Will produce any style and genre you want/need. Hit me up.
Mikey Rodriguez, professionally known as yung sum, is at the forefront of his game. He charismatically experiments with musical styles ranging from Alt Pop to EDM, with a dash of Hip-Hop, all while continuing to move fluidly through the Pop space. His debut track, "Moving On," is most recognizable for its unique take on modern pop music, being featured on marquee Spotify playlists such as Fresh Finds, Study Break, and Libra, ultimately garnering over 1MM global streams.
yung sum is consistently crafting an ingenious sound while displaying versatility, familiarity, and bringing bliss to his audience’s ears. He has written, produced, performed, mixed, and mastered all of his original content. Following his most recent "california," (featured in Apple Music's Indie Pop, INDIY, New Music Daily, Wildflower, and Spotify's Bedroom Pop and idk.), "people think i'm okay, i'm not" is out July 23 on Black Box.
