His parents were heavy drug users before Yung Pinch was born, so they were never very good at looking after him.

He lived with his grandparents since the time that he was born.

When he was 5 years old, he tried to live with his mother, but it did not work out and lived with his grandparents again.

[18]

Although his grandfather passed away and his parents were not around, Yung Pinch was a responsible teenager.

He did well in school, completed assignments, while also looking

after his grandmother as she worked 12 hours shifts as a nurse.

[18]

By the time he was 11 years old, his grandfather died.

The experience taught him how to be the man of the house and grow up.

When he was in 8th grade he took up the art of rap freestyling.

Around this time in his development as a rapper he began listening to East Coast Hip hop. He experimented with the bom-bap sound with similar rhyme scheme bars found in the style of the 90s. [18]

By the time he was in High School, he began recording with Brandan "Matics" Maddox who introduced to the world of producing.

The collaboration allowed Yung Pinch to cultivate his knowledge of song writing with the use of skillfully crafted production.

He began to express himself different and followed a different sound and rhyme scheme ability.

Ultimately, they began to upload songs onto SoundCloud. [18] [18]

Move to Los Angeles

Yung Pinch moved to Los Angeles to continue his collaboration with Matics, who introduced him to his present manager, Sam.

During his new time in Los Angeles, he recorded the two songs, "My Time", "Bring Me Down" and "I care" which resulted in more than 3 million views.

His parents have had a hard time being sober throughout their son's life.

His mother is still out in the streets as a drug addict.
