YoungMvck
(Born 18 November 1997) is a new Muslim British, Sudanese "indie" musical artist (rapper) that started his music career on the month of March year 2017 in the United Kingdom. His stage name YoungMvck (Pronounced 'YoungMac') came from the fact that he considers himself being a young successful "ladies man". Mostly known for his smooth, deep and subtle voice, unique beats and lyrical ability in his music.

YoungMvck's music varies from genres such as Hip-Hop/ Trap music/ Rap/ Pop music/ OldSchool music but generally Hip-Hop/Rap. His music is widely varied for different types of people.

The artist is based in Coventry, United Kingdom he currently studies Automotive Design in Coventry University; YoungMvck also visits Khartoum, Sudan where his father, mother, siblings, relatives and friends are based, his music is being recognized in Khartoum as a national musical artist and also in UK, he is also creating a buzz making people wonder who he is.

How he started
YoungMvck was known as designer/artist before getting into music, he had talent in drawing and designing since he was a child (about 6 years old), the obsession with music grew into him when his father Munier Mohammed Almubarak bought him his first USB stick MP3 player at the age of 9 or 10, according to what he told us in a recent personal meeting we've had with him he had songs such as Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier", Lil Wayne's "Lollipop", "A Milli" & many other songs from other artists such as Micheal Jackson, Alesha Keys, Snoop Dogg, BustaRhymes, Chris Brown, Drake, Eminem and many more.

YoungMvck explains that ever since he discovered music at an early age, he would write poems of his own expressing his personal feelings and so on, by the age of 13 YoungMvck switched his poetry writing skill/hobby to Music songwriting, he wrote songs lyrics of his own but never recorded himself until he was 14 on the night of his birthday (18th November, 2012), his father bought him his first laptop ("it was a small Samsung laptop with a red external cover and a white keyboard, i really loved it at the time, i was so excited when my dad gave it to me" states YoungMvck); using his laptop YoungMvck downloaded the "Virtual DJ" software and started playing around with it, playing instrumentals on one disk and recording on the other, playing it back and mixing it, "ever since that laptop, a dream inside me was born" says the artist.

Throughout the years, YoungMvck made his first song which was only 60 seconds long, the song then went viral and three of the most large highschools had a large number of people who heard it including his highschool (Unity High School), other two highschools named KICS (Khartoum International Cambridge School) and KAS (Khartoum American School), apparently he didn't want to release the song to everyone, he only sent it to his close friends and one of them ended up sharing it with a Whatsapp group, most people loved it and thought it was catchy and some made fun of it.

However YoungMvck never let that bother him, so he kept releasing songs on soundcloud after his first went viral and got his peers attention, People laughed, some supported, some doubted him, some even looked down upon him for actually believeing in himself, YoungMvck later on got busy with his graduation year in 2015, and he never recorded anything new (but still wrote lyrics almost everyday) until March, 2017, he uploaded a freestyle called "1 minute freestyle" on soundcloud and has got great feedback from people who knew him, turns out he earned a small fan base that were actually waiting for new music from him all those 2 years.

All his recordings before his song 'Jungle249' were actually recorded by his phone's mic while an instrumental was playing on a speaker in the background, but 'Jungle249' was his first studio recorded single.

Music Career
Up until now YoungMvck released four singles, 'Jungle249', 'Bottom Of 249', 'In the City' & 'Wovh' three of them were recorded in the year 2017 and released in 2018, these were Jungle249, Bottom Of 249 and In the City.

He also started his own music company/record label on January, 2018 at the age of 20 called RedTooth Records. One of the major reasons why he started the company was because he was searching for support and a music publisher but couldn't find an international one that supports hip-hop/rap artists in Khartoum & he didn't want to be signed to a label, so he created his own. RedTooth now hires 25+ employees, 10 of them are artists/producers.

YoungMvck announces his release dates on his social media (Instagram & Twitter).
