He has released two solo studio albums, four solo EPs, three collaborative EPs and an additional two EPs as a part of the alternative hip hop group Boyfriendz and three EPs as a member of the post-hardcore band If I Die First.

Contents

Beginning his career playing in multiple local Texas metalcore bands, he began an acoustic solo career in 2016 under the name Tremor. After posting a number of songs on SoundCloud he became increasingly influenced by the emerging emo rap scene on the platform, which led to him taking on the Lil Lotus moniker and associating with members and affiliates of GothBoiClique.

Early life

John "Elias" Villagran [2] grew up in Pleasant Grove, Dallas, Texas with devout Christian parents. [3] In childhood, he and his family attended Fellowship Church. [4] His father was a musician, who introduced him to a wide variety of musical styles including jazz, reggaeton and oldies. He became influenced to make music through groups like Linkin Park and Paramore, as well as various emo and heavy metal songs that his friend had put on an iPod that Villagran had stolen. He was eventually accepted into a music and arts high school and began being taught guitar by his father. [3] By fourteen, he and his brother were performing praise and worship music at their church, which led to him forming a Christian melodic hardcore band. [4] His first concert was at the Palladium Ballroom at fourteen, watching Paramore, the Starting Line and the Almost. [5] He found himself doing fill-in spots for various acts in his local metalcore scene, including Be//Gotten and Azurah, [6] [7] as well as becoming a frequent user of drugs such as LSD and Xanax. When Villagran was eighteen, his father died, which led him to leave home and live in his car for the following two years. [3] He spent much of this period parked in friends' driveways and talking to his mother once a month by phone call. [4] After returning home, he commenced his fill-in roles, organising local concerts and working day jobs in factories. The birth of his son Luca led him to stop performing with bands and begin pursuing music solo. [3]

Career

Villagran began recording and mixing acoustic solo music and uploading the songs online in 2016. At this time he was performing under the name Tremor.

On February 14, 2018, Boyfriendz released their second EP BFZ2. [38]

If I Die First

In 2020, he formed the band If I Die First. Villagran is the band's lead vocalist, accompanied by emo rappers Lil Zubin (clean vocals and keyboard) and Nedarb Nagrom (guitar and clean vocals), From First to Last guitarist Travis Richter (guitar and unclean vocals) and Ghostemane backing band musicians Cayle Sain (drums) and Nolan Nunes (bass). [39] Their music has been categorised as metalcore, [40] post-hardcore [41] [42] and screamo. [42]

The members of the band met through both SoundCloud and frequenting Richter's music venue in Los Angeles. The band was formed in April 2020 with Villagran on vocals, Zubin on vocals, Nagrom on guitar and vocals, Sain on drums and Nunes on bass, with Richter joining and Zubin beginning to play keyboard by the end of the month. They took their name from Philadelphia rapper Chynna Rogers' EP In Case I Die First. Rogers was a friend of Nagrom's, who died in April 2020. [43] On July 8 they released a music video for their debut single "Where Needles And Lovers Collide", directed by Max Beck and Ritcher, and announced the release of their debut EP My Poison Arms. [44] On July 10, they released the EP, which consisted of six tracks. [45] It was recorded by each member individually during the COVID-19 pandemic. [43]

On March 30, 2021, the band announced a split EP with SeeYouSpaceCowboy called A Sure Disaster, which will be released on May 14, 2021, through Pure Noise Records. [46] They also released a video for the collaborative single from the EP called bloodstainedeyes.

Personal life

Villagran has one child, his son named Luca. [3] Luca was born when Villagran was twenty-one, to a woman named Miranda that he had been in a relationship with since he was nineteen. [4] The couple broke up and got back together multiple times, but eventually broke up permanently after two years, for a year of which the relationship was long-distance, as she had moved to Oklahoma. [6] Villagran then had a relationship with rapper Sage Aquafina, who he had become engaged to, and bought a house in Dallas with in 2019. [3] By 2020, the couple had split up, an event which influenced multiple of his subsequent songs. [39]

Later on in Lil Lotus' career, he became addicted to cocaine and various opiates (mainly oxycodone and fentanyl). Eventually he reached sobriety in the summer of 2019. [3] After almost a year of sobriety, he relapsed for three months, before becoming sober once again in April 2020. [7] He relapsed one more time and posted about it on Instagram in July of 2024 when he announced he was one year clean again.

Villagran has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. [7] He is also openly bisexual. [47]

Musical style

Villagran's early solo music has been categorised by critics as emo rap, [18] [48] [19] with Hysteria magazine hailing him as "one of the biggest influences of the emo-rap genre". [49] However, he disavows the label himself, preferring to say that his music is simply an updated version of emo. [39] His music often incorporates elements of Contemporary R&B, trap and pop punk. [24] Dead Press writer Tyler Turner described his music as "push[ing] the boundaries of modern emo without falling too deeply into the trap of instrumental idleness". [22]

On his debut album Error Boy, Villagran transitioned his music closer to pop punk. [33] [50]

He has cited influences including the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, [6] Saosin, Alesana, Escape the Fate, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, [7] Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, Horse Head and Cold Hart. [4]

Pop-punk is a rock music fusion genre that combines elements of punk rock with power pop or pop. It is defined by its fast-paced, energetic tempos, and emphasis on classic pop songcraft, as well as adolescent and anti-suburbia themes. It is distinguished from other punk-variant genres by drawing more heavily from 1960s bands such as the Beatles, the Kinks, and the Beach Boys. The genre has evolved throughout its history, absorbing elements from new wave, college rock, ska, hip hop, emo, boy band pop and even hardcore punk. It is sometimes considered interchangeable with power pop and skate punk.
