Early life
Yung Tago was born August 5th 1997 in Arlington, Tx, when Tago was only 5 years old they moved to Africa “When we went to Kenya, I was young and just thought we were on a trip,” Tago said. “Then we kept livin’ there, and I enrolled in school, and six months turned to three years. It was a crazy experience cause everything is so different. It helped me and my siblings become more self-sufficient, and when we moved back to the states I was way ahead in school. That time over there taught me to be happy with what you have, and learn what life has to offer.”
Around music
“Yung Tago” would always be around music, Tago says “I’ve always been in music, even made songs back when I was in Kenya banging on mop buckets – I was in choir and played the piano and trombone – but after high school I had no idea what I wanted to do, but knew I wanted to do music” he said. “It was just all of a sudden, I downloaded this software called FL Studios on a laptop and it was something where you had to make a beat or else it gets deleted. It was pure curiosity. I wanted to see what I could do. I had no experience whatsoever, and it got me into production. I found myself loving it. I did it all day and all night.”
Career
Yung Tago used to sell beats on SoundCloud and YouTube, he started selling beats going to studios, just to see how it all worked, he stated “I quickly learned that I need to create a sound of my own and mesh it with the sounds that inspired me”
African culture
The African culture would make a huge impact on his life and the music he would create in the future. To this day, listeners of Tago’s work remark on the distinct sounds and rhythms of the drums. “Over there, it’s all drum-based,” he said. “It’s what keeps people moving. They call it an Afro style and you hear the tribal drum bring a completely different element to the music. Over time, I’ve meshed it with my sound and made it my own.” When people ask Tago how his music career started, he says “pure curiosity.”
