Lil Uzi Vert is the stage name of Symere Bysil Woods, an American rapper, singer, and songwriter who was born on July 31, 1995.
They are distinguished by their face tattoos and piercings, odd hairdos, and androgynous clothing, aesthetics based on a melodic emo approach to trap.
Philadelphia-born and -bred Lil Uzi Vert first received attention when the commercial mixtape Love Is Rage (2015) was released. This led to a recording deal with Atlantic Records, where they signed under DJ Drama’s Generation Now brand.
