Early life
Smokepurpp was born on May 15, 1997, in Chicago, Illinois. He and his family moved to Miami, Florida when he was three years old. Speaking on his upbringing, Pineiro described himself during high school as a calm individual who surrounded himself with diverse groups of people.
Pineiro began his music career as a producer, a hobby he picked up due to boredom. While doing this, he had a major influence in getting his friend Lil Pump into rapping as well. He began to rap when no one bought his produced instrumentals and due to the success of several tracks on the audio distribution platform SoundCloud, Pineiro dropped out of high school in his senior year.
His musical influences include Kanye West, Taking Back Sunday, Every Avenue, Young Thug, and Lucki.
Career
2014–2016: Early work
Pineiro originally started to pursue music in high school, starting as a producer, as many others, Pineiro started publishing his art on SoundCloud. Pineiro began to rap due to the lack of people actually buying his produced instrumentals. Pineiro's first song was released on SoundCloud in 2015, but he quickly deleted it due to its lack of quality, soon uploading his second song, "Live Off a Lick" featuring Florida native rapper XXXTentacion. Pineiro eventually dropped out of high school due to his budding music career. Pineiro later released his first music video on September 23, 2014, titled "It's Nothin" with rapper Lil Ominous, who is also Pineiro's cousin.

Pineiro released his commercial debut single, "Audi", in May 2017. The single soon became his biggest song with over 25 million plays on SoundCloud and 122 million streams on Spotify as of October 2017. In September 2017, Pineiro announced that the release date for Deadstar was September 22, releasing the single "Bless Yo Trap" following the announcement. Pineiro announced later on that Deadstar would be delayed, stating no expected release date.
On September 28, 2017, Pineiro released Deadstar. The mixtape includes features from artists such as Chief Keef, Juicy J and Travis Scott.
