LAWLESS YOUNG

Tell everyone who you are and what you do.

What’s the deal? My name is Young Lawless and I’m a recording artist as well as a producer.

What made you want to pursue a career in the music industry?

My aunties sang background vocals for Deborah Cox and my uncles played the drums and guitar for Montell Jordan. I was always surrounded by music growing up so as I got older, I became more fond of the interest.

How would you define the music you typically create?

The music I typically create has a message or witty lines that might make you laugh I like creating punchlines that no one has heard.

Let’s talk about your single and the motivation behind the song. My single Coochie Hoochie ft YN Jay was inspired by the strip club. A Coochie Hoochie is a slang word for an exotic dancer. When you go to the strip club you might get approached by one of the dancers that work there.

Sometimes they walk up to you and ask if you want a lap dance. You might decline at that moment because you want a drink from the bar before you get your night started. If you decline, they will go to the next person. You could’ve been throwing money all night, if someone walks into the club and has more money, they’re going to follow the money like a hoochie. Coochie Hoochie went platinum. It charted at #18 on Hip Hop Billboard Charts and #1 on iTunes.

If you could perform anywhere in the world, where would it be? If I could perform anywhere in the world, it would be in Qatar. It’s one of the richest countries in the world and it’s beautiful.

What is one goal you want to accomplish this year?

One of my goals for this year is to win a Grammy if not win become Grammy nominated.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I’m a low-key comedian. Most people think I’m just a hood guy because my name is Lawless and I’m from Compton but I’m actually pretty funny and quite a prankster. I love to laugh and make other people smile.

Can you give some advice to someone that wants to be in the industry?

The advice I would give to anyone trying to pursue music is to never give up. Some of the people closest to you are going to doubt you but don’t get discouraged. Continue to work on your craft until you’ve mastered it.

Are you working on any new projects or upcoming events?

I’m currently working on my new album called Psychoactive 2. It’s a sequel to my last album Psychoactive which featured artists like Sukihana, Compton Menace, and Steven G.
