Edit history

Yung Whitty is a Gimuy (Cairns) based hip-hop artist/singer-songwriter, and proud descendant of the Kamilaroi Tribe from Northern NSW. His passion for music has grown from the desire to pursue a mission of truth and honesty through storytelling, drawing inspiration from artists such as Juice WRLD, XXXTENTACION and Lil Peep. Coming from a family with diverse cultural backgrounds, Whitty explores his lived conflict in attempting to reconcile his European and Indigenous Australian cultures, all the while attempting to 'fit in' to a regime that dismantles his self-determination and self-confidence. Yung Whitty presents a face-front account of his troubled upbringing, which includes managing a history of family mental health disorders. Through his honest lyricism, he strives to connect and unify listeners struggling with mental health and provide a platform to challenge social norms and modern group acceptance criteria.
