Six grader saved classmate from choking
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.
Its’s concluded that an alliance has been officially formed for a bright future between these three gentlemen and their team.
