Quavo

Quavious Keyate Marshall (born April 2, 1991), known professionally as Quavo, is an American rapper from Athens, Georgia.

He is best known as the frontman of the now-defunct hip hop group Migos.

Quavious Keyate Marshall was born on April 2, 1991, in Athens, Georgia.

The three members of Migos grew up together in Gwinnett County, a mostly suburban area 20–30 minutes northeast of Atlanta.

Formed with his nephew Takeoff and their mutual friend Offset in 2008, the group released four commercially successful studio albums before disbanding in 2023.

As a solo act, Marshall has guest performed on six Billboard Hot 100 top ten singles—Post Malone's diamond-certified "Congratulations", Justin Bieber's "Intentions", Liam Payne's "Strip That Down", Drake's "Portland", and DJ Khaled's "No Brainer" and "I'm the One", the latter of which peaked atop the chart.

Migos was formed in 2008 by Quavo and fellow rappers Takeoff and Offset.

Quavo and Takeoff are directly related and were raised together by Quavo's mother.

Quavo was Takeoff's uncle.

The group was originally known as Polo Club and is from Lawrenceville, Georgia.

They changed their name to "Migos" after deciding Polo Club was too generic.

Quavo attended Berkmar High School and was the starting quarterback of its football team during the 2009 season, his senior year.

Berkmar went 1–9 in the 2009 season, and Quavo went 19-of-25 for 201 yards and three touchdowns for the first win of the season.

Quavo previously held the Georgia High School record by completing 28 passes in a game in 2009 until being surpassed by Taylor Heinicke.

Despite finishing the football season for his senior year, Quavo dropped out of Berkmar months before graduation.

The group released their first full-length project, a mixtape titled Juug Season, on August 25, 2011.

They followed with the mixtape No Label, on June 1, 2012.

Migos rose to prominence in 2013 after the release of their single "Versace".

The song was remixed by Canadian rapper Drake, peaking at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 31 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

Quavo had his first lead single as a solo artist with the song "Champions" featuring several other artists.

The song peaked at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100.

After the success of Migos' second studio album Culture, which reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, Quavo was subsequently featured on several popular songs outside of Migos, including "Congratulations", "I'm the One", "Portland" and "No Brainer".

In an interview with GQ, Houston-based rapper Travis Scott, with whom Quavo previously worked on the Young Thug collaboration "Pick Up the Phone", revealed he had a collaborative album with Quavo in the works.

In April 2017, Quavo was featured on The Fate of the Furious: The Album on the song "Go Off" with Lil Uzi Vert and Travis Scott.

The song was eventually certified Gold by the RIAA.

Quavo also released "Ice Tray" with Lil Yachty on December 14, 2017.

The song peaked at number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100.

On December 21, 2017, Quavo announced that he would release Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho with Travis Scott on December 22, 2017 without any prior promotion.

The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and had seven tracks chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

His debut studio album, Quavo Huncho (2018) peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and spawned the platinum-certified single "Workin Me".

His second album, Rocket Power (2023) peaked at number 18 and was released in memory of Takeoff, who was slain the year prior.

On January 26, 2018, Migos released Culture II.

Following this, Quavo announced an upcoming solo project titled

Quavo Huncho to be released in October.

It was supported by three singles, "Workin Me", "Lamb Talk" and "Bubble Gum", with "Workin Me" peaking at 52 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Quavo's highest charting single as a solo artist.

The album was released on October 12, 2018 through Capitol Records, Motown, and Quality Control Music and features guest appearances from 21 Savage, Drake, Saweetie, Madonna, Cardi B, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Normani, Davido, and Kid Cudi.

On May 18, 2019, Quavo performed "Future" alongside Madonna at the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019.

On February 7, 2020, Quavo was featured on the song "Intentions" from Justin Bieber's fifth studio album Changes.

The song peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100.

In the following year, Migos released their fourth album, Culture III.
