Post Malone Music
Post Malone first found an interest in music when he started playing the guitar at 14, after being inspired by Guitar Hero. He released his first mixtape Young and After Them Riches, when he was 16, showing classmates who eventually voted him the “Most Likely to Become Famous” in his senior year.
He moved to LA after dropping out of college and started collaborating with artists until his single White Iverson blew up. The single received praise from Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa and saw him get attention from record labels which allowed him to start working with acclaimed musicians like 50 Cent, Kanye West and Young Thug.
Post achieved his first big commercial success with his track ‘rockstar’ featuring 21 Savage. The song hit #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the single-week streaming record on Apple Music with over 25 million streams. It was also Post Malone and 21 Savage’s first #1 song.
From there, he’s seen continued success, with his debut album Stoney going triple platinum and topping Michael Jackson’s record for most weeks on top of the top 10 of Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart when it hit 77 weeks (MJ’s Thriller held the top spot for 76 weeks). He’s also continued to collaborate with a variety of musicians, including Travis Scott, Future and Ozzy Osbourne.
