Early life
Originally from Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, Zucker was raised in a musical household with his parents and two older brothers. While a student at Ramapo High School, he began making music in his bedroom and later joined a band called the "Foreshadows". The first song he wrote was about his brother's fear of heights.[2] After graduating high school, he attended Colorado College where he graduated in 2018 with a degree in molecular biology.[3][4] Before producing his own music, his first job was as a snowboard instructor.[5]
Career
2015–2019: Beach Island, Breathe, Motions, and glisten
In 2015, Zucker released his debut EP Beach Island. He released Breathe containing his breakthrough hit "'Bout it" in December 2016.[6] In 2017, Zucker released Motions, featuring the song "Heavy," which later Blackbear remixed into "Make Daddy Proud" and included on his album Digital Druglord.[7] Zucker and Blackbear later collaborated on the single "Talk Is Overrated" on Zucker's EP Idle. Zucker released Stripped in February 2018, followed by Glisten in May 2018. In September 2018, Zucker released Summer, which contains the song "Comethru." He wrote "Comethru" as a response to graduating college in May 2018 and moving back to his childhood home in New Jersey.[8]

The subsequent singles "Always, I'll Care," "Not Ur Friend," and "Julia" were released on February 7, 2020, February 28, and March 24 respectively, leading up to the album's release on April 17.[9][10] The album is an autobiographical collection of songs that were recorded in Brooklyn during the second half of 2019.[11] On July 24, he released the single "Supercuts". He featured on Claire Rosinkranz's song "Backyard Boy" and "Nothing's the Same" with Alexander 23.[12][13]
On January 15, 2021, Zucker and Cutler released "This Is How You Fall In Love" and they hosted the livestream show Brent: Live on the Internet where they introduced Brent II, which was released on February 5.[14][15][16][17] Beginning in June 2021, Zucker released the songs "18" on June 24, "Honest" on July 23, "Cry With You" on August 20, and "Therapist" on September 17 as singles for his sophomore album Crusher which was released on October 1, 2021.[18]He released "internet crush" on February 10, 2023.[19]

Zucker has cited Blink-182, Jon Bellion, blackbear, Eden, Bon Iver, Mac Miller, and Wet as some of his musical influences.[20]
His music has been described as "a fusion of organic airy beats, lush soundtrack-style soundscapes, and biting Tumblr-worthy lyricism."
