Quinton Maurice Hagans, creatively known as Ghostie (formerly known as QUINN.), is an experimental rapper, producer, and singer from Baltimore, Maryland. His output is prolific, with more than fifteen self-released bodies of work to date.

Ghostie’s sound is a blend of emo-rap and electronic production, which flows between genres as diverse as trap, drum & bass, and EDM—but all with 808’s and psychedelic synths. His flows and vocal styles are equally assorted, with influences from metal and R&B. Ghostie cited System of a Down as his largest musical inspiration during an August 2019 interview with Passion of the Weiss:

I’m a huge metalhead […] System of a Down is my favorite band of all time, let me make that very clear, and my favorite and biggest influence of all time.

Alongside Sybyr, KiddBeatz, and the late Loboloki, Ghostie co-founded the now-disbanded Anti-World collective—comprised of multi-talented visual designers, producers, and musicians, all sharing their love of unashamedly dark and innovative material.
