Early life

Career
Goyard released his debut EP, Depth Perception, on April 25, 2019. When describing one of its singles, "The Louvre", Goyard explained that he wanted to create a "nostalgic feeling" and make the song sound "fun yet gritty at the same time".[3] He wanted to incorporate 90's cultural references to invoke introspection and inspire them to dig deeper.[4]
In 2024, Goyard went on tour with the black metal band Portrayal of Guilt. The experience inspired him to release the album Tastemaker in 2025, themed after Dante's Inferno and blending 2000s punk, grunge, and alternative with cloud rap.[1][5]
Influences and artistry
Goyard' s music is of the cloud rap genre. He has said that he is influenced by artists such as Chief Keef, Soulja Boy, and the band All Time Low, in addition to the genres of screamo and pop punk.[6] Goyard stated that his favorite album of all time was I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love by My Chemical Romance.[1] In his songs, he pitches and speeds up his voice, often over breakbeat production.[4][7] Describing Goyard's 2019 single, "Tarot Card", Will Gendron of The Fader described its instrumental as "electro Zaytoven".[8]
