Mini bio
Music before fame.
Growing up in Paterson, Fetty heard music all around him at church. His mother sang, his father played keyboards and his uncle played drums. He learned drums himself and played on Sundays. He began making his own music in 2013, with longtime friend Monty part of his early circle.
The breakout.
“Trap Queen” introduced his mix of singing and rapping to a wider audience. His self-titled debut reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2015, with “679,” “My Way” and “Again” extending that first run. Monty appears throughout the album.
A return to the studio.
After releasing King Zoo while incarcerated in 2023, Fetty returned home in January 2026 and made Zavier. It puts familiar melodic rap beside R&B and the doo-wop harmonies of “White Roses,” which features his sisters. His Nostalgia Tour brings the early hits and newer songs together onstage.
