He grew up in a troubled household but found solace in music, drawing inspiration from artists like T-Pain and Lil Wayne. Trippie Redd began releasing music online as a teenager and quickly gained attention with his distinctive style that blended elements of hip-hop, rock, and R&B. His breakout single, "Love Scars," became a viral hit when he debuted it on SoundCloud. He soon dropped his debut mixtape, "A Love Letter to You," in 2017, which led to a record deal with TenThousand Projects. Trippie Redd's subsequent project, his first studio album "Life's a Trip" (2018) debuted in the top ten of the Billboard 200.
