Biography

Yosef Asaf Borger was born to a Jewish family in Holon, Israel,[3] and was raised in Tel Aviv. He has a brother named Tax.[4] Borger moved to Los Angeles in 2012.[5][4][3] Borger returned to Israel in November 2023, shortly after the birth of his daughter, Ellie and now lives in Hungary with his family.[6] He is the founder of Buygore Records[7] and is the former drummer of Israeli deathcore band Shabira.[8] Self-described as "Gorestep", his music includes triplet drum patterns with heavy metal influences.[7] Songs have been sonically suggestive of horror movies, farm animal vocalizations, and sex.[9] He has released tracks under Dim Mak Records, Spinnin' Records, Sumerian Records, Shift Recordings, and his own label, Buygore. In 2012, he released the single, Decisions, with backing vocals provided by Miley Cyrus.[10]
