Having started making music, the guy over time expanded the scope of his professional activity and literally created a cult around his own clothing brand called Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (abbreviated OFWGKTA). Thus, Tyler became something of a multimedia musician-businessman.

Tyler Gregory Okonma was born on March 6, 1991 in the tiny American town of Ladera Heights, California. From his father he inherited Nigerian roots, and from his mother - European-Canadian. The performer said that he had never seen his father and did not communicate with him.

As a child, he lived in Ladera Heights and Hotthorn (located in the southwest of Los Angeles). Already at the age of 7, the future rap artist drew in his imagination the design of covers for fictional music albums, including songs that were not even written. By the age of 14, Tyler, without the help of a teacher, mastered playing a classical keyboard instrument.

During 12 years of study in Los Angeles and Sacramento, the rapper constantly changed schools, eventually reaching 12. The performer has 2 weeks of experience at the FedEx postal company and 2 years of experience at the worldwide popular Starbucks coffee shop.

With the help of the international social network Myspace, the rapper invented a stage name for himself. As a regular user, he posted various media content on the Web and added the prefix The Creator to the main name Tyler. Over time, the name on the artist's profile appeared as Tyler, The Creator.

The creative biography of the talented hip-hop artist is associated with cooperation with the British independent label XL Recordings, as well as with his own record company Odd Future Records. In addition to building a solo career, Tyler, The Creator is developing as the leader of the OFWGKTA team, which performs songs in the genre of alternative hip-hop.

Okonma has done his own rap for a large number of the band's tracks, as well as produced and photographed the covers of all OFWGKTA's releases. The guy said in an interview with DJ Semtex that he creates designs for all the costumes and paraphernalia of the participants.

On December 25, 2009, Tyler Gregory, without any help, prepared the first mixtape for release, which entitled Bastard. The editors of the glossy publication Pitchfork Media awarded the musical work of the aspiring solo musician the 32nd position in the "Best Release of the Year" rating.

In the winter of 2011, Okonma presented the music video for Yonkers, the first single from his debut studio album Goblin, which hit stores on May 10 of the same year. The visual work attracted the attention of some media and was later nominated for a music award by the popular television channel MTV.

Tyler Gregory Okonma is ranked 9th in the ranking of the "25 best rappers in the world under the age of 25" according to the American magazine Complex. In 2015 and 2016, the hip-hop artist flew to Russia and gave several successful concerts in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg.

Tyler has been criticized for ambiguous homophobic expressions in his songs and tweets. The performer quickly reacted to the criticism and stated that he was not homophobic and used epithets of this kind as an adjective to describe worthless nonsense, and among his fans there are people with non-traditional sexual orientation who are not offended by texts of this nature.

Okonma also said that if it "touches someone," then it is purely personal problems. In this case, the rapper expressed that, because many perceive this differently if it was called "nigger", he would not be hurt. During the period when fellow rapper Frank Ocean came out, declaring that he was gay, Tyler was one of the first to publicly support the musician, although he was still spoken of as homophobic.

After the release of the album Scum Fuck Flower in the songs Garden Shed, Foreword, I Ain't Got Time and Ziploc, which were released separately, critics discovered a hidden meaning and felt that the artist confessed his orientation. In the summer of 2017, Tyler told one publication that he was in a relationship with a young man when he was 15 years old, but over time he refuted his own words and said that he used it as a figurative expression.

At various times, such rapper's compositions as Heart of Gold, Boredom, Rusty, Tamale and many others, became hits and objects for criticism and active discussion due to the use of obscene language and acute social topics.

None of the official sources contain reliable information about the performer's personal life and whether he has a girlfriend, but rumors about gay sex are constantly fueled by various events.

For example, a controversial reaction followed the public statement of singer and actor Jaden Smith, who is a friend of Tyler. At the rapper's concert, the son of the famous actor very emotionally announced that Okonma was not only his best friend, but also his boyfriend. The performer himself translated it all as a joke and continued to develop this topic on his pages on Instagram and Twitter.

In the fall of 2018, the young man got into a car accident while trying to park in his snow-white Tesla X in one of the Los Angeles neighborhoods. Tyler's fans sounded the alarm, but later it became known that no one was hurt during the incident. The musician denied rumors that he was drunk at that time, saying that he simply did not get enough sleep the day before.

On May 17, 2019, the discography of the creative man was replenished with the 6th official work - he published a new disc called Igor on the World Wide Web, consisting of 12 tracks. Songs such as Earthquake and Running Out of Time gained particular popularity.

Now the artist continues to write music, go on tour and develop his design brand.
