Childhood Gazzy Garcia
Gazzy Garcia was the name of the artist at birth. He later adopted the stage name Lil Pump. Born August 17, 2000 in Miami, Florida. His family had recently moved to the United States of America from Mexico.

Creativity Lil Pump
In his interviews, Lil Pump has repeatedly said that his favorite performers as a child were Chief Keef and Lil B. Until now, he can quote their texts at any time.
A landmark event for the young hooligan was the acquaintance with Omar Pinheir. Today he is widely known in the hip-hop community under the stage name Smokepurpp. The artist talked about how they once spent time and at some point began to read an impromptu freestyle.
Surprised by the guy's natural talent, he took Garcia to a recording studio and forced him to record the first song.
Until that moment, he had not even thought of recording music. Autumn 2015 - the beginning of the active creative activity of Lil Pump. It took quite a bit of time for the young performer to finally gain a foothold on the stage and become one of its main faces.
Lil Pump's success from the first job
The first recorded composition found some success. The song of the same name by Lil Pump was published on the platform for young artists SoundCloud.
