Born in New York City and raised in Houston, Texas, Burke began composing music in 2021 for his Fortnite gameplay montages. He first achieved commercial success with his 2022 singles "Romantic Homicide" and "Here with Me", both of which earned multiple platinum certifications.

In 2025, he released his debut studio album, Withered, which peaked at number 13 on the US Billboard 200.

In September 2025, police discovered the dismembered body of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez inside a vehicle registered to Burke. Following her identification, his ongoing tour and a planned deluxe reissue of Withered were canceled. He was arrested on April 16, 2026, on suspicion of murdering Rivas and is being held without bail. On April 20, Burke was charged with first-degree murder of Rivas with special circumstances, lewd and lascivious acts with an individual under 14, and mutilating a body. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.
