Early Life
Austin Richard Post was born in Syracuse, New York, on the 4th of July 1995. You probably know him better by his stage name, Post Malone – rapper, singer, and songwriter.
He was raised by his father, Richard Post, and Jodie, his stepmother. Richard was a DJ when he was a young man and introduced Malone to several genres of music, including hip hop, country, and rock.

Guitar Hero
When Malone was nine, he moved with his family to Grapevine, Texas, because his father was appointed manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys.
He initially started playing the guitar after playing Guitar Hero and, in 2010, auditioned for the American band Crown the Empire. However, he was rejected after his guitar strings broke mid-audition.
