Born Lawal Izuagbe on November 18th, 1995, in Decatur, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, ARTLANTA's early life was marked by challenges. Losing his father at the age of 5 left him and his seven siblings in the care of his hardworking mother, Mariam Izuagbe, who held two jobs to sustain the family. Despite facing adversity, ARTLANTA discovered solace in creativity, utilizing art and music as outlets for self-expression. Growing up in a modest environment, he faced bullying for his unique style, unaware that he possessed an innate sense of fashion. High school became a pivotal period for ARTLANTA, providing an essential outlet for him to disconnect from reality, channeling his emotions into his art and music. At the age of 18, driven by the desire for success and the goal of making his mother proud, he made the bold decision to drop out of high school and relocate to Los Angeles, California, to pursue his dreams and take control of his destiny.
