YOUNGCAYA is a trio from Los Angeles made up of Nima, Storm, and X'avier. They started playing together in the early 2010s after meeting at a local jam session. Their music pulls from hip-hop, pop, and R&B, and they've mentioned Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Miguel as influences.
They put out their debut EP 'The Way Out' in 2015, followed by albums like 'As Above, So Below' in 2017 and 'Truth & Lies' in 2020. Some of their tracks, including 'Lies' and 'VOID,' have drawn attention for lyrics that touch on personal struggles and social themes, which has occasionally sparked criticism.
Nima handles most of the vocals, Storm produces and writes, and X'avier DJs and brings energy to their live shows. Their sound tends to blend melodic hooks with atmospheric production, and songs like 'Thinking About' show their ear for moody, accessible arrangements.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
