“Yødie was born in West Virginia, but moved to Ohio at the age of 7, and reached Florida at age 15. His early life was marked by poverty, with many nights where his parents sacrificed their own meals to ensure he had enough to eat. Despite always wanting to make music, it wasn't until Yødie saw the success of others, such as his brother SouthsDead, that he found the drive and confidence to pursue his passion. Encouraged by those who saw his vision, he began chasing his dreams. At his core, Yødie is his own biggest inspiration, setting and surpassing personal goals to continually fuel his ambition. Influenced by artists like $not and the late Lil Peep, and inspired to be a better person by his late cousin Jonathan, he strives to excel both in and out of the booth. In less than a year of making music, Yødie has already achieved significant milestones, amassing over 15k followers on Instagram and several songs approaching 10k streams, with one surpassing that mark. Collaboratively, he created a notable album with 1TG2K, but his true distinction lies in his unparalleled drive, rapid learning ability, and unwavering commitment to ensure his people, and even strangers, are taken care of. Yødie’s relentless work ethic and passion for music set him apart in the industry, and continues to convey his message and his passion for his fans. He will always attempt to be an inspiration to said fans and an example that anyone can chase their dreams.” ~ Raj Gor
