George Virden Watsky was born in San Francisco, California, on September 15, 1986, the son of librarian Clare E. (née Miller) and psychotherapist Paul Norman Watsky. His maternal grandfather was Democratic politician Clement Woodnutt Miller. He has a twin brother, Simon Jay Watsky, who is a helicopter pilot. He has described himself as “half Jewish” on his father’s side. Watsky attended San Francisco University High School and Emerson College in Boston.
In 2009, Watsky produced a 15-track hip hop album titled Watsky. The album produced one successful single, known as Stupidass. The next year, he released the album Guilty Pleasures, which he made available as a free download on his website. Produced by Procrastination (San Francisco musician Tobias Butler), Guilty Pleasures contains mashups between popular songs and those from his first album.
On January 17, 2011, Watsky uploaded a video entitled “Pale kid raps fast” to YouTube, in which he performed a humorous original rap with rapid delivery over the instrumental of “Break Ya Neck” by Busta Rhymes. The video went viral, partly due to support from Reddit and Philip DeFranco (Watsky’s music can be heard in the background of DeFranco’s news series and SourceFed channel). It accumulated four million views within two days, and eventually exceeded 25 million views despite later being unlisted by Watsky and the title being changed to “Watsky raps fast.” He performed a slightly modified version of the rap on The Ellen DeGeneres Show one week later. Being able to match the speed of the song’s rapping was viewed as an Internet challenge, spawning covers by fellow rappers such as Mac Lethal, and YouTube celebrities such as Hank Green and Bry.
