Montero Lamar Hill, better known as Lil Nas X, was born on April 9, 1999, and has quickly become a significant figure in the music industry as a rapper, singer, and songwriter. He burst onto the scene with his genre-blending hit "Old Town Road," which gained viral traction in early 2019. The song not only topped charts across the globe but also achieved diamond certification by November of the same year, amassing over ten million units in sales and streams.
Lil Nas X made waves at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, where he earned the distinction of being the most-nominated male artist. He took home Grammy awards for Best Music Video and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. His accolades also include two MTV Video Music Awards, including Song of the Year, and the American Music Award for Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Song. Notably, he is recognized as the first openly LGBTQ+ Black artist to receive a Country Music Association award. In 2019, Time magazine featured him among the 25 most influential people on the Internet, and in 2020, he was included in Forbes' 30 Under 30 list.
On April 26, 2022, he unveiled his inaugural concert tour, the Long Live Montero Tour, supporting his debut album "Montero," which commenced in September 2022 and concluded in January 2023.
