Mini bio
How it started.
Tyler Gregory Okonma was born in Hawthorne, California. As a child, he made covers and tracklists for imaginary albums. He co-founded Odd Future in 2007 and self-released Bastard on Christmas Day in 2009, building a world around his music before a wider audience knew his name.
The breakout.
The “Yonkers” video brought him wider attention in 2011, the year he released Goblin and won MTV’s Best New Artist award. His work grew beyond rapping: the visual ideas, production, and clothes became part of how fans followed each new project.
Albums with their own worlds.
Flower Boy, IGOR, and CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST expanded his palette of rap, melody, soul, and synths. IGOR won Best Rap Album at the 2020 Grammys, and CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST took the same award in 2022. CHROMAKOPIA followed in October 2024, then the dance-focused DON’T TAP THE GLASS arrived in July 2025.
Beyond the records.
Tyler also builds Camp Flog Gnaw and works in fashion through GOLF WANG. In 2025, he made his feature-film debut in Marty Supreme. In 2026, his projects included a Grammy-winning album cover and a GOLF WANG collaboration with Spotify and FC Barcelona.
