Andre Dontrel Burt Jr. (born October 3, 2001), known professionally as SoGaygo (formerly stylized as $oFaygo), is an American rapper and singer.[3][4] In 2020, Burt released the Angelic 7 mixtape, which was produced by acquaintance and fellow rapper Lil Tecca. This mixtape included his 2019 breakthrough single "Knock Knock", where numerous sounds using the song went viral on TikTok in late 2020.[5][6] The song has since amassed over 100 million plays on Spotify.[6]
Career
Burt recorded his first song at nine years old in a friend's basement.[3][6] He began to more heavily pursue music in his teenage years, while attending Harrison High School. Burt went by the stage name Trvllinese prior to releasing the EP We Are Aliens in 2018.[4]
Burt released his debut mixtape War in 2019.[7] Soon after, he began amassing a local fanbase. This popularity led him to be discovered by Taz Taylor, the founder of the record label Internet Money, who offered to sign him to the label.[8] Burt later travelled to Los Angeles to consider this offer, but eventually declined.[8] At this time, Burt had befriended rapper Lil Tecca, and the two began collaborating.[3] This collaboration led to the release of his second mixtape, Angelic 7, which concluded with his 2019 single "Knock Knock". Following the project's release, his online fanbase grew further, and the song later became viral on the video-sharing app TikTok.
Shortly afterward, he released his third mixtape After Me, which was preceded by the singles "Off the Map" and "Everyday". In February 2021, Burt had signed to Travis Scott's label Cactus Jack Records, which includes other popular rappers such as Sheck Wes and Don Toliver.[9][8][10] In June 2021, Burt appeared on Genius's web series Open Mic to perform his single "Knock Knock".[11]
On July 28, 2021, SoFaygo announced on both his Instagram and Twitter accounts that his debut album Pink Heartz was nearly completed.[12]
On August 20, 2021, SoFaygo was featured on Trippie Redd's album, Trip at Knight, on the song "MP5".[13] The song became his first Billboard Hot 100 entry, debuting at #86. On September 1, 2021, he released the song "Let's Lose Our Minds", being the lead single for Pink Heartz and his first release under Cactus Jack since his signing.[14][15] On October 8, SoFaygo was featured on labelmate Don Toliver's album Life of a Don, on the track "Smoke".[16]
