About Foster

Colin Foster Taylor (born May 22, 1997), better known mononymously as Foster, is a rapper from Nashville, Tennessee. Self declared as a “sad song machine,” Foster is best known for “Fools”, a lo-fi driven anthem for his fellow heartbroken peers.

Foster was born in Chattanooga, TN, before moving to the Nashville suburb of Franklin as a toddler. He was influenced by a music-loving family, and had aspirations to become a rapper or musician from a young age, listening to acts his parents favored like the Beatles and various folk and rock ‘n roll artists. Foster ultimately fell in love with hip hop around the age of thirteen when he was introduced to Mac Miller’s music, who would become his biggest inspiration for Foster’s own music career. He began uploading his music to SoundCloud, eventually having a total of seventy-five songs at one point. Foster released his freshman mixtape It’s Only the Beginning in 2016, following it up with his 2017 EP Nice to Meet You.

In early 2018, Foster wrote and released “fool” to his SoundCloud account, and within two years, it had been picked up by hip hop promoters such as Promoting Sounds and BangersOnly, propelling the song into virality. This enabled him to sign to Relentless Records and get a fresh start, re-releasing the song as “fools (can’t help falling in love)” and stripping almost all of his previous music off streaming services. The song also spawned an equally popular music video, which gained millions of views.

In his post-“fools” state, Foster released a string one moderately successful songs, with his depersonalization-derealization disorder awareness song “i tried everything” hitting one million streams without being on a major Spotify playlist. For about a year’s time, Foster worked on his studio debut EP, riling up anticipation within his fanbase with every teaser. After a few delays from his label, Foster released a six track EP in September 2022 called less than three.

After a lengthy musical hiatus due to label disputes, Foster was officially released from his label on June 20, 2023. The following month he collaborated with the up-and-coming indie artist Giovanni for the Promoting Sounds release “let us be honest”. Following that, Foster began teasing the lofi hip hop song “stars”, a collaboration with sleep.ing, the sister of famous lofi rapper Powfu. The song was highly anticipated by lofi fans and released on September 15, 2023.
