About the artist
Tana Mongeau is an American YouTuber and internet personality who rose to prominence in the mid-2010s through storytime-style vlogs, quickly amassing millions of subscribers within roughly a year of starting her channel in 2015. Alongside her video career, she experimented with music as a natural extension of her online persona, releasing a series of singles that leaned into brash, tongue-in-cheek rap and pop.
Her first musical outing came in 2016 with a Roast Yourself Challenge entry that she herself treated as a joke rather than a serious rap effort. She later teased a track called «Kobe» in 2017 before announcing her debut single «Hefner», released that November, with «Kobe» following soon after. She continued releasing music sporadically, including «W» in March 2018 and later tracks such as «Facetime» and «F**k Up».
Tana Mongeau's music has always existed in dialogue with her online fame rather than as a separate career, drawing directly on her internet persona's humor, controversy and confessional tone. Songs like «without you» show a more vulnerable, pop-leaning side, while her rap-adjacent tracks stay close to the irreverent, meme-driven sensibility that made her one of the defining YouTube personalities of her generation.
