Austin Richard Post was born on 4 July 1995 in a small New York town. His father Rich Post used to be a DJ and managed to cultivate the love for music in his son. When Austin was a teenager, he came up with a stage name Post Malone, using an online rap singer name generator. In 2011, the young man recorded his first mix called "Young and After Them Riches". In order to create and polish it, he used a free audio editor Audacity. Austin’s friends loved his first song. In Grapevine High School, Post’s classmates called him “Most Likely to Become Famous” and they were right. After finishing high school, Austin enrolled at Tarrant County College but soon quit and moved to Los Angeles. In LA, he joined several aspiring musicians and created a music band called BLCKVRD.
In 2014, Post met Trocon “FKi 1st” Roberts and Steven "Sauce Lord Rich" Bolden from FKi production company. Roberts said that when he heard Malone sing, he immediately realized that the young man had a bright future ahead of him. FKi produced and recorded Austin’s track "White Iverson". In February 2015, the single was uploaded to SoundCloud from Post Malone’s account. In just three weeks, the song collected over a million views. In July, Malone recorded a music video, which, from the moment it was released, collected more than 552 million views to date. The song received awards from Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa. FKi made it into the top-5 of the Billboard list in 2014. A year later, XXL called it the hottest producing team in Atlanta.
Austin’s success caught the attention of several recording labels. In August 2015, he signed a contract with Republic Records to record an album. At about the same time, Post Malone performed at Kylie Jenner’s birthday party, where he met Kanye West. West liked Post’s work, which led to their collaboration for recording a single “Fade” for Kanye’s LP The Life of Pablo. A while later, Malone met Justin Bieber, who invited him to work as an opening act at his promotion tour. Later, Post Malone worked with many famous artists, including 50 Cent and Young Thug
