Early life

Laufer attended Crossroads School, a private high school in Santa Monica, California, where he met Nick Meledandri, the co-founder of the Wedidit music collective. Laufer briefly enrolled at the California College of the Arts to study drawing and painting. He left college following the release of his Shlomoshun EP in 2010, which led to an album deal with the Los Angeles-based label Friends of Friends.

Career

Shlohmo released his debut EP Shlo-Fi in 2009. In 2011, his release Bad Vibes gained critical recognition from platforms like Pitchfork and Resident Advisor. He later released several EPs, including Vacation (2012) and Laid Out (2013). Shlohmo gained attention for remixes of tracks like Drake and the Weeknd's "Crew Love" and Banks' "Brain".
In 2014, Shlohmo collaborated with Jeremih on the joint EP No More and in 2015, he released his second studio album Dark Red. During this time period, Shlohmo produced music for Tory Lanez, Corbin, and Yung Lean. In 2017, he executive-produced Corbin's debut LP, Mourn.
In 2018, he worked on and contributed to Joji's debut album Ballads 1. His third LP, The End, was released in March 2019 through the Friends of Friends label.
In 2021, Shlohmo worked on Drake's sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy.
Shlohmo released Repulsor in 2025. The album was preceded by "Chore Boy", a single featuring contributions from the American duo SALEM. The album received positive reviews from critics, with Pitchfork's Brady Brickner-Wood writing that the album showcases Shlohmo "dialing up the distortion, flooding his beats with overdriven synths, and pushing anxious moods into the red".
