Born in New York City, he moved to West Palm Beach, Florida at seven years old, where he would begin his rap career through SoundCloud in 2016.[1] Snot rose to fame with the release of his breakout single "Gosha" in September 2018.[3]

Early life and career[]

Edouard was born in Brooklyn, New York City,[4] and moved to West Palm Beach, Florida at age 7.[1] In early 2016, he started his music career on Soundcloud. In September 2018, he would release a single, "Gosha", which would blast him into the rap scene and kickstart his widespread media popularity.

Career[]

2017: Career beginnings[]

Snot began his music career in 2016 while in high school, revealing to Jack Angell of Complex that he "was listening to dudes like Xavier Wulf, Bones, Yung Lean, Lil Wayne, and Tyler, the Creator... along with Memphis artists like Shawty Pimp and the influential Memphis-based group Three 6 Mafia". Snot expanded more on the topic by stating to interviewers, "That's how I got into this stuff, and things started happening. My friend Wetback Manny was already putting shit on SoundCloud and he introduced me to recording and how to use a microphone. That's when I did it by myself, but I had a USB mic and it was kind of trash. But then Manny got a condenser mic, so I guess I got lucky."[5]

2018–2019: The Tissue Files and "Gosha"[]

On April 24, 2018, Snot self-released his first EP The Tissue Files, featuring verses from Cameronazi and Subjectz, as well as production from Frakcija, Kaji, Windxws, and YZ.[6] This EP was Snot's final release before releasing his YZ-produced breakout hit "Gosha" on September 7, 2018.[7]

Snot's single "Billy Boy" was featured in the pilot episode of HBO's American teen drama Euphoria.[8][9]
