Twist Online : Who or what inspired you to get into music industry?
Yah-Lanskey : I been asked that alot and I can now say I love making music and any type of creative writing.

Twist Online : Tell us briefly about your music journey?
Yah-Lanskey : My journey from southwest philly was above average because I am street smart and book smart.I learned early to separate emotions from business and realized most people that can do that are the most successful. I had it hard at times growing up my mom died when I was 10. My father was amazing grooming me for life.He was a ex gangmember in philly and taught me independance and to understand that your in the streets as soon as you leave your house.I am not proud of what I did in the streets but I also have no guilt.Iam recognized as a black man but I am really a Moor.My family is mainly Lenni Lenape(Delaware Indians).So imagine knowing your family owned this country and got mislabled and mistreated your gonna rebel or fold.
I rebelled after getting arrested for a crime I did not commit.I began hustling more as a challenge that I will not get caught and luckily I did not.I smugled drugs all over the tri-state sometimes as a middleman others for my own profit.I grew into understanding how to be recognized correctly and to uplift my people instead.My music reflects a mixture of the good the bad the ugly in my life. People always support me then something pulled me back doing videos now and signing with Addventuresmusic raised my confidence and will also raise my fan base so I would say my journey is well worth it.I appreciate everything because I fought for it.
