Early life

Born David Anthony Burke[6][7] in Queens, New York City,[8] he would later move to Houston, Texas.[9][2] He was homeschooled after seventh grade. [10]

Career

2021: Early career

Burke's career in music started when he made montage videos of the video game Fortnite and decided to make his own music in order to prevent himself from receiving copyright strikes.[11] Burke has been a long-standing member of the esports organization Team Limit.

2022–2023: Petals to Thorns and The Lost Petals

Before his rise to prominence, Burke released his music to SoundCloud, including songs such as ''You and I" and "Take Me To the Sun".[1] Following the song's success on the video sharing app TikTok, he released the single "Romantic Homicide" on July 20, 2022.[12] "Romantic Homicide" charted at No. 3 on the Hot Alternative Songs charts.[13] The song's success led to Burke being contacted by Darkroom and Interscope Records, leading to him signing with the label in September 2022.[14]

Originally released to SoundCloud before "Romantic Homicide", Burke's next single, "Here with Me" was officially released to streaming services in September 2022.[1] The song entered multiple charts following its use on TikTok, most notably at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and reaching the top ten in Singapore.[15]

Burke's debut extended play, Petals to Thorns, was released through Darkroom/Interscope records on May 26, 2023.[16]

2024

In March 2024, he joined gaming and lifestyle brand 100 Thieves as a content creator. In the same month, Burke released the single "Feel It" for the soundtrack of Amazon Prime Video's television series Invincible.[17]

Influences

In an interview with the Japanese YouTuber Takashii, while Burke was in Japan for Fuji Rock, he stated that anime is "one of [his] biggest influences", specifically citing the "high energy" shonen genre, including Dragon Ball Z, Naruto and My Hero Academia, with its "fluid, fast paced movement", considering the fighting "poetic".[18]
