Beginning his music career at the age of 14, Earl Sweatshirt [born Thebe Neruda Kgositsile] began posting self-made tracks on SoundCloud under the moniker Sly Tendencies, before ultimately changing his name after being discovered by Tyler, The Creator and given the call up to join the globally-acclaimed rap collective, Odd Future.
The rapper released his debut mixtape Earl in 2010 at just 16 years old, to widespread recognition and praise from critics and fans. After a two-year hiatus, Earl released his debut studio album, Doris, produced alongside Odd Future, which peaked at #23 on the ARIA Albums Chart and stands as one of his most iconic albums to date, with Pitchfork defining him as ‘skilled beyond his years’. Globally successful tracks such as ‘Chum’ and ‘Sunday’ (feat. Frank Ocean) catapulted a young Earl Sweatshirt into the spotlight as he was well and truly placed on the world stage as a gifted rapper, lyricist and producer.
Don’t miss out as Earl Sweatshirt makes his highly-anticipated return to Australia and New Zealand this October!
