A California native, LeyvaLovesYou grew up on a small goat farm in the outskirts of Los Angeles. Leyva was attracted to music in 2017 by eccentric artists, such as Lil Peep, Wavvvydan, and Smokeasac. Heavily influenced by the likes, he makes music blurring the lines between hip-hop, alternative, and many avant garde genres. Leyva soon met fellow hip hop artist, Kaz9, and together, they founded the Ouroboros Gang collective in May 2020. I'm conjunction with his cousin, he also takes part in a producer duo called Temperance.
