History

Jhariah showed interest in music from an early age, releasing his first song, a 20-second electronic track called "Electrolite".[5] The song, along with a handful of others was uploaded on his YouTube Channel under the name "ShinySwordStorm", a moniker he used for many years creating videos on YouTube.

He went on to study 2D animation at the Brooklyn campus of the Pratt Institute in New York.[6][7] It was there that they formed the illustration techniques that were used to create some of their album and singles' covers.[8][9]

He made his first appearance with his 2017 single "Catch Me If You Can", which was part of the first ever songs he wrote, excluding his previous electronic music tracks, in the concept album that they released in 2018 "The Great Tale of How I Ruined It All", that tells the story of a character that is the last one standing in an apocalyptic wasteland where everyone else has been brainwashed by a cult.[3][10] Their first release that gained significant traction was the 2020 single "Needed a Change of Pace", which was part of their also popular album "A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO FAKING YOUR DEATH" which is about a man who fakes his death to escape from his old life, but fears that his past will catch up to him and he'll have to pay for the consequences.[3][4][10] He has accredited this success to the traction it gained on TikTok.[11]

Their 2023 single, "RISK, RISK, RISK!", which he wrote about his need to live up to his potential, was followed up by a collaboration with the Baltimore punk band Pinkshift in their single "EAT YOUR FRIENDS", which criticizes the music industry's ability to pit him and his friends against one another, igniting jealousy and competition rather than creating space.[2][12][13] This led to the two parties announcing the collaborative "Eat Your Friends Tour".[14]

In late 2023 they announced The Tooth Pact Tour, which ran from February to April 2024.[15] On April 19th, shortly after the tour finished, Jhariah surprise released the album "TRUST CEREMONY" which contains the songs after which both the tour and album were named, "TOOTH PACT" and "TRUST CEREMONY". It also contained their previously released songs "RISK RISK RISK," "EAT YOUR FRIENDS," and "PIN-EYE."[16]
