**Early Life**

Born in Miami, Florida; Growing up in “Weston" a city in Broward CountyYvngin was influenced by a diverse range of musical styles, including Kanye West, Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Drake, Travis Scott, and Lil Wayne. From a young age, Yvngin showed a passion for music participating in elementary school talent shows breakdancing and honing their skills in performance then leading into songwriting.[1]

Transitioning from "bbsofly", the kid who was just seen with a plethora of celebrities on Instagram all the time, Yvngin began their professional music career in 2014 with his cousin Lavar who had asked Yvngin to try recording a verse on his song “Mercedes”.[2] The since deleted single gained significant attention in Broward, leading to a growing fan base and opportunities to collaborate with other artists.

This success was followed by the release of their debut album, "20/21" which showcased Yvngin's versatility and artistic growth. Yvngin had said ”20/21 represents what I was feeling in the making of the album, the hectic rollercoaster, this wild and this crazy process I was going through made me realize a lot of things about myself. Normal people see 20/20, but during this process one eye was like seeing the negative and holding me back making me see what everybody else sees and trying to keep me in a box, that’s 20. My other eye was pulling me forward making me see past the odds stacked against me and seeing things nobody else can see, that’s 21.[3]
