Isis Gaston (born January 1, 2000),[1] known professionally as Ice Spice, is an American rapper. She is best known for her viral songs "Munch (Feelin' U)" and "Bikini Bottom".

Life and career

2000–2020: Early life and career beginnings

Isis Gaston was born on January 1, 2000, in the Bronx, New York,[2] where she was raised in the Fordham Road neighborhood. She is the oldest of five siblings.[3] Her father, a former underground rapper, is African American,[4] while her mother, who gave birth to Gaston at age 17, is Dominican. The two first met at a McDonald's[4] and divorced when Gaston was two years old.[5][6][7][3][8] Because her parents were frequently busy working, she spent much of her time with her grandparents and cousins growing up.[3] She went to school in the Bronx until she was sent to a Catholic high school in Yonkers.[7] At age seven, she took a liking to hip hop after listening to rappers like Lil' Kim, and wrote poetry and freestyle raps from elementary school to high school.[9][6]

2021–present: Mainstream recognition

Ice Spice started rapping in 2021 after meeting with a record producer, RIOTUSA, while they were attending SUNY Purchase, from which she eventually dropped out.[10] He produced her debut song, "Bully Freestyle", released in March 2021 after a video of Ice Spice doing the "Buss It" challenge went viral on Twitter.[4] Her song "Name of Love" gained traction on SoundCloud, which led to her becoming popular on Instagram.[11] Her song "Munch (Feelin' U)", released on August 10, 2022, with a video, and also produced by RiotUSA, gained popularity after getting support from Drake, who played the song on his Sirius XM radio station, Sound 42.[5] It subsequently went viral on Twitter and TikTok, and charted on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Bubbling Under Hot 100 charts.[12][13][6] In September 2022, Ice Spice appeared as a featured artist on the song "One Time" by B-Lovee.[14] Later that month, she signed a record deal with 10K Projects and Capitol Records.[15] On October 28, she released the single "Bikini Bottom".[16]

Musical style

Ice Spice's music is primarily Brooklyn drill.[17][18] Her name came from a “finsta” (secret Instagram account) she made at age 14.[19] She has said she writes all her own lyrics.[3] She was first inspired to start rapping by Sheff G and Pop Smoke, and has listed Lil' Kim, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Foxy Brown, and Remy Ma as musical influences due to their New York roots.[7][5][3] She has also called Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill inspirations because of their "graceful angelic vibe of timeless beauty".[6]

Personal life

Ice Spice has described herself as religious, saying that she prays every day and that "Me and God are besties."[3]
