Young Retro Bio:
Born in Los Angeles, California Young Retro’s passion for music started at the age of eight. He began rapping at community events, talent shows, parks and recreation, social gathers, and with groups of friends. “What inspired me to make music was making a difference in the game and in peoples daily life “. My goal is to keep marching forward by achieving my dreams through making music and inspiring others to do anything they put their mind to. I wanted to set the example for my fans but still have fun wit what I’m creating. Growing up I listened to street battles and cypher sessions, I’ve always listened closely to the lyrics,” said Young Retro. As time went on, Young Retro began writing his own lyrics and also began recording them at his home with friends and family in Los Angeles. “My older brother Michael inspired me to pursue my dreams in music in the early 2000’s and to never give up. We grew up listening to Notorious B.I.G, and enjoyed how smooth he sounded while rapping,” said Young Retro”.
