I'm happy it comes out in the music,
you know, because I'm having the time of my life.
That's why I say it's a drug.
From the moment his voice hit the airwaves,
Post Malone became a force in music that no one saw coming.
It's not for the people who hate you.
It's for the people who love you and for yourself.
Post has transformed into a multi-platinum artist,
each song telling its own story of heartbreak,
resilience, and defiance.
He's an artist whose sound is as diverse
as his influences, blending hip-hop, rock, country,
and pop into something entirely his own.
But behind the chart-topping hits, viral success,
and tattooed persona lies a story of relentless
ambition, raw vulnerability, and the pursuit of something deeper.
I cannot wait to go and write more songs and get the band out and just
keep creating.
You know, I'm so excited.
This is the story of Austin Richard Post,
of Post Malone.
A story of breaking boundaries, chasing dreams, and
navigating a world that doesn't always understand him.
I just hope, you know, people enjoy the
music and people relate to the music and
just keep spreading love and I guess that's the whole thing that I want.
Austin Richard Post, better known as Post Malone,
was born on July 4, 1995, in Syracuse, New York.
Raised by his father, Richard Post, and his
stepmother, Jodi, Post was exposed to a wide variety of music early on.
His father, a former DJ, played everything from
hip-hop to country to rock, sparking Post's
eclectic taste in future genre-blending sound.
At the age of nine, Post's life took
a turn when his family relocated to Grapevine,
Texas, after his father took a job managing
concessions for the Dallas Cowboys.
It was here that Post's passion for music truly took root.
Inspired by the video game Guitar Hero, he
picked up a guitar, dreaming of performing on stage.
In 2010, he auditioned for the American band
Crown the Empire, but fate took a different
path when his guitar strings broke mid-audition.
Though his early music interests gravitated toward heavy
metal, Post Malone's love for alternative rock and hip-hop soon emerged.
He even made an appearance at Emo Night
in Los Angeles in 2017, spinning tracks by
his favorite alt-rock band, My Chemical Romance.
His journey into professional music began with a
heavy metal band before evolving into softer rock and eventually, hip-hop.
He began experimenting, laying the groundwork for the
genre-bending artist he would become.
At just 14, Austin Richard Post decided on
a name that would soon become iconic...
Post Malone.
While rumors swirled that the Malone part referenced
the basketball player Carl Malone, Post later revealed
that he simply used his last name, Post,
and a random rap name generator to come up with Malone.
By the time he was 16, Post had
already created his first mixtape, Young and After Them Riches.
Using the basic audio editor software, Audacity,
he shared the tracks with his classmates at Grapevine
High School, and it wasn't long before they
voted him most likely to become famous.
During his teenage years, Post worked at a
chicken express and dabbled in music for fun.
At 17, he released a synth-pop parody
track called Why Don't You Love Me, under
the alias, Leon DiCino, intended for a school project.
Little did he know, this playful experiment would resurface years later.
Soon after high school, he enrolled in Tarrant
County College, but his heart wasn't in it, and he eventually dropped out.
Post then took a leap of faith, moving to Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, Post joined forces with a
group of artists and producers to form a collective called Blackard.
They moved into a house in the San
Fernando Valley, where they recorded music together.
During this time, Post met producers F.K
.I. First, Sauce Lord Rich, and Rex Kudo,
key collaborators who would help shape his sound.
It was in this house that Post recorded
White Iverson, a song he wrote in just two days.
The track quickly blew up after releasing in February 2015.
♪ I won ♪
♪ Saucin’, saucin’, I’m saucin’ on you ♪
♪ I’m swaggin’, I’m swaggin’, I’m swaggin’ on ♪
Within a month, the song had racked up over a million views.
Post soon caught the attention of rappers Mac
Miller and Wiz Khalifa, and major labels came calling.
Well, what do you think it was? Which slide?
I think it just came out at the right time with the right, um, you know,
little spark and it just caught fire and, you know, it just...
And the rest is history.
The rest is history.
In August 2015, Post signed with Republic Records
and began working with high-profile artists like
50 Cent, Young Thug, and Kanye West.
A chance encounter with West at Kylie Jenner's
18th birthday party led to Post collaborating on
Kanye's track Fade for his album, The Life of Pablo.
Around the same time, Post struck up a
friendship with Justin Bieber, who invited him to
open for his Purpose World Tour.
In April 2016, Post Malone dropped his single
Go Flex on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show,
keeping the momentum of his rising career going strong.
The following month, he released his first mixtape
named August 26th, a nod to the anticipated release of his debut album.
By June, he made his national TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Here with the song, Goldflex, Post Malone!
♪ My squad, and I’m smokin’ up a check ♪
♪ Ay, man, I just wanna go flex ♪
♪ Gold on my teeth and on my neck ♪
Around the same time, although he was considered
for XXL's 2016 freshman class, rumors began to
circulate that Post was shifting away from hip
hop toward rock, pop, or country.
However, he quickly shut down those claims, reaffirming
that his upcoming album was firmly rooted in hip-hop.
After a few delays, his debut album Stoney
was finally released in December 2016.
While Post himself later called the album, Mediocre,
it featured the hit singles Congratulations with Quavo
and Deja Vu with Justin Bieber.
By October 2017, Stoney had been certified double
platinum, thrusting Post into the spotlight and laying
his future out before him.
In early 2017, Post Malone announced the title
of his next project, Beerbongs and Bentleys.
Initially set for a December release, however, the
album was delayed until 2018.
In September of that year, he dropped its
first single, Rockstar, featuring 21 Savage.
♪ I've been fuckin' hoes and poppin' pillies, man ♪
♪ I feel just like a rockstar ♪
♪ All my brothers got that gas ♪
♪ And they always be smokin' like a rockstar ♪
The song quickly climbed to the top of
the Billboard Hot 100, staying at number one for eight weeks.
Rolling Stone declared Post one of the most
popular musicians in the country.
♪ I don't want to die too young ♪
♪ Too young, too young ♪
♪ Probably think that you are better now, better now ♪
♪ You only say that cause I'm not around, not around ♪
♪ You know I never meant to let you down, let you down ♪
♪ Would've gave you anything, would've gave you everything ♪
In early 2018, Post teased a new collaboration
with Ty Dolla $ign titled Psycho, which was
officially released in February and debuted at number
two on the Billboard Hot 100.
A few months later, it reached number one,
marking Post's second chart-topping hit.
Around the same time, Post announced that Beerbongs
and Bentleys would be released on April 27,
2018, and previewed the song Stay, during a
Bud Light dive bar show in Nashville.
When the album dropped, it shattered Spotify's first-day
streaming record, with 78.7 million streams globally.
Debuting at number one on the Billboard 200,
it sold 461,000 album-equivalent units in
its first week and was certified platinum within four days.
The album produced several hits, including three top-ten tracks
and six that reached the top 20.
Post Malone has often faced accusations of being
a culture vulture, with critics from various publications
and social media accusing him of appropriating African -American culture.
In October 2017, California rapper Lil B tweeted,
Post Malone is slowly turning into a white dude.
LOL he's pushing it.
Give it a few years, he gon' be full country, and hate blacks LOL.
Post responded to the criticism in an interview,
expressing frustration that his white skin was being used against him.
By January 2018, he went on a rant
while intoxicated, directly addressing those who labeled him
a culture vulture.
In a later interview with GQ, he acknowledged
the complexities of being a white rapper, explaining
that it was a struggle.
In another controversy, during a November 2017 interview
with Polish media outlet Nuance, Post Malone criticized
modern hip-hop, saying it lacked depth and real meaning.
He added, If you're looking to think about life, don't listen to hip-hop.
His remarks sparked backlash from other artists, including
Lil B and Vince Staples, who publicly denounced his views.
Post later addressed the comments in a Twitter
video, clarifying that it had been a beer-tasting
interview and insisting that he loves hip-hop.
It's funny because who the f*** am I to tell you don't listen to this and
whenever you want to feel something, don't listen to this.
Or who am I to tell you that
you should feel a certain way when listening to something.
Nuance refuted his claim, stating that he barely
In a follow-up statement, Post explained that
his comments were about personal reflection, noting that
when he's feeling emotional, he listens to Bob Dylan.
What I was saying was that when I want to sit down and cry, listen to
Bob Dylan and his guitar, just like everyone
else, no matter how hard you are, no
matter where you're from, you're gonna have a
time where you sit back and reflect on your life and you listen to what you
want to listen to.
For me, that's Bob Dylan.
Yet despite the controversy, Post's career continued to accelerate.
In May 2018, he revealed plans to start
his own record label and film production company.
He also won Top Rap Song at the
Billboard Music Awards for Rockstar and announced the
creation of Posty Fest, a festival in his
hometown of Dallas, featuring a blockbuster lineup, including Travis Scott.
In August, Post broke Michael Jackson's 34-year
record for most weeks on Billboard's Top R
&B Hip-Hop Albums chart, with Stoney spending
77 weeks on the chart compared to Jackson's Thriller.
Later that year, Post previewed his track Sunflower,
a collaboration with Sway Lee for the Spider-Man
Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack.
The song received an insanely popular reception and
made history by becoming the first-ever R .I.A.A. double diamond single.
♪ Oh, you'll be left in the dust ♪
♪ Unless I start fire ♪
♪ You're the sunflower ♪
♪ You’re the sunflower ♪
By November 2018, Post confirmed he was working
on his third album, recording it in his Utah home.
His success continued into 2019, when Beerbongs and
Bentleys received four Grammy nominations, including Album of
the Year and Record of the Year.
In mid-2019, Post released Goodbyes, featuring Young
Thug, and announced The Runaway Tour with Sway Lee.
He also teased the track Circles, which premiered
at his Bud Light dive bar concert and
was officially released at the end of August.
♪ Run away, but we’re running in circles ♪
♪ Run away, run away ♪
♪ Maybe you don’t understand what I’m going through ♪
Post then revealed his third album, Hollywood's Bleeding,
would be released on September 6, 2019.
The album debuted at number one on the
Billboard 200, selling 489,000 units in its first week.
Hollywood's Bleeding was later nominated for Album of
the Year at the 63rd Grammy Awards, further
cementing Post Malone's place as a major force in music.
On March 12, 2020, Post Malone performed at
Denver's Pepsi Center in front of a sold
out crowd of 20,000 people, one of
the last large-scale indoor gatherings in the
U.S. before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns began.
Despite growing concerns about the virus, the concert
went on, drawing criticism for not being canceled.
Shortly afterward, Live Nation postponed the remainder of
his U.S. tour dates for March 2020.
In the same month, a video surfaced showing
Post Malone stumbling and acting unusually during a
performance of his song, I Fall Apart, sparking
concern among fans about his health.
♪ I fall apart, down to my care ♪
♪ Oh, I didn’t know it before ♪
♪ Surprised when you- ♪
Speculation grew over whether something was wrong, but
Malone quickly reassured everyone, stating, I'm not on
drugs, and I feel the best I've ever felt in my life.
His manager Dre London echoed this, explaining that
Malone's behavior was simply part of his performance.
Malone's father, Richard Post, also addressed the situation,
expressing gratitude for the concern while assuring fans
that their support and kindness were deeply appreciated.
In the midst of the pandemic, on April
24, 2020, Post announced during a livestream that
he was working on a new album.
Later that month, he performed a livestream set
of Nirvana covers from his home, with Travis
Barker on drums, raising over $5 million for
the World Health Organization's COVID-19 relief efforts.
The performance was well-received, earning praise from
Nirvana's surviving members, Chris Novoselic and Dave Grohl,
as well as Kurt Cobain's widow, Kourtney Love.
In June 2020, Post was featured on Tyler
Yowie's single Tommy Lee, followed by a remix
in July that included Tommy Lee himself on drums.
Post Malone continued collaborating with other artists, including
a feature on DJ Khaled's song I Did
It in 2021, alongside DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion,
and Lil Baby.
That November, he teamed up with The Weeknd
for the track One Right Now, the lead single for his upcoming fourth album.

♪ I got one comin’ over and one right now ♪
In early 2022, during an interview with Billboard,
Post revealed that the album would be titled
12 Carat Toothache and set for release on June 3, 2022.
The second single, Cooped Up, featuring Roddy Ricch,
dropped in May 2022, followed by a live
performance on Saturday Night Live, where Malone also
performed Love Hate Letter to Alcohol with Fleet Foxes.
In May 2022, Post Malone shared the news
that he and his girlfriend were expecting their first child.
A month later, during an interview on The
Howard Stern Show, he revealed that the couple
had gotten engaged and had already welcomed their daughter.
While they have kept her name private, Malone
marked the occasion by tattooing her initials, DDP,
on his forehead.
In August 2022, his documentary film Runaway premiered
on Amazon Prime Video, offering behind-the-scenes
glimpses of his 2019 Runaway tour.
My name is Austin Richard Post.
Music's what I love to do.
There's often a moment that defines an artist.
On this runaway tour, Post is having that moment.
In April 2023, Post Malone revealed he was working on
a new album, kicking off the excitement with
the release of Chemical on April 14, the
lead single for his upcoming fifth studio album.
♪ Seven Nation Army, fightin’ at the bar with you ♪
♪ Tell you that I’m sorry, tell me what I gotta do ♪
♪ ‘Cause I can’t let go, it’s chemical ♪
Just a week later, on April 21, he
dropped The Diamond Collection, a compilation celebrating his
eight R.I.A.A. Diamond-certified singles,
which also included the new track Chemical.
The record's eight tracks are Post's most well
known, White Iverson, Congratulations featuring Quavo, and I
Fall Apart, from Stoney, 2016, Rockstar featuring 21
Savage, Psycho featuring Ty Dolla $ign, and Better

Sway Lee, from Spider-Man, Into the Spider-Verse,
2018, Circles from Hollywood's Bleeding, 2019, and
Chemical from Austin, 2023.
That same day, Post featured alongside The Kid
LAROI on What You Say, a track from
Youngboy Never Broke Again's sixth album, Don't Try This at Home.
On May 16, 2023, Malone officially announced his
fifth studio album, Austin, set for release on
July 28, 2023, dropping three more singles following the announcement.
I feel like a lot of people look
outwards for inspiration, especially, you know, in COVID and everything.
Everybody's had a lot of times themselves, and
I've kind of realized, like, you gotta look
inwards for inspiration sometimes.
I think for this record, it's a life of its own, you know, and it has
feelings and it has emotion.
It's super raw, and it serves its purpose as an expression of who I am.
Additionally, on July 17, 2023, Malone collaborated with
Noah Cahan on a re-release of Cahan's
single Dial Drunk, featuring new vocals from Malone.
His song climbed the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No.
25.
To top off his 2023, Post Malone received
the Hal David Starlight Award, an honor recognizing
talented young songwriters whose original songs have made
a substantial impact on the music industry.
Thank you so very much,
ladies and gentlemen, and thank you, Lewis Bell.
Lewis Bell, by the way, is the coolest
mofc on the whole entire world.
And I just hope that, you know, over
these years that we've worked together and over
everything that we've done, I've made you proud because
this is the first person who really gave
me a chance and gave me the opportunity
of working together, and Louis Bell, you are
the smartest person I know, and I appreciate
your input and everything that you've done for
me, and offering your heart to me and
offering the opportunity to me, and thank you for offering this to me.
Oh, thanks, guys.
A little bit of beer.
Um, sit down with the guitar, like, just
around a little bit, and then, um, turn
the reverb on in my headphones, and then
listen, and then just try and think of
a melody that makes sense, and then the words come after.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am. So I guess, I don't know, it's beer, a little bit of shrooms, um, and my
baby, and just make me want to kick ass and keep pushing myself to be the
best artist that I can.
You get into the studio, and you never know what you want to make, or you
never know what you want to do, and
it just comes out, and however you're feeling
at the moment, and then one day, whenever
I kick the bucket, uh, it'll all be a culmination of just, you look at the
timeline of how I'm feeling at the time,
and, and I just hope, you know, people
enjoy the music, and people relate to the
music, and just, uh, keep spreading love, and
I guess that's the whole thing that I want.
It's absolutely amazing.
Um, I was speaking to this gentleman here,
and I said, like, sitting down at 12
years old on my bed, writing songs, you know, and, um, this is just so cool
to be, um, in the same breath, and isn't in the same idea as so many
legendary people and artists.
It's so cool.
I'm just happy and honored that people are
listening, and, um, it makes me the proudest guy ever, so I appreciate it.
I gotta put a baby through college, so
I gotta, you know, keep going, but yes, ma'am, and, uh, beer, my baby, and,
um, I don't know, my fans, so.
The following year brought a significant shift in
Post Malone's style and approach to music,
as he embarked on a transformative journey that redefined
his sound and artistic vision.
Post Malone ventured into new territory by collaborating
with different types of artists and incorporating country
influences into his music.
But first, on February 11, 2024, Post Malone
delivered a memorable performance of America the Beautiful
at Super Bowl LIV.
Just a few days earlier, on February 5,
it was revealed that he would be featured
on Fortnite, the opening track of Taylor Swift's
highly anticipated 11th studio album, The Tortured Poet's Department.
♪ And for a fortnight there ♪
♪ We were forever ♪
♪ Run into you sometimes ♪
♪ Ask about the weather ♪
After showing his support for the collaboration on
social media, the album was released on April
19, 2024, with Fortnite chosen as the lead single.
The song quickly made history, breaking Spotify's single
day streaming record, surpassing the previous high, set
by Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You.
At the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, Post
Malone and Taylor Swift took home the award
for best collaboration, for the music video to
their Billboard Hot 100 topping duet.
In June 2022, during an interview on The
Howard Stern Show, Post Malone shared his thoughts
on the idea of recording a country album.
When Howard Stern asked about his interest in
country music, Post replied, Honestly, there's nothing stopping
me from just setting up a camera in
my Utah studio and recording a country album to share on YouTube.
I'm allowed to do that.
I'm a human being.
By 2023, Post had taken his first steps
into country music, collaborating on a re-recording
of Joe Diffie's Pickup Man.
The track marked his debut on the Hot
Country Songs chart, landing at number 34.
In March 2024, Post was featured on Beyonce's
track, Levi's Jeans, from her 8th studio album,
Cowboy Carter.
The song later peaked at number 5 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
By May 10, he was back with a new single, I Had Some Help, featuring Morgan
Wallen.
♪ I had some help ♪
♪ It ain’t like I can make this kind of mess all by myself ♪
♪ Don't act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf ♪
The song made an impressive debut, clearing country
radio's panel in its first week, a feat
only accomplished by Garth Brooks in 1997, and
setting a new Spotify single-day country streaming
record, with nearly 14 million streams.
It also topped various global streaming charts and
debuted at number 18 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
Continuing his streak, on June 13, 2024, Malone
announced Pour Me a Drink, a collaboration with
Blake Shelton, which dropped on June 21.
Then, on June 18, Malone revealed the release
date for his sixth studio album, F1 Trillion,
which came out on August 16, 2024.
A few weeks prior, on July 26, he
released the album's third single, Guy For That,
featuring Luke Combs, solidifying his ongoing success and
versatility across musical genres.
His daughter became a source of inspiration for
his song Yours on the album, reflecting his
emotions as he imagines her growing up and getting married one day.
You're already envisioning your daughter getting married.
I think about it a lot.
♪ And she might be wearin’ white ♪
♪ But her first dress, it was pink ♪
In the United States, F1 Trillion debuted at No.
1 on the Billboard 200, with 250,000
album-equivalent units, including 80,000 pure album sales.
With the release of its deluxe edition, the
album's tracks garnered a total of 212.86
million on-demand streams in the first week alone.
This success marked Malone's third album to reach
the top spot on the Billboard 200 and his sixth to enter the top ten.
Across the Atlantic, F1 Trillion also claimed the
top position on the UK albums chart, making
it Malone's third album to debut at No.
1 in the UK.
I've always wanted to make a record like
this, but for the longest time it seemed
so inaccessible because I don't know how the hell it works.
It was just like so cool and I'm just mind blown.
It's a playground.
It's amazing.
It's really nice meeting people in Nashville that made me feel so welcome.
The reviews for F1 Trillion highlighted Malone's successful
transition into country music, with critics praising his
creativity, songwriting, and genuine appeal in the genre.
Many reviewers, including those from Clash, AllMusic, and
Rolling Stone, commended Malone's stripped-down tracks and solo moments.
Although some, like The Guardian and The Observer,
felt the album could benefit from more risks
and a rarer, less polished sound.
While The Independent noted the album's appeal for
casual country fans, it suggested that Malone's distinctive
style occasionally gets diluted.
Overall, F1 Trillion was seen as an enjoyable,
accessible entry into country music, with room for
Malone to dive deeper into the genre's roots.
From viral sensation to record-breaking superstar, Post
Malone's journey has been anything but ordinary.
He's packed out arenas worldwide and launched the
massively successful PostyFest in 2018 and 2019.
With his unmistakable voice and fearless genre blending,
he's not just created hits.
He's shaped a generation's soundtrack, breaking boundaries and
defying expectations at every turn.
But as his career has evolved, so has his sound.
Recently, he's stepped into new territory, embracing his
love for country music.
A genre that first inspired him as a young artist,
and now offers a new canvas for his creativity.
With tracks that capture raw emotion and storytelling,
he's redefined what it means to be an artist in a world that loves to put
people in boxes.
Whether he's topping charts or surprising fans with
yet another musical twist, Post Malone remains a force that never settles.
Never stops,
and always finds a way to stay true to his heart.
From his groundbreaking quintuple platinum 2016 debut, Stoney,
to the charismatic new direction of F1 Trillion.
As he continues to push the boundaries of
his artistry, one thing is clear, Post Malone's
momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
