Born in Chicago on 2 December 1998 and raised in the south suburbs, he developed as a self-taught musician before breaking through online with songs that fused melodic rap, emo vulnerability, freestyle confidence, and pop instinct.

His 2018 single Lucid Dreams became a defining hit, and his debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance turned private heartbreak and anxiety into music that millions of listeners recognized as their own.

In 2019, Juice WRLD expanded his reach with Death Race for Love, collaborations across rap and pop, and festival performances that showed his gift for improvisation and direct connection with fans.

He died on 8 December 2019 in Oak Lawn, Illinois, six days after his twenty-first birthday; public reporting and reference sources identify the official cause as an accidental overdose involving codeine and oxycodone.

After his death, his mother, Carmela Wallace, founded Live Free 999 to honor Jarad by supporting mental health services, substance dependency recovery pathways, and open conversations about addiction and emotional pain.

Juice WRLD's legacy lives in music that helped young people name difficult feelings, and in a family-led mission that turns his story toward care, prevention, and hope.

Juice WRLD was the stage name of Jarad Anthony Higgins, an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from the Chicago area whose short career reshaped the sound and emotional vocabulary of late-2010s hip-hop.
