Laquinton Jarrell Harper (/LaQuint-onHarper/; born December 31, 2003), known professionally as Earofemo, is an American Painter and Musician who first gained stardom in 2023 through the works of his Twitter account's massive cult-like social following. Fader magazine declared him one of the world's most influential people.
Career
Harper developed a love for art at an elementary age. His teachers described him as a gifted quiet child who learned fast. Citing some of his favorite things to draw were rocket ships and sketches of dragons. As his passion for the arts grew, he became fond of abstract scratch drawings. This intuitively led him to create paintings that have become widely accepted. The value of his original paintings is estimated to be $448 Million USD.[citation needed]
Early life
Harper was born at Cooper Green Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama on New Year's Eve to his mother. He is one of his parents' nine children.
At the age of 13, he and his parents moved to Atlanta, Georgia for what they sought as better opportunity. This is where he would graduate high school and develop his articulate talents.
Music
Always a fan of rap music due to his father's introduction to it as a youth. He began serious writing at the age of 15. He classifies his first works as raps that developed into poems. Harper started recording music at 18 as suggested by close friend (Lukaine), a known rapper in his neighborhood. With his vocals being popular amongst his peers, he noticed he was more comfortable and excited performing rock music in the studio. First reluctant to let his friends know he had developed a love for an unfamiliar genre, he released five new singles between 2022-2023. "Train Station", "Crowd", "Lizards", "Storm is Coming" and "Welcome Home" all which received mainstream success.[citation needed] His quick rise to fame was a shock to some due to lack of musical catalog. His reply to this was, "I was always working on my music no matter what was going on". In August of 2023, American rapper (Future) co-signed him.[citation needed]
