CYJfromthebay Carries A Unique Sound

CYJ grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin where he was challenged with being bi-racial in a predominantly white area. Since as long as he could remember CYJ wanted to be a rapper. He listened to lil Romeo, lil bow wow, and Chris Brown. Seeing the impact these artists had on the youth is what inspired him to become a rapper. He started out rapping when he was six years old and continued to push further with his music by handing out demo tapes during his high school years. He learned how to engineer his own work, started doing shows in Green Bay and Milwaukee, and has four projects out on all platforms.

“Is you an OG or an old head? That affects how I take your suggestions; my nigga don’t get offended. I need firsthand advice, if you ain’t never been there how you gonna steer me right. Google maps couldn’t take you where I’m at this point in life.”

These are lyrics from CYJ’s biggest song “The Truth”. If you are looking for an artist who speaks from the heart and has real authenticity, then CYJ should be added to your playlist. His voice, lyrics, and genuine style are missing in the current music scene. CYJ wants to inspire others in the same way his idols inspired him when he was younger.

“If I can make it out of little old Green Bay, you can make it out of wherever you are too.”

He wants to let his fans know that with enough hard work and dedication whatever you want to do in life can be accomplished. CYJ’s sound is unique because music to him is not a way to make money, but a way for him to maintain a sense of peace. Music should be more than just a way to make money. CYJ understands that he has an audience and with that audience he is sending out important messages and good vibes. Be on the lookout for two singles releasing soon by CYJ and make sure to check him out on Spotify and Apple Music under the name @CYJfromthebay.
