Marco Anthony Archer (born October 11, 1994),[2] better known by his stage name Phora, is an American rapper and former tattoo artist from Anaheim, California. In 2011, he founded his own record label, Yours Truly.[3] His debut studio album, Yours Truly Forever (2017), peaked at number 44 on the Billboard 200 chart.[4]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Marco Archer was born in Anaheim, California. Before his career in music, he worked as a tattoo artist which proved to be relatively lucrative and aided in the funding of his rap career. In 2011, Marco was nearly stabbed to death in Anaheim, CA just outside of Trident Learning Center, now known as Gilbert High.[5]

He has survived a stabbing at 15 and two shootings.[6][7][8][9]

On August 25, 2015, while he was driving on the 210 freeway in Pasadena around 2 a.m., a gray Infiniti sedan pulled up alongside Archer, who was driving home with his then girlfriend, Destiny. Three bullets from a .45 caliber pistol were fired into his back and neck, narrowly missing his vertebra. The crime remains unsolved.[10]

Career

[edit | edit source]

In February 2017, Phora announced signed a major label deal with Warner Bros. Records.[1] So far, Phora has written and released eleven albums, majority of which relates to his past struggles with depression. These include Therapy, Still a Kid, One Life to Live, Sincerely Yours, Nights Like These, Angels with Broken Wings, With Love, With Love 2, Heartbreak Hotel, The Butterfly Effect, and his debut studio album Yours Truly Forever which peak at 44 on the Billboard 200.

In 2018, he released a follow-up to his debut album, titled Love Is Hell which peaked at 87 and had features such as Trippie Redd, G-Eazy, Tory Lanez, 6lack and more. In July 2019, Phora left his record deal with Warner Bros. Records and subsequently released his new album with Emmanuel Mendoza Herrero entitled Bury Me with Dead Roses. In 2020, he released his fourth studio album, With Love 2 which peaked at 160 and featured Danileigh, Toosii, Ty Dollar $ign, Jhené Aiko, Kehlani, and Tyla Yaweh. In February 2021, he broke his 10 year streak of an album every year with his EP Heartbreak Hotel. In December 2022 he released his fifth studio album The Butterfly Effect. On September 14, 2023, he released his sixth studio album and first R&B album, Lucky Me.

In August 2025, Phora's company, Phora LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to restructure debt that it owes to Warner Records, amongst several other creditors.[11]

Musical style

[edit | edit source]

Growing up, Archer was strongly influenced by graffiti to make music and influenced by his father to pursue music.[12]

In his song "The World" from his album Angels with Broken Wings (2015), he calls J. Cole, Hopsin, and Logic the only rappers he likes.

His musical style can also be defined by his producer Anthro Beats.[13]
