Today we’d like to introduce you to Kyle Young.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I got started working with my dad at a young age. I remember doing my first professional graphic design at 12. Since then, I have been fascinated by computers and programs. I found a real passion for music production while experimenting with different softwares. I got started using a program called Adobe Audition.
When it came time for college, I didn’t realize that you could go to school for music production. I chose film school because it was the closest thing to music that I saw being possible. It also gave me a reason to move to Los Angeles.
Currently, I live in LA as an artist. Over the years, I have produced many musical pieces and other media products. I have a studio space in the valley that I use to pursue my dream. Also under the brand is a hat company I created using the brand “Youradica”. Youradica is short for “Young Radical in California.
I have a passion for making and performing music and will be doing more and more in the future.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It’s never been smooth but I feel lucky. Things could have been worse. The biggest struggle has always been financial woes. My dreams always seemed to be bigger than my budget. The cost of living also makes that problem greater. I moved away from LA because of this. I moved back about two years ago with a new drive for success. The main struggle now is allowing adequate time to work on my passion/ craft.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Youradica – what should we know?
Youradica is a media and apparel company. We specialize in music and video. We are known for creating songs and creating visuals for them. We also have a hat line. This was created as an ongoing promotion for the company and its brand. What sets us apart from others is the triple threat aspect. Music, video, and fashion. Youradica has its eye to the street and is always up to date or ahead of the current waves of entertainment and clothing.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My biggest mentor and inspiration is my dad. All my life he has been an artist and entrepreneur. He showed me how to think outside of the box and that you can be your own boss. He also showed me the importance of pursuing your dreams and passions.
