Life and career

Isaiah Faber was born on March 31, 1999, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. His father is Dave Faber of the band Faber Drive. He learned to play the drums at age two, and as a teenager, he borrowed his father's microphone and began rapping over \"super relaxing\" beats he found online. In high school, he began recording in his basement and uploading his favorite songs to SoundCloud.\n

In February 2019, he released the song \"Death Bed\" on SoundCloud and YouTube, sampling British singer Beabadoobee's debut single \"Coffee.\" It garnered 5 million plays on SoundCloud and 24 million plays on YouTube. He subsequently licensed the Beabadoobee sample and re-released it in February 2020 under the title \"Death Bed (Coffee for Your Head).\" The single surpassed 1 billion plays on Spotify in June 2021 and gained popularity through the video-sharing app TikTok, peaking at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. Powfu subsequently signed with Columbia Records in the US and Robots + Humans in the UK. The song appeared on the EP Poems of the Past, which was released on May 29, 2020.\n

On December 2, 2022, Powfu released his first full-length album, Surrounded by Hounds and Serpents, which included a cover of Taylor Swift's \"Mine\". In an interview with Billboard, he stated that this album title describes his search to spot \"people who are fake or only want [him] for the wrong reasons\".\n
