Iann Dior took up creativity at a time when problems began in his personal life. It took exactly one year for Michael to gain popularity and gather around him a multi-million army of fans.
The popular American rap artist with Puerto Rican roots regularly pleases fans of his work with the release of "delicious" tracks that correspond to the latest musical trends.
Childhood and youth
Michael Jan Olmo (real name of the rapper) was born on March 25, 1999 in Arecibo (Puerto Rico). The guy's parents had nothing to do with creativity. In addition to him, they raised a younger sister.
Michael's early years were spent in Corpus Christi (USA). The family moved because they wanted to improve their financial situation. In Corpus Christi, Michael went to school. Here he took up music.
The creative path and music of Iann Dior
The start of Michael's creative career came in 2018. It was then that he experienced not the most pleasant moments of his life. He was abandoned by a girl and, in order to pour out his pain somewhere, he took up composing musical compositions. The rapper released the first tracks under the creative pseudonym Olmo.
Michael proved to be an incredibly productive rapper. Soon there were enough tracks to record a debut LP. The studio was called A Dance With the Devil. For the time being, the singer was skeptical about his work. But after the album gained more than 10 thousand plays, Michael thought about starting a professional career.
The producer TouchofTrent became interested in the rapper's work. He introduced Michael to cinematographer Logan Mason. The guys started recording their debut video. The novelty fell into the hands of Internet Money director Taz Taylor. He liked the sound of the rapper's tracks and invited him to move to the Los Angeles territory for further cooperation.
Success in creativity
After the move, Michael began recording under the pseudonym Iann Dior. He was covered with popularity after the presentation of the composition Cutthroat, released in collaboration with Nick Mira. Michael managed to convey personal experiences associated with a breakup.
The success inspired the rapper to create other compositions. At this time, he presents tracks: Molly, Romance361 and Emotions. The compositions were warmly received by fans and music critics. For the last track, the rapper also presented an ambiguous video clip, which scored several million views on a large video hosting. The rapper had this to say about his popularity:
“Six months ago, I was a nobody. Now that I have fans behind me, I can exchange energy with them. This is the best feeling I have ever experienced. I want my music to help music lovers feel good. That is my motivation."
The fact that the rapper was at the top of popularity allowed him to sign a contract with 10K Projects. Some time later, he presented the mixtape Nothings Ever Good Enough to fans of his work. Emotions was released as a single.
Popularity covered Michael with his head. Then he told the fans that he was actively working on the creation of the second studio album. Artists such as Travis Barker, Trippie Redd and POORSTACY took part in the recording of the new studio album.
The promised record in the music world was born already in 2019. The rapper's longplay was called Industry Plant. The record was topped by 15 tracks. The compilation was produced by Nick Mira and a team of guest musicians.
Details of the artist's personal life
Michael in his interviews pays a lot of attention to past relationships. The ex-girlfriend caused the rapper a lot of pain, but it was such an emotional shake-up that led to the formation of Michael as a singer and musician.
The rapper prefers not to disclose the details of his personal life, so it is not known exactly whether his heart is free or busy. The latest news from Michael's life can be found in the singer's Instagram account.
Iann Dior at present
In support of his second studio album, the rapper went on a tour of the United States of America. In 2020, he took part in the recording of the single by rapper 24kGoldn - Mood. The track managed to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and top the charts in the UK, Australia, Germany and many other countries. In the fall of 2020, the presentation of the video for the song Holding On took place. The work has received over 5 million views.
2021 was not left without musical novelties. This year the presentation of the track Higher (with the participation of Clean Bandit) took place. Clean Bandit talked a little about creating a video clip for the presented composition:
“We had an amazing time in Jamaica. We'd love to have fans take us to colorful places. We love Iann Dior very much, it’s a pleasure to work with the rapper.”
