Tyler the creator's music is not for the faint of heart, according to L.A. weekly, who called his sound hellish. He occasionally uses quite coarse language and is very homophobic.

Tyler the creator, who has always lived true to his name, started making magazines, music videos, and everything in between at an early age, with the goal of being well-known.

But he had a difficult upbringing; he didn't have a father figure, and he ended up doing things that were different from those of his contemporaries, which made him feel different for the most of his life. He didn't genuinely feel like he belonged to something greater than himself until he made a unique circle of pals. Tyler first gained attention for his forum posts and some support from a UK publication, ironically being completely barred from the country, outrageous live performances, contentious lyrics, and of course eating cockroaches. All these launched him to fame. 

Tyler the Creator has gradually established himself as one of this generation's most inventive and unique artists. More than that, though, he has been able to grow with his fan base from his early days with Odd Future, to creating the soundtrack for the new Grinch movie. He has come to represent development and the capacity for change over time.

Tyler has gone well beyond music in terms of his influence, embodying what it is to be an artist. He has established his own brand, a clothes shop, and an annual festival in Los Angeles. The amazing thing is that Tyler the Creator still seems to be in the early stages of his career despite having directed commercials and having his own animated series.

He claims that he enjoys creating things, rhyming words, and cooking. He even claims that rhythm is just one of those things that comes to him naturally.

Without further ado, let's take a look at Tyler the Creator's life and career. This time, we'll give you an epic version to celebrate his new album and his professional advancement.


Tyler Gregorio Konma was born in Los Angeles, California, on March 6, 1991, yet he has chosen to claim Boulder, Colorado, as his second birthplace. He has even been given the city's key.

Tyler lived alone with his mother because his father was totally absent from his life. Now, his mother claims that Tyler and his father once met when Tyler was 12 years old, but Tyler doesn't recall the encounter if it ever took place. He makes numerous references to his father in his songs, most notably in the song "answer." However, his mother—who is actually half Canadian—played a more significant role in his upbringing.


Now that his mother would play jazz music in the house, Tyler was encouraged to explore the genre further in the future. Tyler hopped between Hawthorne, California, and Ladera Heights, California. He had a lifelong interest in making things. At the age of seven, he started buying albums with his birthday money and would swap out the album art for his favorite CDs with that from imaginary albums he had created.

He would now even include the song lengths and the track list. I suppose that before he even produced a complete song on his own, he was executive producing. Also at that age, he would record rhymes in his notebooks. Now, some of his earliest influences included Eminem, the Black Eyed Peas, and 2001 by Dr. Dre. and he claims that at one point he even believed he was a young Usher.


Tyler participated in his elementary school's gifted and talent enrichment program. He was one of seven children in the class, and this was also the time that he briefly consulted a therapist. He admitted to the New York Times that it was the same time that he compiled lists of the students he intended to torture and murder. 

He formerly took Ritalin, but he quit because it conflicted with his asthma prescription. Tyler claims that his genuine form of treatment evolved into music. He began producing beats when he was 12 years old. He experimented with various sounds using a version of the producing software called "reason" that his mom's friend gave him. Tyler's mother had originally enrolled him up for basketball, but he detested the sport and preferred skateboarding. Because no one else in his immediate circle enjoyed skating, he learned to skate by watching Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 when he was 12 years old. 

Tyler was motivated to try playing the keyboard when he was 14 years old after watching Pharrell perform on a DVD. His mother bought him a keyboard. He started his musical adventure by teaching himself how to play the piano. He could only play with four fingers at first, but eventually he taught himself chords. He still isn't able to read music, but when he first started, he was quite pleased when he learned how to play the first eight bars of Outcast's She's Alive.

Later, he also taught himself how to play the drums. Tyler bounced around between Los Angeles and Sacramento after his mother relocated there, attending 12 different schools in those 12 years. He didn't grow up with many close friends because of this, and he was the class clown who loved to make people laugh but constantly felt out of place.

However, he was creating music to express himself while he was a social outcast in school. He posted it online but kept it a secret from his classmates. Now, in his senior year, a student from his old school approached him and began rapping some of his lyrics. Tyler thought the exchange was a little awkward.

Tyler stayed in Los Angeles with his grandmother in the Ladera Heights neighborhood while his mother was in Sacramento. Now, Ladera Heights is frequently referred to as Beverly Hills in the Dark. Frank Ocean makes reference to the moniker in his song "sweet life." Tyler's time there, however, was very different from the idyllic life portrayed in Frank's album.

He had no money and was currently sleeping on his grandmother's couch. He did, in fact, claim to have slept on the floor.


Around this time, he began to connect with several individuals who shared his interests outside of school, such as Jasper, Taco, and Lucas. When Tyler was hungry, those guys would even let him stay at their house and cook for him. They usually stole items from automobiles and sold them at pawn shops so they could go to McDonald's or get some food. He worked at FedEx for a week and a half and at Starbucks for two years while he was in school. That is, up until he was let go.

Tyler claims that being fired was the best thing that has ever happened to him, not just because he ate three more danishes on the day he was scheduled to be dismissed, but also because it provided him more time to work on his art. Tyler was putting up his artistic work on Myspace at the time.

He really had three distinct myspace profiles, but Tyler the Creator was the name of the one that had all of his creative ideas and thoughts, including sketches, videos, music, and more. He made the decision to remove that particular page, leaving only the name and his graduation phrase, "Music is my life," from his yearbook. Tyler studied film at a community college in West Los Angeles, but he eventually left to follow his goals on his own.

But in 2007, Tyler co-founded the hip-hop collective "Odd Future," which consists of musicians, producers, rappers, photographers, videographers, and, above all, friends; all with the same ambition to produce something unforgettable.

In the beginning, the name "Odd Future" was intended to be a magazine that featured artists and covered all of his interests, including skateboarding, art, and colors. However, when he realized he lacked the resources to launch a magazine, he dropped the concept.

The trio would record a taco at the home of his sister Sid. Now, Sid enjoys a prosperous career both as a solo vocalist and as a member of the internet. Their parents were highly supportive of their work, and they lived in a wonderful home. So they would hang out there and create their stuffs. At the time, they were submitting their songs to hip-hop blogs, but nobody was really responding all that favorably.


After the summer break, the group was prepared to go back to school and pursue their aspirations as a side passion project. That is, up until The Wire, a magazine published in the UK, got a hold of their music. The magazine created a feature for their "September Edition," and the media coverage exploded after that. After that, fader wrote about them, and mtv followed.

Tyler then started making posts on their forums. Now, he acknowledges that their early backing was a major factor in their ability to garner media coverage, though not all of it was favorable. While many praised Tyler and the crew for their inventiveness and the fresh ideas they explored, many others were horrified by the material in their lyrics and visuals.

However, some people thought his lyrics to be extremely offensive because they were seen as being violent toward women and homophobic, garnering comparable criticism to Eminem when he first released in 2008.

They began to amass a devoted following after releasing their debut album, The Odd Future Tape, online. After a year, Tyler started his solo career with the ground-breaking mixtape "bastard." Tyler recorded 80 songs for the album utilizing the fruity loops producing program, but the video for "Yonkers" was the one that made him famous online for many reasons. It doesn't matter if it was the catchy music, the savage rhymes about stabbing Bruno Mars in the esophagus, or the cockroach he was eating—they were all memorable. Many individuals were drawn to that video for some reason. On YouTube, it has now received more than 212 million views.

Now, this music video really propelled the already well-known musician to new heights. He received the 2011 MTV Video Music Award for best new artist.


He secured a one album deal with British independent label XL recordings after the release of the video. The song was included in his label-released debut studio album, Goblin. That same year, he made his late-night television debut on Jimmy Fallon.

In the same year, he also made the premiere of Loiter Squad, a show he had been developing with his crew.

Lil Wayne and Seth Rogen both made appearances in the official show, which made its adult swim debut on March 2012. After Tyler left Goblin, his career has been centered about developing his sound and identity.

Wolf, his subsequent studio album, was released in 2013. This time, Tyler's most sincere and comprehensive work to date was included on the album, which was distributed by Sony and Red. In fact, it even won over a lot of people who weren't fans of his earlier works.

The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 charts after selling 90 000 copies in its first week. After that, he released Cherry Bomb, a musically strong album with appearances from Kanye West and Lil Wayne as well as some experimental productions from Tyler. However, just when Tyler's life appeared to be going well, he revealed that he had been exiled from the UK for three to five years.

He was compelled to postpone his entire tour accompanying Cherry Bomb. Now, the restriction is said to have been triggered by a few lyrics from the 2009 song "The man from overseas." This didn't slow him down; he continued to produce. He has said that the month of November 2016 was the finest month of his life, and he made reference to this month in his song "November," in which he invited his listeners to describe their own November.

For Tyler, his best November was the one when he and his friends rented a house and they would hang out, make music, and just have fun. In addition to launching his show Nuts Plus Bolts on Viceland in 2017,


Tyler also launched his album Flower Boy in the same year, to overwhelmingly great reviews from both critics and listeners. The record has even received a Grammy nomination for best rap album of the year.

Tyler, who didn't drink at all in high school, promised to wait to drink until the Grammy Awards. Well, the child deserved it, so I hope he at least took a sip.

Tyler hinted at potential relationships with men in the album, which drew interest from the public because it was released by a person who had previously been accused of homophobia.

But he said it was none of their concern. Tyler is now pushing himself creatively in many facets of his life, from soundtrack composition to film directing, but we have a hunch that everything he puts his hands on will be a hit.
