About the artist
Larray, born Larri Merritt, is an American content creator and musician of Latina descent from Compton, California, who rose to fame through comedic and lifestyle videos before moving into music. His entry into music began with playful, internet-native tracks made alongside close collaborator and best friend Issa Twaimz, most notably the back-and-forth «First Place» and «Last Place» records.
Larray's music leans into upbeat, hook-driven pop-rap built for a young, online-native audience, with lyrics that often reference internet culture, drama, and his own persona as a creator. The track «Canceled», along with its remix, became one of his most recognizable releases, capturing the chaotic energy of online cancel culture with a catchy, sing-along chorus.
As both a musician and a prominent social media personality, Larray sits at the intersection of internet fame and pop music, using his existing online audience to launch songs that spread quickly through short-form video platforms. His work reflects a broader trend of creator-musicians turning viral internet moments into chart-friendly singles.
