Lil Uzi Vert is the stage name of Symere Bysil Woods, an American rapper, singer, and songwriter who was born on July 31, 1995.

The aesthetic of Woods, which is based on a melodic emo approach to trap, is marked by their facial tattoos, facial piercings, odd hairstyles, and androgynous clothing.

Philadelphia-born and -bred Lil Uzi Vert first received attention after the commercial mixtape Luv Is Rage (2015) was released. This led to a recording deal with Atlantic Records, where they signed under DJ Drama’s Generation Now brand.
