Early life and education

Nir Tibor was born on 18 June 1993[1] in Tel Aviv, Israel. He grew up largely in the Ramat Aviv neighborhood of the city. Lloyd learned how to play the trumpet at age 8 and taught himself to play the guitar at age 13. He attended the Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts in Givatayim.[2][3]

Career

Lloyd released his first single, "Playa (Say That)", in mid-2015. Toward the end of 2015, he moved to Bangkok, Thailand where he stayed for a year. During his time in Bangkok, Lloyd focused exclusively on music and wrote 35 songs.[4][5] After his year in Bangkok, Lloyd returned to Israel where he began releasing more music including the songs, "Snow White" and "Nevermind (Alright)".[6][7] Lloyd remixed the latter song and released it as "Nevermind" in the winter of 2016.[2][3] The remixed version quickly garnered success on Spotify, eventually peaking at number 4 on the Spotify Global Viral chart.[7][8] It would eventually accumulate more than 200 million streams on Spotify and over 1.5 million Shazams.[9][10] In June 2018, Time listed it as one of the "songs of summer".[11]

In June 2017, Lloyd was featured in a video on the German "COLORS" YouTube channel, performing an acoustic version of his song "Leftovers". The video has accrued nearly to 13 million views.[2][12] In March 2018, Lloyd announced the MTFKR Tour that began in May 2018 in Italy with dates across Europe and North America.[13][14]
