Growing up in Florida, Whitney was originally a guitar player for hardcore and doom metal bands.[3] Whitney moved to Los Angeles, California after starting his career as a rapper eventually finding success in the underground.
Eric Whitney was born 15 April 1991 in Lake Worth, Florida to parents from New York. Whitney grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida. As a teenager, he was in several bands and played the guitar which introduced him to music. He also played football whilst in High School, saying he was practically forced to by his father, who died when Whitney was seventeen.
Whitney was introduced to rap music when he was the guitarist in the hardcore punk band Nemesis and a bandmate introduced him to Memphis rap.
Whitney graduated from university after studying astrophysics and was eventually employed in a position earning $65,000 annually.In 2015, Whitney moved to Los Angeles, California due to his music not thriving in Southern Florida, giving up his employment at the same time. Meeting up with JGRXXN, Whitney joined his collective Schemaposse which included artists such as the now-deceased Lil Peep and Craig Xen.
In April 2016, Schemaposse disbanded leaving Whitney not associated with any group. Whitney eventually began to associate with the popular underground group $uicideboy$ and fellow Florida rapper Pouya. Pouya released the video for "1000 Rounds" with Ghostemane in April 2017.The video quickly went viral and as of May 2018, has nearly 9 million views.
In 2018 Whitney released his 10th album, "N / O / I / S / E" (No One Is Safe from Evil). The album has a very dark and aggressive style and it deals a lot with self-harm, self-mutilation, agoraphobia, and many other issues Ghostemane has dealt with personally. N / O / I / S / E was released by surprise on 10th October 2018, as it was supposed to drop on 17th October of the same year.

Your MCM rockin' Reef sandals
I′m sippin' a Hennessey handle
Bitch back the fuck up I can't stand you
I don′t go out a lot no
I like to stay in my home
Hittin′ my chick from the back on a Tempurpedic leave the lights on
White Vans on my feet like I'm Daniel
Xanny boy, Xanny boy, Xanny boy
You′re stumblin' I cannot stand you
Danny boy, Danny boy, Danny boy
White Vans on my feet like I′m Daniel
Xanny boy, Xanny boy, Xanny boy
You're stumblin′ I cannot stand you
You don't really know me you just know my Avatar (Aye)
You don't really know me you just know my Avatar (Oh)
You don′t really know me you just know my Avatar (Aye)
You don′t really know me you just know my Avatar
I'm the ghost with the most known flow out the East coast
You follow me if you a dirty young Kreep goat
Mothafuckas really wanna be a Dannyboy
You hoppin′ trends poppin' Xans but you broke boy
I′m bout to hang 10 toes just above the floor
You think I'm levitatin′ then you see the black rope
Don't speak till you think twice in a row
Somebody save me from myself before I implode
White Vans on my feet like I'm Daniel

The lyrics of Ghostemane's song Avatar reflect on the idea of identity and how people perceive us based on what they see on the surface, rather than who we truly are. Ghostemane starts the song by referencing his white Vans, which have become a recognizable fashion statement of his. He contrasts this with the MCM and Reef sandals that his MCM (your MCM stands for "your man crush Monday," a slang term for someone's idol or crush) wears, implying that he has a different style and doesn't follow the mainstream. Ghostemane then mentions that he prefers to stay in his home and have sex with his partner, again emphasizing his preference for privacy and intimacy.
In the chorus, Ghostemane repeats the line "you don't really know me, you just know my Avatar." Here, he speaks to the idea that people only perceive us through the lens of our online selves, the curated images we project to the world. Ghostemane feels that people don't truly know who he is beyond the online persona he presents, and thus miss out on the true depth and complexity of his identity.
The second verse continues this theme, with Ghostemane asserting that people only follow him to be part of a trend or to copy his style, rather than appreciating his artistry. He finishes the verse by alluding to his struggles with mental health, hoping that someone will save him from himself before he self-destructs.
Overall, the lyrics of Avatar highlight the idea of people not truly knowing who we are beneath our surfaces and how social media has amplified this disconnect.
