We had the good fortune of connecting with Yung Haze and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yung, what’s the most important thing you’ve done for your children?
Learning how to apologize when I’m wrong. I feel like a lot of people just look at it as they’re kids and they don’t really have those kinds of feelings but deep down from past experiences I can say that it traumatized me more than made me “tougher” or “disciplined”

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It was a time where I didn’t have my own studio so I invested months of hard work to save for the best equipment. When I finally got everything on my own it felt empowering. I got a chance to learn Protools More than what I thought I did. I experimented with my voice and different plug ins. I watched countless tutorial videos and even had a close friend mentoring me on how to grasp my sound. It’s so easy for me to come up with a hook now so I’m starting to feel like I’m stepping into my actual “artist” zone. especially when it used to take me days to finish a song. I just learned to stay patient and continue to evolve with your mind and not hold it back from whatever new sounds I might end up liking.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite food is soul food. My number one spot is on Covington Hwy called “Who Got Soul!” And I have one more spot on Rex Rd called “Tookes BBQ” I love these food spots because their food always taste like it came straight out of grandmas kitchen on a Sunday.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
A artist that goes by the name of “ KayyTF” he actually taught me how to mix my vocals and gave me a few pep talks in between the beginning and now to the reason I even have the sound that I have now. Everything you hear is because of him.
