Tyler the Creator BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tyler, the Creator has had quite the remarkable week, capping off what's been called his biggest year in music yet. On December 2nd, Apple Music officially crowned him Artist of the Year for 2025, a recognition that reflects his unprecedented streaming dominance. Between November 2024 and October 2025, fans logged over 4.5 billion minutes of listening time to his music across the platform, marking his best year ever in terms of worldwide plays, listeners, and hours consumed.
The accolade comes on the heels of a genuinely historic twelve months for the rapper and creative visionary. His album Chromakopia, released in October 2024, became his most successful project ever on Apple Music by first-day and first-week plays. But he didn't stop there. While actively touring, Tyler wrote, recorded, and released a completely different album mid-tour called Don't Tap the Glass, a stripped-down rap project that shot to number one on Apple Music's overall charts in more than 55 countries the day it dropped.
Tyler's creative output has earned him serious Grammy recognition as well. He secured five nominations for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, with his work recognized across multiple categories including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album for Chromakopia, Best Alternative Music Album for Don't Tap the Glass, and both Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance nominations for tracks like Sticky and Darling, I.
Beyond the music realm, Tyler continues expanding his cultural footprint. He's making his feature film debut in the A24 sports drama Marty Supreme alongside Timothée Chalamet, where he's credited under his given name, Tyler Okonma. Additionally, he collaborated with Fortnite to create custom skins, backblings, emotes, and other cosmetic items that became available to the gaming community.
The touring machine keeps rolling too. His Chromakopia World Tour, which kicked off in February 2025 across more than 80 arena shows internationally, continues through September. He's also headlined major festivals including Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Osheaga, while preparing for the eleventh edition of Camp Flog Gnaw, the festival he created and built himself.
Upon receiving the Apple Music honor, Tyler expressed genuine gratitude to his listeners and encouraged continued support for artists who take creative risks. His message underscored what industry observers have noted all year: Tyler's fearless creative risk-taking, matched only by the meticulous care he takes in presenting his work, continues to inspire both peers and fans alike.
