Javontay Deshaun Guidry was born a rap star the day his mom gave birth to him on October 17, 1992. Now known as Yung Tru, Javontay was born and raised on the west side of Phoenix, Arizona. Yung Tru was introduced to the music industry at the young age of 10 where he watched his father (Shay Guidry) making music with a group called Mayhem. Yung Tru's father held multiple roles in the music industry producing music videos, dropping albums, going on tours, and getting radio play. He even did a song with MC Ehit. After almost getting to the top, the group split up. All of the hard work they put it to the thousands of songs produced was lost. His father then decided to use his money and talent to become a manager. At the age of 13, Yung Tru had produced countless rhymes, but was too shy to actually perform them out loud. Shay Guidry decided to manage his brother Will B. Yung Tru’s Uncle Will was an r&b artist with incredible vocals and the god given talent to write his own songs. After witnessing his father’s success with his uncle, Yung Tru decided it was time to display his own talent. It was at this time that Javontay earned the name Yung Tru from his uncle Herbie. After having a stage name, Yung Tru was ready to display his talent and step into the studio. His first time making music was in a studio called Minds Under Craze ran by a guy named Oscar. Yung Tru felt comfortable here because Oscar was great at working with new artists. He made his first song entitled “I Got Dough”. This song was inspired by the hustle Yung Tru used to get to where he needed to be. Within hours of uploading the song to MySpace, Yung Tru received over 300 plays. He was the new hot rapper in the home of the bird city. Yung Tru was now 15 and realized that this was his dream and he would not stop until he reached it. He began making so much music that all types of artists in Phoenix wanted to collaborate with him. Yung Tru dropped his first mixtape back in 2010 called "Love And Respect". This mixtape let the streets know what he had coming for the Phoenix area. After dropping the mixtape, the name Yung Tru generated a buzz. As he walked through high school, more and more people started recognizing him from his music on MySpace. By doing tons of networking, Yung Tru started understanding a lot about the industry. He decided to begin another venture and started a music group consisting of people with different talents. The purpose of this group was for the artists to support each other and to gain an even larger fan base. This group called themselves "Fetti Bound Entertainment” and was made up of rappers, actors, singers, cameramen, poets, designers, and photographers. Yung Tru knew the unique talents his team possessed would bring a variety of fans. Around this same time, Yung Tru started doing shows, performing at different venues such as high schools, Club Rain, Famous Sams, Bar Smiths, Club Red, and block parties. Performing at multiple venues was great because it allowed Yung Tru to get his name out and do even more networking. Even as a kid, Yung Tru remembers loving music. He recalls some people thinking he was weird because he was young, yet very into the older music. One type of music Yung Tru always listened to was jazz. At the age of eleven, Yung Tru recalls just getting a whoopin for something stupid he did at school. He was never really a troublemaker, but he did make a few dumb choices as a child. After the whooping, Yung Tru was put on punishment by his father and forced to stay in his room. His dad wouldn’t let him watch or listen to anything but 95.5FM. Yung Tru proceeded to check the station out and it actually calmed him down. He continued to vibe with the music and think about his future. To this day, he continues to listen to Jazz. Yung Tru also likes old school music, r&b, and pop. He appreciates quality music and if it’s hot, he’s listening to it. School was something Yung Tru did not like whatsoever. However, because of the economy, he knew he needed that diploma to get a decent job. Yung Tru finished high school, went to college for a little while until he noticed it was interfering with his career. Yung Tru knew what he wanted to do and he didn't need anyone to tell him how to run his career as a rapper. There was so much work in college that he did not have time to do shows or make music. He stopped going to college to get back on track with his career and started working on his next project called "J.Guidry The Mixtape". That mixtape had some of the greatest songs Phoenix, Arizona had ever heard. Yung Tru put so much time into it that even his haters turned into fans. He now knows that everybody needs to stay focused on their dreams because you can reach your goal if you put the right amount of effort into it. Yung Tru wants everybody that supports him to just stay rockin with him because appreciates all of you. www.youtube.com/yungtruonline
