**Tyler, the Creator** is an American rapper, singer, producer and fashion designer who is considered one of the most influential artists on the modern hip-hop scene. Born Tyler Gregory Okonma in Los Angeles in 1991, he first rose to fame as co-founder and frontman of the collective *Odd Future*. With his provocative style, controversial lyrics and unique productions, he made his mark on the alternative hip-hop movement of the 2010s. His debut album *Goblin* (2011), with the hit single *Yonkers*, catapulted him to the top of the indie rap scene and made him a polarising figure.
Tyler, the Creator is known for constantly reinventing himself. His sound has evolved from the dark, aggressive sounds of his early years to a more complex, experimental style that incorporates elements of soul, jazz and funk. Albums such as *Flower Boy* (2017) and *Igor* (2019) show his artistic maturity and received high praise from critics. In 2020, *Igor* won him the Grammy for Best Rap Album and cemented his reputation as a versatile artist who pushes the boundaries of hip-hop. His lyrics often deal with self-reflection, identity and emotional complexity.
In addition to his music career, Tyler has also made a name for himself as a fashion designer and producer. He founded the fashion brand *Golf Wang* and is known as the director of his music videos and the creative mind behind his projects. Tyler, the Creator is a key figure in the contemporary music landscape not only for his musical influence, but also for his subversive and innovative approach to art and pop culture.
