American singer, rapper, songwriter, and actor Post Malone is all set to perform in Guwahati — and the excitement across Assam is unlike anything seen before.
What might have been just another concert announcement instantly became historic when Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma revealed the news online, calling it a moment that officially places Guwahati “on the world entertainment map.”
Naturally, people everywhere began asking the same question: Who exactly is Post Malone, the superstar heading to the North-East?
Post Malone — born Austin Richard Post — isn’t just a chart-topping musician; he’s one of the most influential global artists of the last decade.
He is well-known for his unadulterated, passionate vocals and his ability to fuse pop, hip-hop, trap, R&B, and even country music into a sound that is wholly unique. His music resonates with listeners of all ages and languages, and his fan base spans continents.
His journey started in 2011, but when he broke up with White Iverson in 2015, everything changed. The song went viral overnight, turning him into an international name.
Raised in Texas after being born in Syracuse, New York, he grew up listening to a mix of legends — Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, 50 Cent, Kanye West — shaping the genre-blending sound he’s known for today.
Post's first album Stoney (2016) showed fans his emotional often self-reflective approach. But Beerbongs & Bentleys (2018) took him to new levels getting a Grammy nod for Album of the Year.
His following album, Hollywood's Bleeding (2019), did the same showing he could stay on top in the music world. Tracks like Congratulations, Rockstar, Circles, and the popular Sunflower — from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse — have become hits for our time.

Outside of music, Post Malone has built a one-of-a-kind image: the ink, the odd style choices, the laid-back humor, and the friendly vibe.
He's tried acting, teamed up with big names in gaming, and helped many good causes — all of which have made him a key figure in pop culture.
