Songwriter and producer Lil Aaron blurs the line between rap, pop, trap, emo, and punk to create his uniquely off-kilter approach to music. Aaron entered the world in 1994, born into a Christian family who prohibited secular music; regardless, he was able to discover music through the internet, where he stumbled across the emo and punk bands that formed his entry point into popular music. As his tastes changed he gravitated toward rap music, specifically the growing number of independent artists who were posting their music online. Eventually Aaron decided to act on his passion; he dropped out of school, moved to Los Angeles, and started work as a songwriter. Early in his career, he worked alongside a variety of artists, including Icona Pop, D.R.A.M., Travis Mills, and Kiiara before realizing that he wanted to perform some of the tracks he was writing himself. At the beginning of 2017, he released his first track, "Damn," alongside producer/DJ Y2K; later the same year he followed-up with his debut EP, Gloing Pain$. ~ Liam Martin
