Биография

From outta space, landed in Burn city. Came to spread some positive vibes and turn up ! Born and raised in Melbourne, Yung Shogun is, like all of us, the product of pure chance — a distinct individual shaped by the tides of fate that have pulled him through life. Raised by a mother enamoured by the classics of blues, jazz and hip-hop but secretly entranced by a step-father who had a fondness for heavy metal, Yung Shogun has always kept a foot in each world. When he started to take agency over his own listening, he gravitated towards both sides — the hip-hop as well as the alt-rock and heavy metal. His love of rock was parlayed into a desire for guitar lessons, which his mother granted; suddenly, a new world of music was opened up — not just because of the lessons, but because of a teacher who, fatefully, would introduce a young Yung Shogun to entirely new worlds of sound and style. As their lessons ended, Yung Shogun was gifted a USB that would prove insurmountably fateful, its contents including, among other things, Kendrick Lamar’s epochal Good Kid M.A.A.D City, a piece of gospel for Yung Shogun’s gestation as an artist and as a human. From there, Yung Shogun’s path was set: he had been given the blueprint for the creation of art that was inspiring, inspired, and didactic in the best sense, an artist whose ferocity belies his power as a force of good.
