music together.[33] Several members of the group, including Malone, moved into a house in the San Fernando Valley together. While living in the San Fernando Valley, Malone met record producers FKi 1st and Sauce Lord Rich, who formed the production team FKi, as well as Rex Kudo, who produced several of Malone's tracks, including "White Iverson".[13] Malone recorded the song two days after writing it.[26] The lyrics of "White Iverson" allude to Basketball Hall of Fame player Allen Iverson.[34][35][24] In February 2015, upon completion, it was uploaded to Malone's SoundCloud account.[36] On July 19, 2015, Malone released a music video for "White Iverson". The single received praise from Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa.[19][37][38] However the song was mocked by Earl Sweatshirt.[39][40][41]

Malone at the VELD Music Festival in Canada in 2016

After hitting one million views within a month of releasing "White Iverson", Malone quickly garnered attention from record labels.[35] In August 2015, he signed a recording contract with Republic Records.[42][43] Malone went on to work with a number of prominent rappers including 50 Cent, Young Thug, Kanye West and others.[44][45] In August 2015, he performed at Kylie Jenner's 18th birthday party,[46] where he met Kanye West, who enjoyed his music, leading to him collaborating with Malone on his single "Fade" from his album The Life of Pablo (2016).[47] Malone later began a friendship with Canadian singer Justin Bieber leading to Malone being an opening act for Bieber's Purpose World Tour (2016–17).[48][49] On April 20, 2016, Malone premiered his new single, "Go Flex" on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show.[50]

On May 12, 2016, he released his first full-length project, a mixtape, titled August 26th,[51] the title of which was a reference to the release date of his debut album. On June 9, 2016, Malone made his national television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing "Go Flex".[52]

In June 2016, XXL editor-in-chief Vanessa Satten revealed Malone was considered for XXL's "2016 Freshman Class" magazine cover, but she was "told by his camp that he wasn't paying attention to hip hop so much. He was going in more of a rock/pop/country direction."[53] However, Malone denied these claims, explaining that his latest mixtape as well as his upcoming album were both hip hop.[54] In August 2016, Malone issued an apology for his album, Stoney, being late.[55] It was available for pre-order on November 4, and was finally released on December 9. Malone later went on to call the album "mediocre",[17] despite the success of the single "Congratulations" (featuring Quavo), Malone's first top-ten song on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number eight.[56][57] Stoney also featured the top 100 hits "I Fall Apart", and "Deja Vu" (featuring Bieber), with the album later being certified double platinum by the RIAA in October 2017.[58]

Musical style

Malone's music is hip hop,[120] pop-rap,[121] pop,[122] R&B,[123] trap,[124] rap rock,[125] and cloud rap.[126] Malone's music has been described as a "melting pot of the country, grunge and hip hop"[127] and Malone himself has been described as versatile.[128] His vocal style has been described as "laconic".[129] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described Malone as "an artist who toes the line between singing and rapping, and hip-hop and spooky electric folk".[130] Malone himself has called his music "genre-less".

Malone cites Bob Dylan, in whom he became interested around the age of 15, as an influence on his music, calling him "a genius" and "a god" though his music has been called "about as far away from Rock n' Roll as you can get".[131] He called "Subterranean Homesick Blues" the "first rap song". He has a tattoo of Dylan as well.[17] Malone has cited Kurt Cobain and Johnny Cash as key influences too.[132] Malone has also cited 50 Cent, whom he called a legend,[133] Kanye West and Key! as influences.[134]

Relationship with the hip hop community

Malone has been called a "culture vulture" multiple times by different publications and on social media[135][136] for "appropriating" African-American culture.[137][138][139] California rapper Lil B wrote on Twitter in October 2017: "Post Malone is slowly turning into a white dude! Lol he's pushing it, give it a few years he gon be full country and hate blacks lol", with Malone replying in an interview, claiming that his white skin has been "used against him".[140] In January 2018, Malone went on an intoxicated rant against people who describe him as a culture vulture.[141][142] In an interview with GQ several days later, Malone said "there's a struggle being a white rapper."[143]

In a November 2017 interview with Polish media outlet Newonce, Malone said that modern hip-hop music lacks "people talking about real shit" and added that "if you're looking to think about life, don't listen to hip-hop."[134][144] He was criticized for his comments, including by fellow rappers Lil B and Vince Staples.[145][146] Malone later appeared in a video on Twitter, saying that the reason for his comments was that it was a "beer-tasting" interview,[147] and going on to say that he loves hip-hop.[148][149] Newonce, however, denied that claim, stating that Malone barely drank at all during the interview.[150] In the follow-up Malone went on to say, "What I was saying was that when I wanna sit down and cry, I sit down and I listen to Bob Dylan and his guitar. Just like everyone else, no matter how hard you are, no matter where you're from, you're gonna have times where you sit back and reflect on your life and you listen to what you wanna listen to. For me, that's Bob Dylan."[150]

Other ventures

During Malone's Runaway Tour in 2019, he released special-edition Bud Light beer cans at local stores in 15 cities.[151] He also released multiple lines of sunglasses in collaboration with Arnette.[152]

Health

In March 2020, a video surfaced that showed Malone falling and behaving oddly on stage to his song, "I Fall Apart", which made fans worry about his well-being and health.[172][173] Malone later said that he was "not on drugs and I feel the best I've ever fucking felt in my life". His manager Dre London likewise claimed there was no need to worry and that Malone's behavior was part of the "act". Malone's father Richard Post also commented on the artist's behavior, stating that he does not "want to come across as dismissive to those of you who have expressed concern about Austin. Your sincerity and kindness regarding him is certainly heartwarming and appreciated."[174][175][176]

During his 2022 interview with Howard Stern, Malone revealed he's long struggled with alcoholism, but has recovered with the help of his fiancée.[177]

Malone later expressed a dislike for Trump in a November 2017 interview for Rolling Stone. In the same interview, he revealed that he has a large collection of guns and believes it is an American right to own and operate guns. Malone also expressed a strong interest in conspiracy theories when he said, "There's crazy shit that goes on that we can't explain."[19] During a trip to Canada in 2018, Malone was interviewed and when asked what the "biggest lie is", he replied "The biggest lie in the world is the U.S. government. It's a fucking reality show and I think there's gonna be a lot of weird shit that happens within our generation that really changes the way of the world."[182]
