Early life Ludwig Tomas Walther Rosenberg was born on 25 May 1993 in Stockholm, Sweden. He grew up listening to a wide range of artists including Bob Marley, Slipknot, and various Atlanta trap artists like Waka Flocka Flame. As a teenager, he began playing drums in an indie-rock band before becoming interested in and producing electronic and hip-hop music. before adopting the name Whitearmor in 2012. While most of his music from this time has since been removed from the internet, some tracks have survived, including "Tony Hawk" (with Ken Burns & Malcolm S.), "THC Bliss", "Enya #6", and "Downer". In 2011, he released Rippin Private Bowls, an instrumental hip-hop cassette under Nymph Tapes.

In 2013, Whitearmor co-founded the Swedish music collective Drain Gang along with fellow Swedish musicians Bladee, Ecco2k, Thaiboy Digital and Yung Sherman. In addition to his work with the rest of Drain Gang, Whitearmor is also a close collaborator of the Swedish music collective Sad Boys, who are close collaborators of Drain Gang.

Whitearmor co-produced and wrote the entire album with Benon and also served as the project's mixing engineer. Later that year in October, they released the single Nikita.

In 2022, Whitearmor released his debut studio album In the Abyss: Music for Weddings. The album was composed, produced, performed, and mixed entirely by Rosenberg. Mastering of the album was done by Robin Schmidt, an audio engineer who has been a frequent collaborator of Whitearmor and the rest of Drain Gang as a mastering engineer.
