Career
Prior to his musical career, Whitney worked in several B2B sales positions. In 2015, Whitney moved to Los Angeles, California due to him not musically thriving in Southern Florida. He also gave up his employment. Meeting up with JGRXXN, Whitney joined his collective Schemaposse, which included artists such as Craig Xen and Lil Peep.
In April 2016, after just 1 year with the group, Whitney left Schemaposse. He subsequently released his self-produced album “Blackmage” and his first cinematic music video with his single “John Dee”. Whitney eventually began to associate with fellow Florida rapper Pouya,[19] who released the video for “1000 Rounds” with Ghostemane in April 2017. The video quickly went viral and as of May 2021, has over 29 million views.
In late 2017, Whitney saw greater success when art collective TRASH GANG created and released their 1930s cartoon edit music video for his song “Mercury: Retrograde”. The cartoon was a 1933 Betty Boop short, Snow-White, featuring Cab Calloway as Koko singing St. James Infirmary. The video has since climbed to over 419 million views, making it his most well known single.
In 2021, Ghostemane’s music video “AI”, directed by Nick Cinelli, was nominated for Most Bizarre at the Berlin Music Video Awards.
