Yeat Began His Singing Career in 2015
Yeat was born and raised in a family where the father is a prominent member of a music band and owns several musical instruments. So it is safe to say that he was born into music, and music runs in his blood. As such, he developed an interest in music in childhood, began to pursue it as a career, and is today making a name for himself in the music world.
Noah Smith officially started recording songs in 2015 when he was 15 years old under his first stage name Lil Yeat. He made his first public musical appearance on 30th June 2018, premiering a track called “Brink” on the Elevator YouTube channel.

He Achieved Massive Success At The Age of 21 with His Debut Album, Up 2 Më
Though he had been releasing songs since he made an entrance into the music scene in 2015, Yeat first tasted widespread recognition in early 2021 with the release of his 4L mixtape, which included tracks like Sorry Bout That and Money Twërk. The mixtape, particularly the two tracks, served as a breakout moment for him. The songs made him go viral online on the TikTok platform.
On 10th September 2021, Yeat dropped his debut studio album, Up 2 Më, through a one-album deal with Interscope Records. Songs in the album include Get Busy, Twizzy Rich, Turban, and Monëy So Big.
