Career

Astro had garnered a reputation for being a talented young rapper in his hometown even before he was featured on ‘The X Factor’.

Astro appeared on the stage of Fox’s reality television music competition show ‘The X Factor USA’ when he was 14 years old. Calling out to Simon Cowell, who was serving as one of the four judges, he started singing ‘Stop Looking at My Mom’ and instantly drew the judges’ attention. He passed the audition round and was the first performer in the week one (25 October). Performing Kris Kross’ ‘Jump’, he progressed to the next round.

He was eventually eliminated after performing Michael Jackson’s ‘Black or White’ (week six: 30 November and 1 December).

After leaving the show, Astro brought out his fourth mixtape, ‘Loser’. In 2013, he released two mixtapes, ‘Deadbeats & Lazy Lyrics’ and ‘Starvin Like Marvin For A Cool J Song’. In 2014, he released his second single, ‘Champion’, which was accompanied by the release of his second EP, ‘Computer Era’. He is currently signed to Grade A Tribe Records. His first studio album ‘Grade A Frequencies’ was released in 2017.

Astro started off his acting career in 2012 by playing a character named Darren McGrady in an episode of CBS’ science fiction crime drama ‘Person of Interest’. He was later cast as Dash Hosney, one of the main characters of Fox’s short-lived teen medical comedy drama ‘Red Band Society’ (2014-15).

He made his cinematic debut in the 2014 found footage science fiction film, ‘Earth to Echo’, portraying a character named Tucker Simms. He then appeared in the neo-noir crime drama-thriller, ‘A Walk Among the Tombstones’, which also starred Liam Neeson, Dan Stevens, and David Harbour.

He worked with Academy-award-winning filmmaker Ang Lee in his 2016 war drama ‘Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk’. Astro is set to appear in Julius Onah’s next film ‘Luce’, which is based on a play by J. C. Lee.
