Young Soda started his journey as a self-proclaimed “Gangasta Rapper”, which typically represents a hard core hip hop style of music of which he has outgrown and gravitated to a style that uses both his singing and rapping talents.

Young Soda is musically inspired by the works of Jay Z, T.I. and Andre 3000. Onstage Young Soda has performed or collaborated with YG, Lil Scrappy, Kirko Kobangz and others.

Personally, he has been called a resilient story teller with vibrant and relatable content to leverage to the hip hop community. Within his music you can hear elements of life, passion, grit and determination.

Aside from his family, his loyalty and determination to succeed has become his heartbeat and will create the cornerstone of his success.

With serval physical and visual projects under his belt Young Soda is on a grind, to increasing music catalogue, refining his craft, he is on a rise and is certainly an artist to watch over the next year.
