Early Years

Metro’s real name is Leland Tyler Wayne. Originated from Atlanta, Georgia, and born in St. Louis, Missouri, on the 6th of September 1993, Leland first started making beats in Parkway North High School.

As soon as he got a laptop, 13-year-old Metro started experimenting with software for music production called Fruity Loops. He had some music experience by playing guitar in a school band for a while.

He was into rap and only made his own beats because he needed something to rap over. Soon Young Metro realized he enjoyed making music more than anything else and turned his full focus to that passion.

He started from scratch teaching himself the basics by googling. But he was persistent with a strong belief in the talent he possessed. Leland promised his mother he was going to become a producer. So he tirelessly hunted down established rappers through Twitter offering them beats, often for free. Until it all paid off and Metro caught the eye of somebody important and influential enough to open him the doors to the stage. Leland met OJ da Juiceman, and the famous rapper introduced him as an upcoming songwriter, while he was still in high school.

Leland than took a more professional stage name. The first part of his name came from the MetroLink as they call subway system in St. Louis. The other part was given to him by OJ.

While working hard on his music, Metro never gave up on studying and kept his grades high, as he promised to his mom. Metro managed to enroll to Morehouse College, the private HBCU in Atlanta. He wanted to study Business Management but dropped out after a while, since he was more into music than studying. At the time a song he produced “Karate Chop”, by artist Future, became an unexpectedly huge hit. That was a turning point for Metro from which everything went uphill.

Career Development

Metro began his career at the age of 16, after working on his music for three years. The young artist found himself in Hip Hop, R&B and Trap genres.

He was just 19 when his first mixtape came out titled “19 & Boomin”. Two more albums followed “Perfect Timing” and “Savage Mode”.

While still in high school, at the beginning of his career, Metro traveled each weekend from St. Louis to Atlanta by car to do music for big names like OJ Da Juiceman, Gucci Mane and Future. He would later move to Atlanta and make the list of his collaborations even bigger adding names like: Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa…

Metro was the executive producer for Drake and Future’s collaborative mixtape from 2015 titled “What a Time to Be Alive”. He also worked on Future’s 2016 mixtape.

Metro Boomin was the Producer of the Year 2016 at the BET Hip Hop Awards. At the beginning of 2017 one of Metro’s songs made it to number one on hit lists – song called “Bad and Boujee” with Migos.

Personal Life

Metro was in the 3rd grade when his parents split up. His father Lamont still lives in St. Louis, but they haven’t spoken in years. Metro is very close to his mom who supported him through his career attempts right from the start. Leland has four siblings.

Boomin has a girlfriend named Chelsea and it’s a steady relationship dating from high school and the 12th grade. Only Chelsea and his mother call him by his real name.
