Meet YAARB OF COMPTON CA | ARTIST / SONG WRITER

We had the good fortune of connecting with YAARB OF COMPTON CA and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi YAARB, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
TO ME LIFE ONLY GETS BETTER AS YOU TAKE RISK . I BELIEVE THE WHOLE PLAYING IT SAFE ROLE IS OVER ! I MEAN UNLESS YOUR OKAY WITH THE BARE MINIMUM. MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE HAS BEEN BUILT AROUND RISK TAKING , IM A STRONG BELIEVER IN ” THE UNIVERSE GIVES US WHAT WE GIVE IT” SO IF YOUR WILLING TO RISK IT ALL AS WELL AS GIVE IT YOUR ALL THE FINAL REWARD WOULD HAVE TO BE HUGE RIGHT ? LOL . NO BUT HONESTLY TAKING RISK ALL COMES DOWN TO FAITH , THAT LEAP OF FAITH . THROUGH MY CAREER IVE HAD TO TAKE SO MANY RISK TO GET TO THE POINT IM AT NOW. EARLY IN MY CARRER I LEARNED TAKING RISK FOR WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY CAN ONLY BRING YOU MORE HAPPINESS. TAKING RISK IS HOW WE LEARN WHO WE TRULY ARE, IT UNLOCKS COURAGE & CONFIDENCE. RISK IT ALL BUT NEVER RISK YOUR HAPPINESS !

I AM YAARB OUT OF THE WESTSIDE OF COMPTON BORN AND RAISED ! IVE BEEN IN THE MUSIC SCENE FOR A COOL MINUTE NOW BUT SERIOUSLY RECORDING MY VOICE FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW .INITIALLY I JUMPED INTO THE GAME ASPIRING TO BE AN ENGINEER I USE TO BE SO FASCINATED WATCHING TRACKS GET MIXED BUT FELL INLOVE WITH THE BOOTH ONCE I FINALLY HEARD MY VOICE OVER THE MIC .I FEEL WHAT SEPERATES ME FROM MY PEERS IS , YES I DID ORIGINALLY START ” TO GET A BAG” BUT I FOUND A DEEP LOVE FOR THE ART IT BECAME THERAPY FOR ME , ITS LIKE I CAN FINALLY VENT AND HEAR BACK EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO HEAR LOL ITS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IM OVER LIKE 200 TRACKS UNRELEASED , PLUS MY MUSIC HAS MEANING AND ITS VERY RELATABLE WITH THE STORY TELLING. MY PROUDEST MOMENT IN MUSIC WOULD HAVE TO BE THAT IM STILL DOING IT AND GETTING MORE AND MORE CONFIDENT WITH MY WORDS . THE FACT THAT I HAVENT QUIT ! YEAH… THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE MY PROUDEST MOMENT SO FAR. GETTING WHERE I AM TODAY TOOK SO MUCH HEARTACHE TEARS AND LONG NIGHTS . ITS DEFINITELY THE FAREST THING FROM EASY … BUT THATS WHAT MAKES IT ALL WORTH IT RIGHT ? CAUSE HAD IT BEEN EASY I DONT BELIEVE ID APPRECIATE IT. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE YOU THE LION OF THE ROOM REGARDLESS OF WHOS IN THERE REMAIN HUMBLE BUT ALWAYS WEAR YOUR WORTH ! MY BIGGEST ADVICE TO ANY UPCOMING ARTIST DO NOT QUIT YOUR DAY JOB ! UNLESS YOUVE SAVED UP ENOUGH MONEY TO BACKUP YOUR MUSIC CAREER ( WHICH IM SURE YOU HAVENT) LOL NAH BUT FOR REAL THIS MUSIC LIFE IS AN INVESTMENT ” YOULL SPEND ALL THAT MONEY BEFORE YOU SEE IT .” -YAARB SAID THAT AHA. IF YOU COULD TAKE ONE THING FROM YAARB TAKE THIS … HES A BEAUTIFUL SOUL AND HIS FUTURE IS BLINDING !

IF I WERE TO TAKE ONE OF MY FRIENDS OUT ON A DAY WITH YAARB , WE”D START OFF WITH A NICE HIKE , MAYBE TURNBULL OVER IN WHITTIER THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITE HIKES. AFTER THE HIKE WAS OVER MAYBE A AQUA FRESCA AND SOME FRUIT GOTTA KEEP THE BODY HYDRATED YOU KNOW ? LOL . FOR LUNCH ITS A NO BRAINER ID SWING THEM THROUGH MY CITY (COMPTON CA) OVER TO MY BROTHER THE BEST CHEF IN TOWN “MUNCHIEMADNESS” FOR A QUICK TURN UP AND GREAT EATS .ONE OF MY FAVORTE PLACES TO HANG OUT WOULD HAVE TO BE A ARCADE OR SOMETHING FUN LIKE LASER TAG . MY FAVORITE PLACE TO BE SPOTTED WOULD HAVE TO BE “THEHOMEROOMSTUDIOS” THATS WHERE ALL THE MAGIC HAPPENS .

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
