Early life
editJantz was born and raised in South Florida and attended Admiral Farragut Academy.[3]
Career
editHe released his first album in 2013, with subsequent releases attracting little attention.[3]
In 2016, he released "Silver Spoon", his first pro-Trump song, and "was later able to carve out a niche for himself within the movement surrounding Donald Trump".[3] Since then, his music and videos have been supportive of conservative figures and groups, including Roger Stone, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the Proud Boys.[3][4][5] His music often concerns culture war topics, for instance, a song titled "Boycott Target", which accused Target of grooming children with pride merchandise, reached #1 on iTunes.[6]
Jantz was featured in a song with Vanilla Ice and Kodak Black in 2021.[7]
