Coming from Daveyton, Young Stunna said it was tough for him to break into the industry. “It’s the hardest thing when you’re not focused and don’t know your story. It takes a lot of self-discipline and staying at home to avoid a lot of things. I only left home to go perform because I wanted to stay away from a lot of wrong things. I made it by going out and showing love to the people I’d meet when performing. I’m a humble being and a respectful person, so that’s how I made connections with people. When you respect people wherever you go, they get to love you and actually want to work with you,” he said.
He has worked with multiple artists despite having been in the industry for a short period of time. “As a newcomer, I look up to these people and I always want to learn so much from them. I always listen to their advice and what they have to say. The experience has been amazing. Getting to work with them means more to me than just recording in studio with them. They show me respect and guide me on a lot of things. Once again, I regard that as a blessing because I’ve never imagined it all happening in such a short space of time.”
