Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, West first came to prominence in the early 2000s as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, working on singles for a number of artists and creating the “chipmunk soul” sampling sound.

He released his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), to critical and financial acclaim with the goal of forging a solo career as a rapper.

On the albums, Late Registration (2005), Graduation (2007), and 808s & Heartbreak, West experimented with a variety of musical components, including orchestras, synths, and autotune (2008).

With The Life of Pablo (2016) and Ye (2018), West expanded his range of musical genres, and Jesus Is King (2019) saw him go into Christian and gospel music.
