Career

Goldberg was raised in Marblehead, Massachusetts. He began rhyming at 10 years old, when he wrote his first song, and amassed a large number of fans through music videos on YouTube. He started building his fan base after reaching the age of 14 when he created his official YouTube channel on August 26, 2012, which has garnered over 188 million views overall. After two mixtapes, dozens of YouTube bedroom rap and contest videos, and two albums, he founded his own label Never Too Different in 2020. This was made official with the release of his song "30 People" in August of that year. Earlier the same year, he signed a distribution deal for his label with Atlantic records.[2][3]
