## Early life

Cardona was born on May 23, 1999, in Phoenix, Arizona. He is mixed of Mexican and African-American ancestry. When he was 4, his father was imprisoned. He was raised by two lesbian mothers. At an early age, he became interested in music and making raps, often posting them online. In early 2017, he went viral for a video freestyling the chorus to his song later titled "Jennifer" in his high school bathroom.

## Career

Cardona first rose to prominence in 2017 with the release of “Jennifer,” which led to a deal with labels including Island Records. The song was made after the freestyle recorded in his high school bathroom went viral on Facebook. He released more singles, but none of them generated another hit leading him to be dropped from Island Records. After his initial success died down, Cardona found himself delivering food and working other odd jobs to support himself.
In early 2021, Cardona's 2017 single "Dinero" resurfaced on TikTok, gaining massive popularity. The track quickly became the No. 1 song on TikTok’s viral chart, amassing over 65 million streams across platforms and landing on the Billboard Global 200 chart. This resurgence provided Cardona with a momentum to relaunch his career as he rejoined Island Records. He expressed a desire to release Latin fusion music, as an ode to his heritage.
In 2022, he released "Love Me Back", which accumulated millions of streams and success on TikTok. He was included on "Hayya Hayya (Better Together)", released in 2022 for the FIFA World Cup. He released the single "Hurt Me" in 2024.
