Tyler Gregory Okonma (born March 6, 1991), better known as Tyler, the Creator, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and music video director. He rose to prominence in the early 2010s as the co-founder and de facto leader of the alternative hip hop group Odd Future, and has performed on and produced songs for nearly every Odd Future release. As a solo artist, Tyler has released one mixtape and five studio albums, often handling most or all production himself.

Following a large contribution to Odd Future's early work, Tyler released his debut solo mixtape B*st*rd in 2009. After releasing his debut studio album Goblin under XL Recordings in April 2011, he signed a joint venture deal with RED Distribution and Sony Music Entertainment for him and his label Odd Future Records. With his gritty and horrorcore-influenced earlier releases, Tyler was often criticized for his use of homophobic and misogynistic slurs in his lyrics. He subsequently released the albums Wolf (2013) and Cherry B*mb (2015). In 2015, he was banned from entering the UK for three to five years, which forced him to cancel a string of tour dates supporting Cherry B*mb. Tyler's fourth album Flower Boy (2017) was met with widespread acclaim and was considered to be a contrast from his previous releases, as he experimented with a more melody-focused and jazz-fused sound. His fifth album Igor (2019) debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming his first US number one album. Featuring heavy synths with neo soul melodies, Igor won Best Rap Album at the 62nd Grammy Awards.

Tyler has won a Grammy Award, MTV Video Music Award, and Wall Street Journal Award. He has created all of the cover art for Odd Future's releases, and has also designed the group's clothing and other merchandise. In 2011, Tyler started the clothing company Golf W*ng. In 2012, he began hosting an annual music festival named the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. He created his own streaming service app named Golf Media, which ran between 2015 and 2018 and contained original scripted series from Tyler and a live stream of each Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.

On May 6, 2019, Okonma released two short video clips on his online profiles which featured new music. The videos showed him dancing erratically while wearing a long blonde wig, multicolored suit, black sunglasses, and a grill; he donned the same style for pictures on his social media and the music videos for the album's singles. He soon announced his fifth studio album, Igor, which was released on May 17. Igor was met with widespread critical acclaim and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming Tyler's first number-one album in the United States. The album also features the song Earfquake, which peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. On December 23, 2019, Okonma released two songs, Best Interest, a song that did not make the cut of Igor that was released with a music video, and Group B. Igor won the award for Best Rap Album at the 62nd Grammy Awards.
