Early life

Brian Imanuel Soewarno was born on September 3, 1999, in Jakarta to Heru Soewarno and Megawati Purnomo. He has one older brother named Roy Leonard Soewarno and two older sisters named Stephanie and Sonia Eryka Soewarno.[7] He is of Chinese-Indonesian[8] descent.

Brian was raised in West Jakarta in a middle-to-low class neighborhood.[9] Despite his father being a lawyer,[10] he never had a formal education and spent most of his time helping at his parents' café while being homeschooled.[11]

In 2010, while growing up in Indonesia, Brian began his career with social media when he was 11 years old. He discovered YouTube after he got a Rubik's Cube and realized he could log onto his parents' computer to find strategies for solving it faster. He also joined Twitter in August 2010. This eventually led him to making video content, including dark comedy sketches on Twitter.[10] He moved to the platform Vine when he was 15 and began to post daily videos there. Brian, who at the time spoke only Indonesian, started to learn and polish his English, and had an American friend on Skype that he could talk and converse with to improve his English.[12] He also taught himself to speak English by watching YouTube videos and by listening to rappers like Childish Gambino, 2 Chainz, Macklemore and Tyler, the Creator.[13]

Brian began listening to hip-hop in 2012, when an American friend he knew on the internet introduced him to "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.[14] Brian began to explore the genre, discovering Drake, 2 Chainz, Kanye West and Logic at first. Brian wrote his first rap song in 2014 and recorded it onto an iPhone microphone over an MF Doom produced instrumental.[15]

Brian originally wanted to become a cinematographer in Los Angeles, however he gave up the aspiration once his music career began taking off.[16]

Career

2015–2016: Career beginnings

Brian began his career under the name Rich Chigga and released his debut track, titled "Living the Dream" on July 17, 2015, on his YouTube account. The song was produced by DJ Smokey.[17] Brian then went on to release his debut single "Dat Stick" on March 11, 2016.[18][19] Shortly after, he was signed by 88rising.[20] "Dat Stick" track caught international success after 88rising released a reaction video featuring American rappers Ghostface Killah, 21 Savage, Tory Lanez, MadeinTYO, Desiigner, and many more.[21] Since the official music video for the track was uploaded onto his YouTube account, it has been viewed over 200 million times. "Dat Stick" then went on to peak at number four on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles.[22]

Brian then went on to release his second single titled "Who That Be" on iTunes on August 9, 2016. The song was produced by Sihk.[23] He then released a remix of his debut single "Dat Stick" which features rappers Ghostface Killah and Pouya.[24] Brian later released his third single "Seventeen" which quickly surpassed the one million hits mark on both YouTube and SoundCloud.[25][26]

2017–2018: Amen

Brian won an award at the 4th Indonesian Choice Awards as Breakthrough Artist of the Year in May 2017.

Six days later, he changed his stage name again to "Rich Brian". Brian later went on and appeared on a single and music video with Kris Wu, Joji, Trippie Redd and Baauer titled, "18" on January 16.[40] On February 2, Amen was released and made him the first Asian musician to reach number one on iTunes Hip Hop charts and went on to peak at number 18 on the US Billboard 200.[41][42]

Following the release of Amen, Brian released "Watch Out!" on April 4, 2018.[43] He later appeared on 88rising's compilation album, Head in the Clouds and released two singles to promote the album with "Midsummer Madness" featuring Joji, Higher Brothers, Kyle Chan, AUGUST08, and "History" which were released on June 7 and July 18 respectively.[44][45] The album was released on July 20, 2018.[46]

Brian's career jumped into the mainstream in August 2021 when the soundtrack for Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was released with several songs by and featuring Brian, including "Run It" by Brian, DJ Snake, and Rick Ross. The track received heavy airplay as ESPN's anthem for its 2021-2022 college football coverage.[57][58] It was then reported in October that Brian had been cast in his film debut by indie film director Justin Chon to play an up-and-coming rapper whose escalating popularity leads him to confront his relationship with his father.[59]

On January 20, 2022, Brian released an EP titled Brightside.[60] The four-track EP was preceded by a single titled "New Tooth". On the day of the EP's release, a music video for one of its songs, "Getcho Mans", which features fellow Indonesian rapper Warren Hue, was also released.

On March 6, 2025, Brian announced his third studio album, Where Is My Head?, set for release on May 23, but later was pushed back to August 15 due to track listing re-assessment.[62]

Musical style

Brian's musical style has been called "ironic" by UrbanDaddy though it "eventually transcends itself to become a legitimate piece of art."[63] Brian's vocals have been described as baritone,[64] and his delivery as "gruff yet agile"[16] and "unique".[65] His song writing ability has been called "skilled" by HotNewHipHop.[66] Brian, originally making comedic music, has since attempted to distance himself and make more serious music with singles such as "Seventeen" and "Glow Like Dat".[67]

With the release of "Yellow" on June 26, 2019, Brian's musical style expanded. In an interview with Complex Magazine, he states that his album "The Sailor" is an "important step forward for his art" and he is beginning to "write about things that are deeply personal to him."[68]

After the release of his album 1999, in 2020, his musical style developed even more. He started to incorporate 80s funk that was very popular in 2020 according to East Side Vibes[69] Overall, his style is "easy-going instrumental and Pop-Rap that was popular in the early to mid-2010s." His songs also have a lot of lyrical attitude to them such as "Don't Care" and "DOA". Adding to the lyrical attitude aspect, he is honest in his music and talks about his life experience with a simple and repetitive riff which is also "catchy and groovy."

Brian has cited Young Thug, Tyler, the Creator, Yung Lean, Childish Gambino and Project Pop as inspirations.[16][70]

Personal life

During his youth, Brian competed in a couple of Rubik's cube competitions. According to his World Cube Association page, he attended the 2010 Jakarta Open Rubik's Cube Competition.[71] He finished 20th out of 106 during the qualification round for the 3×3×3 cube, with a best of 23.65 seconds. Brian was admitted into the first round where he finished 51st out of 105, with a best of 20.44 seconds.[71][72] During the same competition, he also competed in the 2×2×2 and the 4×4×4 events. Brian finished 24th out of 74 during the 2×2 event and had a best of 7.96 seconds, while during the 4×4 event Brian finished 35th out of 43 with a best of 2:22.81 minutes. Brian also competed in the 2×2 event at the Jakarta Ceria Open in October 2010, there he finished 28th out of 67 with a best solve of 5.68 seconds.[71]

Brian currently lives in Los Angeles after moving there in May 2017.[73] He is not a permanent resident of the United States; though in July 2017, he extended his stay.[33]

Brian's original stage name, Rich Chigga, created controversy in the past.[74] Brian and his friend came up with the nickname when he came out with his first song on SoundCloud. "I realized I don't really have a rap name. And then my friend from Wichita was just talking about it. We came up with a couple of names which were cool, and he was just like, 'Rich Chigga.' I was like, 'That is really catchy.' And that's honestly it."[75] Talking about his stage name, Brian said "I do regret it – I didn't really know what I was doing and I definitely did not know people were gonna pop off like this."[76] As a result, he changed his stage name to Rich Brian in 2018. In a Twitter post, Brian said "I have been planning to do this forever and I'm so happy to finally do it. I was naïve and I made a mistake."[77]

Brian was homeschooled and has stated that he does not wish to seek college education,[33] though if given the chance, he would attend film school.[18]
