Meet Yungbc | Music Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Yungbc and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yungbc, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
It was around my sophomore year in high school when I wanted to go forth in it. I remember seeing kids in my school posting music, and I felt like I had the stage presence and confidence to do so, and I have done it ever since. There is so much that ignited my passion for music. Seeing those who made music express themselves through melodies and their stories made me realize I had a story to tell and a unique voice that deserved to be heard. I was excited by the idea of sharing my emotions with others. I explored different genres, even learning how to play the piano and constantly experimenting, and I still am with my sound. Despite doubts and insecurities, I took a leap of faith and shared my music, and I haven’t looked back since. Over time, my music has evolved, and that was more through having confidence in myself and surrounding myself with the right people. Today, music remains my constant companion, bringing me joy. It has connected me to amazing people and allowed me to touch lives. The road ahead may be uncertain, but my commitment to music will remain the same.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My music is different because when you look at me, you don’t expect me to make music, and for someone who talks about his life experiences and still does while being creative and cutthroat about his music, that makes me stand out. I have defied expectations put on myself and broken stereotypes in my music journey. Though I may not fit the traditional musician image, that sets me apart and makes an impact. I embrace my individuality, refusing to be limited by norms or what people say. By sharing my personal stories, I’ve connected with many on an emotional level, and I approach music with a lot of creativity. I stand out by creating my path, leaving a lasting impression outside of music. I have made countless relationships with music, not even based on my music, and led them into it.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If you are in Tempe on a weekend night and over 21+, go to CASA at night and then El Paisanos after. You can go anywhere on Mill, but with me barely being 21, I have experienced a lot in a short time. An underrated area for connections, and I have met videographers and people I work with to this day because of going there. CASA is the most Arizona State bar out there, but if you want a good time, that is where it’s at. Lowkey is trying to do a DJ set there because I could bring many people, but that is for another day. Now El P’s, it’s like a mix of a restaurant and a gas station. The workers there are fantastic and love the music, that is for sure. But you can get any food there, from quesadillas to chicken tenders. Anything to crave, whatever you do on a weekend night, and they are open late, so that is the plus. It’s a Tempe staple. If you know, you know.
