## Life and career

Tomasyn Hayes was born on January 2, 1997 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where they were also raised. As a child, they wrote raps and attended rap cyphers. Hayes has described themself during their youth as "a raw ass kid growing up too fast".

Their single "BustDuster" was released in July 2021. In 2022, they toured as an opening act, first for Dorian Electra and later for Machine Girl, and released their second EP, As Hard As You Can.

It was preceded by the singles "Blisster", "Chokehold", and "Exes".

## Artistry

For Vogue, Janelle Okwodu described Hayes's art as "impulsive, convoluted, and chaotic". They frequently wear smiley or juggalo-inspired clown face paint while performing. Hayes based their stage name on their Instagram username, which they had put "no real thought" into until they started to perform music.
Hayes has described their music as "pretty genre-less" and has called their combination of genres "genrefucking". Raphael Helfand of The Fader described their music as "a combination of hellacious beats and cracked, unhinged vocals" and described their "sex-crazed-canine persona" as having "an extremely specific self-mythology". For the Chicago Reader, Micco Caporale described their music as "a perfect marriage between club-kid uncanniness and Juggalo attitude"; Leah Mandel, for Pitchfork, wrote that their music "typically exerts a hyper-confident lusty indignation" and "always [has] humor". Their music is largely digital hardcore and hip hop and also has elements of heavy metal, jungle, breakcore, nu metal, harsh noise, and electronic music. They have cited Missy Elliott as an influence on their music and image.
