Thomas was born on October 31, 1992, in Beaumont, Texas to a father who works as a DJ. He was surrounded by music from multiple genres as a child due to his father's career. As a result, he grew up listening to a wide range of artists such as Judas Priest, Prince, Kraftwerk, and Marvin Gaye. Throughout his youth, he learned to DJ and produce music using his father's equipment. While attending high school in Beaumont, Thomas began uploading music to YouTube under AyeTee and Teezo Suave. He filmed early music videos in his high school, which received little attention, and produced songs for rappers in his city. In 2016, he changed his stage name to Teezo Touchdown. Around this time, he began collaborating with musical collective CVKE Supply, who uploaded the music videos for his songs "Professional" and "It Depends" to YouTube in 2017. In 2018, he released two mixtapes on SoundCloud, "The Example" and "Cover Boy". In February 2019, he released the song "100 Drums" with producer Coop, which was described by NME as, "[a rap song] about the gun violence in his hometown over Panic! At The Disco’s breakout emo-pop anthem ‘I Write Sins, Not Tragedies’". Pitchfork opined on the song, stating "when will rappers understand that liking one of the most popular songs of the 2000s is not as different as they think?" The video garnered attention on social media and led to co-signs by Chance The Rapper and Trippie Redd. In November 2019, he collaborated with Coop again on the song "Slice". In June 2021, he featured on the song "RunItUp" with Tyler, the Creator, which Pitchfork called "unmemorable". In the same month, he released a series of song covers in a video titled "Coverboy2". The video acted as a sequel to his 2018 mixtape "Cover Boy" and included an interview with Replica Man Magazine. He was styled in Balenciaga for the magazine's cover shoot. In July 2021, he made an appearance on Kenny Beats' YouTube series "The Cave" and freestyled over an instrumental that the two created together. He also released his single "Mid" and began his "Rid The Mid" campaign on social media in promotion of the single. The campaign consisted of a series of Instagram skits in which he ran for mayor in the fictional city of "Midville" and detailed what he would do if elected. Some of his policies included making it illegal to steal someone else's lighter and making it illegal for one's barber to push back their hairline. On February 10, 2022, he began touring in the United States with fellow American rappers Tyler, the Creator and Vince Staples and Colombian-American singer Kali Uchis on the Call Me If You Get Lost Tour, to support the release of Tyler, the Creator's album Call Me If You Get Lost, and also appearing on the song from the album "RunItUp". He also released the single "Handyman" with producer Kenny Beats. On March 6, 2021, his web series Watch Your Step premiered on Telfar TV, an online streaming platform created by American fashion label Telfar.
