South Florida native, Yung Rellz, is a Miami-based independent artist who is inspiring his audience to have no limits and live free. Always surrounded by music related activities as a kid such as chorus, drum core, piano, tuba, and dance, Yung Rellz kept busy to help him through difficult situations in his home life. Yung Rellz’s family is his inspiration behind this music. The family gives life to his creative process while also providing great support behind his work. Growing up, Yung Rellz lost his baby brother, his father was locked up, and he was back and forth between his step mother’s home, grandmother’s home and aunts’ home. Keeping music by his side through these extremely difficult situations kept what was going on around him off his mind. This is what became the driving gateway of creativity and inspiration in his music today.

Inspired by HOV, Drake, J. Cole, T.I. Jeezy Ross, Yung Rellz makes music for the hustlers, motivating his audience to live lavishly off their hustle, and to enjoy life to the fullest. Yung Rellz has released projects including “Goodvibes Only Tape”, and “Crown”. Yung Rellz is preparing for his anticipated next release “Son of a Felon” which draws upon business tactics learned from his father.

AFTER 20 YEARS, trust always existed between Henry Vargas & Mykl Astorga. 

Don Juan Entertainment, Inc’s President, Henry Vargas and Astorga Records’ Mykl Astorga & Jose  Rodriguez, announced today, the joint signing of releasing the Return of Pure Pleazure, the Reintroduction of Erik Christian and many more. 
Henry & Mykl go way back. On or around 1997-2000, Henry was and still is the owner of D.M.D.  Entertainment, Inc., which was the music distributor and financier of Artistik Records. The Pure Pleazure album  titled “Past & Present” was marketed and distributed by D.M.D. Entertainment, Inc at the time. Fast forward to the  present, these two distinctive gentlemen are doing it again. But this time, they’re going straight to mainstream  radio & more. “Everything happens for a reason, Mykl and I trust each other, and we’ve taken the initiative to  operate our products as a real record label.” said Henry. 

Last year in 2020, Henry released under Don Juan Entertainment, his smash hit “Pluto” on a mainstream level as a launching pad demonstrating to bring about what’s to come in 2021-23. “Pluto” aired on 14 major top  40fm mainstream radio stations, cementing this record as the first new school freestyle track to air on radio for  over a year on this level since 1992. Henry’s follow up records titled “Be my Chic” & “Abrazame” both landed No. 4 & 7 on the BDS Radio charts and in the top 10 of Rhythm 105.9fm, (a major top 40fm radio station). This success is  only the beginning. The joint venture between Astorga Records and Don Juan will be bringing quality music to be  aired and promoted bigger than “Pluto” & “Be my Chic”. This venture consists of a production team featuring  “Klubjumpers” (80 times RIAA certified platinum recording producers”), “Dark Intensity”, “Tim Schommer” &  “JAMusic”. Don Juan Entertainment, just recently signed a recording deal with Pop/Dance/Rock, recording artist “MIA” & Urban Pop Artist “Skoolyaad” with a release scheduled for early January 2022. In addition, Henry Vargas will also be landing his first weekly FM radio show titled “HENRY VARGAS PRESENTS THE FREESTYLE FILES WITH  HOST FREESTYLE RICKY”, this winter of 2021 on Rhythm 105.9fm. 

Its’s concluded that an alliance has been officially formed for a bright future between these three gentlemen and their team.
