Nov 15, 2015
Austin Post better known by his stage name Post Malone, is an American singer and recording artist from Dallas, Texas. He first gained major recognition for his single "White Iverson" after releasing it on SoundCloud in February 2015. He is currently signed with Republic Records, and has further released more music with the most popular recent song being "Too Young".
After leaving college, Post moved from Dallas to Los Angeles with long time friend Jason Stokes (also known as Minecraft Universe), and lived with the popular YouTube gaming group TeamCrafted, and appeared in many of their YouTube videos, though several videos he participated in were later removed from the site. He later participated in a music group known as BLKCVRD, which consisted of Billie Gvtes, Jason Stokes, Post Malone and several more artists. He also met 1st and Rich of FKi Music, who helped him produce "White Iverson" and other songs. Post recorded the song two days after he wrote it. He thought of the name after getting braids in his hair, thinking he looked liked a "White Iverson", a reference to the professional basketball player, Allen Iverson.
