Thaddeus Young stage name Hollywood Thad, is an independent upcoming artist out of Brockton, MA and the Co-CEO of  Stay Hungry Records. Hollywood Thad was born a twin on November 15, 1989 at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, MA. His parents Henry and Carol Young had stern beliefs. Being of Jamaican descent and growing up in church laid a foundation for him to be one of the most versatile artist in the game. His mother Carol Jackson (Young) was a famous singer in the 1970s her song titled “I’m gonna say goodbye” charted #1 in Jamaica. She came to America to pursue her dreams as an artist but life took its course and she became a wife and mother of 7.  

Growing up in the streets of Boston wasn’t easy, when he was in the 4th grade, while walking home with his brother’s someone ran up behind and tried to kidnap him. One year later, his oldest brother was shot 5 times on the front porch of their family home. At that point, his parents sold their home and moved to the outskirts of Boston to Brockton, MA.

Hollywood Thad has been surrounded by music his whole life. His parents Henry and Carol  are both pastor’s, as a child his parents formed a christian group that included Hollywood thad and two of his 6 siblings and Hollywood was the lead singer. Hollywood Thad, his twin brother & his younger brother were called the 3T’s. When they weren’t singing they were musicians. Hollywood  played the guitar player, his twin was the piano player with his younger brother being the drum player.

Growing up as a Pastor's child he was only allowed to listen to gospel music, nothing more. As a teen and young adult he grew to listen and love hip hop. The artists who inspired him to become a rapper were Meek Mill and J.cole, he would listen to the Dreamchasers and Friday Night Lights Mixtapes on repeat. His main inspiration came in 2013 when his first child was born, he wanted to leave a legacy for his children and something his mother would be proud of. 

His daughter was born in January and he wrote his first song titled “Need Drugs”  in February of 2013, that same year was his first time in an actual recording studio and he never looked back. Since then, he has opened for Bizzare of D12, Corey Gunz of Young Money, Lil Durk of OTF and Lil Baby of Quality Control Music Group.
