3pointfive

Early Life and Background

Carter was born near Chicago in February 2009, with the exact birth date not publicly confirmed. Growing up in the Midwest, he was exposed to a wide range of music from an early age, which helped shape his diverse sonic palette. He was introduced to music creation software at the age of approximately 12 and started making music in 2021, releasing his first song, "slytherin," on June 11, 2021. The track showcased the influence of slung and sigilkore on his early sound.

Musical Beginnings

After "slytherin," 3pointfive did not release another song on all platforms until his ten-track album omg in 2023, which continued to reflect slung influences while incorporating his own stylistic interpretations. In 2024, he released "2upnow," showing experimentation with ambient and sad-like beats, marking a shift in his musical direction as he began to refine his personal sound.

His EP superstar highlighted his ability to use multiple flows, and his subsequent album swag, a nine-track project, featured what many speculate as a real-life friend, ayd3n, who appears on two tracks. Swag displayed artistic growth and laid the foundation for his current musical identity, incorporating bass-boosted ksuuvi-style beats.

In the summer of 2025, following a breakup with his ex, 3pointfive dedicated himself more seriously to music. He released numerous singles throughout the summer and winter, culminating in January 2026 with his first widely recognized project, life. The seven-song album was praised for its substance and replay value, with tracks like "bank" (featuring ilyaugxstt*) and "viral" gaining significant attention and motivating him to continue producing music.

During this period, he also began working more closely with artists in the sigilkore and slung scenes, including Lungskull and Akselbolt, expanding his collaborative circle and further shaping his sound.

Influences

3pointfive draws heavily from the sigilkore and slung scenes, citing artists such as Lungskull, Axxturel, 5L, 2shanez, Islurwhenitalk, and *67 as key influences. His collaborations and work with artists like Lungskull and Akselbolt further reflect the influence these scenes have had on his musical direction. Outside of the sigilkore scene, his influences include Jaydes, Yuke, Mike Brokeasf, and Ksuuvl, each contributing to his approach to melody, rhythm, and production.

Musical Style and Development

His work is characterized by a blend of experimental subgenres with melodic and emotionally driven elements. Early releases leaned into sigilkore and slung textures, while later projects incorporated ambient, sad-like beats and bass-driven, hyperplugg-adjacent sounds. By 2026, 3pointfive was dropping singles that combined ksuuvi/Xaviersobased beats with hyperplugg and sigilkore influences, continually evolving his sound while also drawing inspiration from collaborators such as Lungskull and Akselbolt.

Career and Collaborations

3pointfive has consistently collaborated with ilyaugxstt*, and he has also worked with Smackeddawood, ayd3n, and Slattuhs. He has additionally worked with Lungskull and Akselbolt, artists who have influenced both his sound and collaborative output.

One notable collaboration includes the track "dropped a perc tryna score pt2," released with Lungskull and Akselbolt. The song serves as a sequel to "dropped a perc tryna score pt1," which was originally released under ilyaugxstt*’s account. The sequel features ilyaugxstt* as well, but is released with 3pointfive as the main artist, highlighting the influence of Lungskull and Akselbolt while bringing together multiple figures from the same underground scene.

His album life marked a career milestone, and he has described it as his "best work," while identifying "on my body" as his favorite track.
