Early life

Taylor attended the Northwest School of the Arts, but later dropped out to graduate from a different high school. [3]

Career

Musical style

Taylor’s music combines rage rap, hyperpop, and melodic trap, marked by bright synths, distorted 808s, and a maximalist “wall of sound” often compared to video game atmospheres. [4] Influenced by Pierre Bourne but shaped by his time in the online collective 4ersona, he pairs euphoric, chiptune-inspired production with a baby-voiced delivery similar to Lil Uzi Vert or Playboi Carti in songs such as "Pissy Pamper". [2] [5] His music is often described as optimistic, cute, and positive. [6] [7]
