Eric Whitney was born 15 April 1991 in Lake Worth, Florida to parents from New York. Whitney grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida.

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.

In April 2016, Schemaposse disbanded leaving Whitney not associated with any group.

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.

Idle Hands
Ghostemane Lyrics
I've got too much on my mind
Plus your mind on my plate
I've got a fucked up sense of
What they call love and hate
I'd like to place my hand
On your neck once more
And this time I'll squeeze even after
You leak on my floor
I've got too much time on my hands these days
And I feel my idle hands
Starting to wander away
I think I'll just sit alone
In my absent brain
It's not like I've got anywhere
Else to spend my day
I swear to not! I swear to not!
I swear to not! I swear to not
I am a bastard, I am a fatherless hope
You told me faster
Down on the floor on all fours
I am a bastard, I am a bastard
I am a bastard (I am a bastard)
I swear to not! I swear to not!
I swear to not! I swear to not
Plus your mind on my plate
I've got a fucked up sense of
What they call love and hate
I'd like to place my hand
On your neck once more
And this time I'll squeeze even after
You leak on my floor
I've got too much time on my hands these days
And I feel my idle hands
I think I'll just sit alone
In my absent brain
It's not like I've got anywhere
Else to spend my day
I swear to not! I swear to not!
I swear to not! I swear to not
I am a bastard, I am a fatherless hope
You told me faster
Down on the floor on all fours
I am a bastard, I am a bastard
I am a bastard (I am a bastard)
I swear to not! I swear to not!
I swear to not! I swear to not
