Marco Archer (born October 11, 1994), better known by his stage name Phora, is an American rapper from Anaheim, California. In 2011 he founded his own record label, Yours Truly. On Valentine's Day 2017, Phora announced via Instagram he signed a major label deal with Warner Bros. Records.
Marco Archer was born October 11, 1994 in Anaheim, California. Before his career, Archer got into some trouble for graffiti, but his work as a tattoo artist proved to be relatively lucrative and aided in the funding of his rap career. He has survived a stabbing and two shootings. When he was driving on the 210 freeway in Pasadena around 2 a.m. on August 25 2015, a gray Infiniti sedan pulled up alongside Archer, who was driving home with his girlfriend, Destiny. A .45 caliber pistol unloaded three bullets into his back and neck, narrowly missing his Vertebra. The crime remains unsolved.
Growing up, Archer was strongly influenced by graffiti to make music and influenced by his father to pursue music. 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 the two producers Eskupe and Anthro Beats.
