In Spring 2011, Tyler (along with Odd Future) signed a deal with Sony and released his first studio album, “Goblin,” in May.

Tyler made his television debut in February 2011 on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” performing “Sandwitches.” In March 2012, his and Odd Future’s show “Loiter Squad” premiered on Adult Swim, produced by the same company behind “Jackass.” This live-action show featured pranks, sketches, and music, spanning three seasons.

In April 2013, the music video for “Fucking Young,” a song from his 2015 album “Cherry Bomb,” premiered on Odd Future’s YouTube channel. Following his appearance at the 2015 Coachella Music and Arts Festival, Tyler went on an extensive world tour covering North America, Europe, and Asia that lasted until September 2015.

In the summer of 2017, Tyler launched his fourth album titled “Flower Boy.” The singles “Boredom” and “I Ain’t Got Time!” supported the album, which received a nomination for Best Rap Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, although Kendrick Lamar won that year with “Damn.”

Every year since fall 2012, Tyler hosts the Camp Flog Gnaw festival at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

The brand is deeply rooted in hip-hop, streetwear, and skateboarding cultures.

Speculation surrounding Tyler’s sexuality has arisen over the years. He has included references to same-sex relationships in his lyrics and discussed these aspects in interviews as well. In 2018, he was romantically linked to Jaden Smith.
