Yonga is an Independent artist specializing in being the bridge between modern hip-hop and alternative R&B music. Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Yonga stands firm as an independent artist, recognizing the beauty in musical longevity over short-term success. Yonga cites Reggae and Melodic Rap as his earliest introductions to music. Yonga’s love for hip-hop began circa-2011, upon stealing his older sister's CD’s - “Take Care” (Drake), “Jesus Piece” (The Game), “Long. Live. ASAP” (A$AP Rocky), and “Oxymoron” (Schoolboy Q). As an artist of inspirational impact, Yonga informs his listeners that “It’s okay to be imperfect while chasing your dreams." Yonga released 23 singles in 2020, stating "My intention within 2020 has always been to grow as an artist and build a catalog to perform once the COVID-19 pandemic smooths out.” Yonga cites his songs "Dubai", "Why", “Replay Pt. 2”, “DND”, and “Advance” at the top of his singles list. Yonga details that his message has always been about self-empowerment and sharing his relationship experiences. “Life is short, with time being our most valuable asset. When you wake up, do what you love to do. Stop caring what people think because they often are the ones that gave up on their own dreams. Don’t feed into that, run your own race.” ShopYonga.com
