A career cut short
Born March 15, 1999 in Palm Beach, Florida, POORSTACY got his start on SoundCloud in 2019. That same year, he also released his first extended play, entitled I Don’t Care.
Known for mixing a variety of genres such as rap, emo, heavy metal, punk rock, post-punk and others, POORSTACY eventually dropped a second extended play and later released two studio albums: 2020’s The Breakfast Club and 2021’s Party At the Cemetery.
He was perhaps best known for being featured on the soundtrack for the 2020 movie Bill & Ted Face The Music and for doing multiple collaborations with Travis Barker.
