Born in the Caribbean island of Grenada,
Yung
Image (Brendon Baptiste) migrated to the
United States to live with his mother and brothers. Through his love for music
he found a common ground with his new environment. He quickly gravitated
towards artistes such as the late Notorious
B.I.G, 2 Pac Shakur, Jay Z, Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre, adapting Hip-hop and
mixing it with his Caribbean sound.
In 2012 Yung Image
teamed up with producer Jude Robertson (JRE), of Ghost Town Music. They
instantly became an awesome duo, releasing several songs including a gritty
Dancehall/ Hip-hop track called "All Black Everything", on the Secret
Society riddim. In May, 2013 Yung Image
scored 6th position on the IFE TOP 10 Chart, marginally behind Tarrus Riley’s –
“Gimmi Likkle One Drop”, I Octane’s – “Gal a Gimme Bun” and Alicia Keys’ – “Fire We Make”. Working alongside Island Fuse
Entertainment, Yung Image’s
music has received airplay across the Caribbean, Europe and United States. DJ
Alic of HOT 104.1 FM in Grand Cayman described “All Black Everything” as a
“Wicked Track!” Whilst Dj Enzo stated: “I have heard the single from this
artiste and I must say I very much enjoy the song, it has a positive and party
like vibe I think my fans will enjoy”
Yung
Image is now working on his third Mixtape and
EP, which will be followed closely by his debut album; with collaborations on
tracks such as "No Worries", "Work", "Foreign Gyal”,
and “Carnival Romance”. When asked what to expect from Yung Image in the near
future, he responded with his motto, "Music is the mission", a
testament to the relentless pursuit to take his music to higher heights.
