BIO

A rapper, producer, fashion designer, video director, TV producer, festival organizer and cultural trend-setter — Tyler, The Creator is a one-man creative phenom. Tyler burst onto the scene in 2011 with his cockroach-eating “Yonkers” video, introducing the world to his rebellious skate-rat Odd Future collective that also included Earl Sweatshirt, Frank Ocean and The Internet. Since his rabble-rousing beginnings, though, Wolf Haley has matured both artistically and personally, showcasing his musical range and fluid sexuality on albums such as Flower Boy and IGOR. Just as Pharrell inspired him, Tyler’s own influence can be felt in a whole generation of left-field artists including Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X and Kevin Abstract.
