One word defines him - Artist. Yancy, the Artist, weaves lyrics and  
 melodies to embody a pure, powerful expression of the world through  
 his skillfully crafted lens. Heavily influenced by fashion, design and  
 art, Yancy cleverly infuses all of his artistic pursuits into a  
 musical style that is unparalleled. Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in  
 Tampa, FL, Yancy studied graphic design at the Savannah College of Art  
 and Design. It was in that hotbed of creativity that Yancy's musical  
 expression took shape. His band YBQ (Yancy and the Breakneck Quartet)  
 became a popular staple on the southern music scene. Combining the  
 lyrical style of hip-hop's birthplace with the laid-back aura of the  
 south, Yancy developed into a performance artist that brings something  
 wholly new to the industry platform. Musically and visually, Yancy  
 inspires fans to consider a progressive take on the traditional  
 iconography of urban music. Coming from the world's fashion capital  
 and a family of designers, the Artist uses style to complement his  
 presentation of a new urban silhouette with the familiar urban pulse.  
 Yancy's music has a nostalgic feel that throws back to the days of  
 90's New York hip-hop while his appearance is a forward take on  
 European cool. Engrossed in the essence of art and culture, the former  
 front man of YBQ stays relevant on the scene as the personified  
 evolution of hip-hop. Yancy, the Artist, is the reason hip-hop lives.
