Born in Irvine, California, to a Mexican father and a Romanian mother, Smith spent his formative years in Lake Oswego, Oregon, before moving to New York and Los Angeles to chase music. He generated massive internet hype in 2021 through TikTok with viral, bell-heavy underground anthems like "Gët Busy" and "Sorry Bout That," anchoring his breakout project Up 2 Më. Known for wearing balaclavas, creating his own language (using terms like "twizzy," "luh," and heavy use of Germanic umlauts like ë), and engineering his own distorted, bass-boosted vocals, Yeat has rapidly evolved past internet novelty. He has since captured the attention of hip-hop titans like Drake, scoring his first Billboard 200 number-one record with Lyfestyle (2024), and expanding his sonic landscape into darker, cinematic worlds on subsequent albums like 2093 and his double-album release, ADL (A Dangerous Lyfe).
