The melodic tongue twisting charismatic femcee you see before you was born in Alamogordo NM, traveling from Texas Virginia Illinois & settling in Savannah Georgia all by way of military orders. With my mother and fathers influence by their band. I was born to be musically inclined. My mother's popular all girls band KLJ had me present or  apart of modeling for sirens imaging in Savannah GA  photoshoots, talent shows such as showtime at the Apollo NYC, dance classes, plays & auditioned for the Bernie Mac show. 
At the age of 16, I grew into the nickname yaya given to me by my bffs. I began to write poetry and shortly realized I could turn my  poems into rhythmic verses. In my mother's home studio I wrote & produced my first songs. In the midst of finding myself musically i struggled as a teen with  volatile relationships in my home as well as with life among peers. The boys bored in  Savannah's humid summer days instigated fights among the girls daily. 
Between the ages 16-18 I personified my name yaya. I was confident funny & a no bs taker. This attitude, violence in my home & several other incidents pushed me so far into depression I overdosed on sleeping pills. This was not the last time I would battle for my life. a year later one month after my high school graduation I was shot in my chest outside of a local nightclub after a falling out with  girls I once called my friend. 
By the age of 18 I watched my life go full circle I witnessed the rise and fall cause and effect repercussions of my choices. I wanted to change my life around. I enlisted in the Navy in 2011 at 20 years old. I was stationed in Washington DC as well as Norfolk Virginia. I had achieved so much. I worked hard to succeed in the Navy.  I mentally and physically grew stronger. The isolation of deployment forced me to seek outlets to express myself. It had been years since I wrote a song. In order to conform to the demands as a sailor I lost myself. Out to sea, music became my release. I began to write my thoughts out and the amount of depth in my words, the growth in the feelings & the questions I asked myself amazed me. Music was my balance. Four years past. The end of my enlistment was coming up. I faced a major crossroad in my life .. to reenlist or not to reenlist that was the question? What i was doing was honorable I loved to inspire my shipmates to give them advice  but I could do more. Feb 9 2015 my life changed yet again. I stepped out on faith & left the security & stability of being a sailor to start grinding to reach people with my story. Like Slick Rick my raps paint a picture. I want to empower the youth. The  women that go through the things I've been through to be the change that you want to see. you don't have to be a product of your environment. I've been called a screw up. Everybody screws up. Adapt to overcome. that's what my music represent. Individuality. The ability to get it out the mud & come out clean. I think the world needs a female rapper to represent the south & I intend to give the world a run for their money by creating my own lane.  

They call me TRUEZ.  Real name, Stage name.
