Developing Passion For Music

Austin Richard Post is the birth name of Post Malone and he was born in 1995. He got into music thanks to his father who introduced him to a variety of genres including, rock, hip-hop and country. As a youngster, he learned to play the guitar and before long, Malone had joined a heavy metal band with whom he began to perform. However, that style of music never really inspired him and he quit the band and started to develop a liking for rap music. At the age of 16, he produced his first hip-hop mixtape with the help of Audacity titled, ‘Young and After Them Riches.’  He then showed this project to some of his friends and they all praised it.

Post Malone soon dropped out of Tarrant County College and moved to Los Angeles where he formed the group, BLCKVRD with multiple other artists. He later met 1st Down and Sauce Lord Rich from FKi who served as co-lyricists on his first single, White Iverson. Malone uploaded the track on SoundCloud. In July of 2015, he shared the music video of White Iverson which caught the attention of Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller. The song immediately became a major hit, selling over five million copies in the States. That led to him receiving a recording deal from Republic Records.  

His Career Takes Off

He also got a chance to collaborate with Kanye West on the song, Fade which featured on the latter’s studio album, ‘The Life of Pablo.’ Malone was also seen touring with Justin Bieber as an opening act.
