Tyler, The Creator Biography

Tyler Gregory Okonma (born March 6, 1991), known professionally as Tyler, the Creator, is an American rapper and record producer. He is known for his eclectic and experimental music, raw lyrical style, and frequent use of alter egos and alternate personas across his albums.

During the 2010s and 2020s, he was described as an influential figure in alternative hip-hop. In the late 2000s, Okonma co-founded and led the music collective Odd Future.

As a member of the group, he worked as a rapper, producer, director, and actor, and produced studio albums for several of its members. He also appeared on the group's sketch comedy series Loiter Squad (2012–2014).

Alongside his work with Odd Future, he developed a solo career with his self-released debut studio album, Bastard (2009). His second studio album, Goblin (2011), brought him mainstream attention, largely through the success of the single "Yonkers" and its music video.

During this period, he attracted controversy for his horrorcore-influenced sound and violent, transgressive lyrics. After releasing his third studio album, Wolf (2013), Tyler moved away from horrorcore and toward a more accessible sound, incorporating elements of jazz, soul, and R&B.

He followed with Cherry Bomb (2015), which included guest appearances from Lil Wayne and Kanye West. In 2017, Flower Boy received widespread critical acclaim and commercial success.

Igor (2019) and Call Me If You Get Lost (2021) both debuted atop the Billboard 200 and won Best Rap Album at the 62nd and 64th Grammy Awards, respectively. His later albums, Chromakopia (2024) and Don't Tap the Glass (2025), also debuted at number one in the U.

S. , with Chromakopia recording the strongest first-week sales of his career.

Beyond music, Tyler founded the clothing brands Golf Wang and Le Fleur, and has collaborated with Lacoste, Converse, and Louis Vuitton. He is also the founder of the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, an annual music festival launched in 2012 that has featured performers including Kanye West, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey, and Billie Eilish.

Under the pseudonym Wolf Haley, he has directed all of his music and promotional videos. In 2025, he made his feature film debut as Wally in Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme, under his birth name.

Tyler has won three Grammy Awards, three BET Hip Hop Awards, a Brit Award, and an MTV Video Music Award. In 2019, The Wall Street Journal named him "Music Innovator of the Year", and in 2024, the Los Angeles Times featured him in its "L.

A. Influential" series as a "creator who is leaving [his] mark" on Los Angeles.
