Early life

Austin Richard Post was born on July 4, 1995, in Syracuse, New York. He was raised by his father, Richard Post, and his stepmother, Jodie. His father had been a DJ in his youth and introduced Malone to many genres of music including hip-hop, country, and rock. When Malone was nine years old, he and his family moved to Grapevine, Texas, after his father became the manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys football team. According to Malone, his first foray into professional music began when he played guitar in a local metalcore band. His interest in the genre persisted past this endeavor as he also auditioned as a guitarist for the Texas-based metalcore group Crown the Empire in 2010, but was rejected after his guitar strings broke during the audition. He credited his initial interest in learning guitar to the video game series Guitar Hero.
Malone has expressed his affinity for alternative rock music, and appeared for a DJ set at Emo Nite in Los Angeles, California, in June 2017, playing songs by My Chemical Romance at the event. He says soon afterwards he transitioned to softer rock as well as hip-hop, before beginning to experiment on FL Studio.

2010–2016: Career beginnings, August 26th and Stoney

According to Malone, he chose "Post Malone" as his stage name when he was "14 or 15". The name was rumored to be a reference to the professional basketball player Karl Malone, but Malone later explained that "Post" is his last name, and he used a "rap name generator" to get "Malone".
In 2010, Malone reportedly played guitar in the metalcore band Ashley's Arrival (also known as Saving Summer) during his high school years. That same year, he auditioned for Crown the Empire as a guitarist. In a 2016 interview, vocalist Andy Leo recalled that Malone broke a guitar string during the audition and was not selected.
In late 2011, Malone released his oldest known solo project, an 11-track mixtape titled Manifest Destiny.
In 2013, Malone was a member of the band Love In Colors, in which he performed as a vocalist and guitarist.

After moving to Los Angeles, Malone, Probst, and several other producers and artists formed the music group BLCKVRD and recorded music together.

Musical style

Malone's music combines pop, hip-hop, trap, country, R&B, and rock, often falling into the styles of cloud rap, pop rap, indie folk, and rap rock. Malone's music has been described as a "melting pot of the country, grunge, hip-hop and R&B" that he grew up on, and Malone himself has been described as versatile. His vocal style has been described as "laconic". Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described Malone as "an artist who toes the line between singing and rapping, and hip-hop and spooky electric folk". Malone himself has called his music "genre-less".
Malone cites Bob Dylan, in whom he became interested around the age of 15, as an influence on his music, calling him "a genius" and "a god" though his music has been called "about as far away from Rock n' Roll as you can get". He called "Subterranean Homesick Blues" the "first rap song". He has a tattoo of Dylan as well. Malone has cited Kurt Cobain and Johnny Cash as key influences too. Malone has also cited 50 Cent, whom he called a legend, Kanye West and Key! as influences.

Relationship with the hip-hop community

Malone has been called a "culture vulture" multiple times by different publications and on social media for appropriating African-American culture. California rapper Lil B wrote on Twitter in October 2017: "Post Malone is slowly turning into a white dude! Lol he's pushing it, give it a few years he gon be full country and hate blacks lol", with Malone replying in an interview, claiming that his white skin has been "used against him". In January 2018, Malone went on an intoxicated rant against people who describe him as a culture vulture. In an interview with GQ several days later, Malone said "there's a struggle being a white rapper."
In a November 2017 interview with Polish media outlet Newonce, Malone said that modern hip-hop music lacks "people talking about real shit" and added that "if you're looking to think about life, don't listen to hip-hop." He was criticized for his comments, including by fellow rappers Lil B and Vince Staples. Malone later appeared in a video on Twitter, saying that the reason for his comments was that it was a "beer-tasting" interview, and going on to say that he loves hip-hop. Newonce, however, denied that claim, stating that Malone barely drank at all during the interview. In the follow-up Malone said, "What I was saying was that when I wanna sit down and cry, I sit down and I listen to Bob Dylan and his guitar. Just like everyone else, no matter how hard you are, no matter where you're from, you're gonna have times where you sit back and reflect on your life and you listen to what you wanna listen to. For me, that's Bob Dylan."
