Although he rose to fame for his music that blended various genres including hip hop, pop, R&B, and trap, the performer (born Austin Richard Post) primarily grew up in Grapevine, Texas, outside of Dallas.

He initially grew up in Syracuse, New York until he ended up moving with his family to The Lone Star State, at age nine, when his dad took a concessions job for the Dallas Cowboys.
While appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience last year, Post said his favorite country artists include Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers and Colter Wall.
He also raved about loving the traditional country sound and praised Wall and Childers for keeping it alive.
Malone began his musical career in 2011, and gained recognition with his 2015 debut single White Iverson, which would peak at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Since then he has released four more studio album: Beerbongs & Bentleys (2018), Hollywood's Bleeding (2019), Twelve Carat Toothache (2022), and most recently Austin (2023), which debuted at number two on Billboard 200.
A departure of sorts from the hip-hop-driven sounds of its predecessor, Austin has been described as being more centered around an alternative rock sound, with touches of synth pop and indie pop.
Fueled by the singles Chemical, Mourning, Overdrive and Enough Is Enough, last year's release became his fifth straight album to reach top five status, en route to accumulating more than 101.14 million on-demand streams of songs from the LP.
In April, he was featured on the lead single, Fortnight, off Taylor Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department.
Post is set to make his Grand Ole Opry debut on August 14, two days before F-1 Trillion is released.
