Yoso | Quietly Becoming a Name to Watch| From Louisiana Roots to Austin’s Rising Voice

Yoso is an Austin-based independent hip-hop artist raised in Leesville and Winnfield, Louisiana, whose sound and stage presence are shaped by real-life experience, southern roots, and disciplined consistency. Coming from small-town environments that demanded resilience early, Yoso brings that authenticity into both his music and his performances. Known for his high-energy, crowd-engaging live shows, Yoso has built a strong performance résumé across Texas and regional markets. He has opened for and shared stages with Kirko Bangz, VonOFF1700, Lil Flip, and DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia, using each opportunity to sharpen his delivery and expand his audience. Whether performing at showcases, festivals, or packed venues, Yoso consistently brings intensity, clarity, and connection to the stage. As an official SXSW artist, Yoso continues to leverage festival platforms and live appearances to grow his presence organically. Musically, he blends street-rooted lyricism with melodic flow and modern production, creating records that translate just as powerfully live as they do on record. Operating independently through his imprint YDMG (Yoso Digital Music Group), Yoso maintains full creative control while building a catalog and performance history focused on longevity over hype. With strong southern roots, a proven live track record, and expanding press attention, Yoso represents a new wave of independent artists building momentum through authenticity, performance, and vision.
