Early life

Platt was born in Calgary, Alberta to Natasha (née Sayer) and Michael Platt, who are both musicians.[5][6]

Life and career

[edit]

In 2020, Platt started a musical career, creating and uploading songs to SoundCloud.[7]

His debut single "SugarCrash!" was released in August 2020, followed by the single "Teeth!".[6] "SugarCrash!" went viral on TikTok after Ferrous-Martin Platt posted a video using the song to the platform a week after its release. In 2021, more than 5 million videos have been created using the song. It reached 85 million Spotify listens and a No. 1 spot on the streaming juggernaut's U.S. Viral 50 playlist in February.[8] Spin magazine labeled him "the new face of hyperpop".[8]

In April 2021, a remix of "SugarCrash!" featuring Kim Petras and Curtis Waters was released.[9] His single "Profane" was released in August 2021,[7] followed by the single "Stalker" also released in 2021.[8]

Due to the success of the "SugarCrash!", he secured a contract with RCA Records.[10] His debut EP was due for release later in 2022.[6] In April 2022, Ferrous-Martin Platt released his debut album Hellscape Suburbia.[11][12][13] By July 2023, ElyOtto released his second album Miscarriage of a Wildhorse, and followed up shortly with an EP, Happy Together Convenience Store.[14]
