YNS SOLO

​

Born in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan, YNS Solo is an emerging rap artist and a powerful voice for the streets. His life has been marked by adversity from a young age, having lost his home in a neighborhood shootout and firebombing incident. Seeking a fresh start, Solo and his family relocated. However, the transition was challenging, and Solo faced academic struggles, requiring special education support to stay on track in school.

 

As he grew older, Solo experienced further difficulties. At 17, he discovered his passion for music, collaborating with friends and recording in a local studio. This marked a turning point as he began to hone his lyrical skills and develop his unique sound. Tragedy struck again when he lost both his mother and brother within months of each other, leading to a period of introspection and change. At 25, Solo made the life-altering decision to get sober and focus on his future. Now, at 27, he’s two years clean and actively pursuing his dreams.

 

Fresh off completing his GED math exam, he has embarked on a nationwide tour, covering eight states in the past year alone. With his music gaining traction and his resilience as a testament to his character, YnS Solo continues to inspire others by proving that no matter how dire the circumstances, one can always rise above and succeed.
