Early Life

He was born as Leland Tyler Wayne, in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 6, 1993. He started to make his first beats while still in Parkway North High School. He actually began to experiment with music production at the age of 13, when he received his first laptop computer.

Using a program called Fruity Loops, he spent his time making beats. He also had other experiences in music, mostly from playing the guitar in a school band.

Metro Boomin started completely from scratch and actually taught himself the basic skills by googling what he needed. With strong will and persistence to succeed, as well as the immense talent he had on his side, he made a promise to his mother he was one day going to make it, and become a producer.

He went on to hunt for established rappers through Twitter and offered them his beats. He would also do it for free, just to gain recognition. His lucky break came when he caught the attention of OJ da Juiceman, who introduced him as an up and coming songwriter and beatmaker while he was still attending high school. It was here when he came up with the name. “Metro” is from the MetroLink, subway in St. Louis, while OJ gave him “Boomin”.

Differently, from most other artists and celebrities, Leland kept studying and had high grades despite spending a lot of time in the studio. This was another promise he made to his mom. He even started Morehouse College, a private HBCU in Atlanta, Georgia, where he now lives.

He studied Business Management but dropped out eventually to fully focus on music. During this time, a song called “Karate Chop” by a famous rapper Future unexpectedly became a huge hit. He produced it, which was a real turning point for his career.

Career Development

His career really started at 16, when he had already worked on his skills in music for three years. He mainly focused on rap, hip-hop, trap, and RnB genres. When his first mixtape came out, called “19& Boomin”, he was only 19 years old. Two albums, titled “Perfect Timing” and “Savage Mode”, followed soon thereafter.

During the start of his career, while he still attended school, he traveled to Atlanta every weekend in his car to work with OJ, Gucci Mane, and Future.

When he hit it big, he moved to Atlanta for good and established collaborations with Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, and others.

One of his best and most successful works so far is the 2015 mixtape by Drake and Future, titled “What a Time to Be Alive”. He followed this by working on Future’s album in 2016. That year, he won the BET Hip Hop Award for the Producer of the Year.

He is also behind the planetary hit by Migos, “Bad and Boujee”, which was a number one hit on many charts and lists.
