Born in Kyiv, Ukraine in 1998, YLO defied conventions from an early age. While rap was not popular among his peers, he fearlessly embraced the genre at just 13 years old. At 16, he moved to Chicago, USA, where he honed his craft amidst a rich musical landscape.
YLO's audacity paid off when his viral video, "Fuck Putin," garnered over 100,000 views and got a co-sign from a rap mogul Freddie Gibbs. He later shared the stage with punk legends Gogol Bordello, solidifying his reputation as a boundary-pushing artist.
Driven by a quest for artistic exploration, YLO is currently on an epic journey: shooting music videos in every country of South America. His latest work, the captivating "Level," was filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina. YLO's music is an electrifying fusion of cultures and influences, bridging the gap between rap and his Ukrainian roots, YLO's music defies expectations.
