Yu is the up-and-coming artist the German pop scene has been waiting for. Growing up in NRW, the son of a single mother, the singer and songwriter danced and sang alongside street musicians as a toddler before playing music on the streets himself as a teenager.

Yu's lyrics are socially critical, always filled with a dose of irony and sarcasm. In his songs and on the streets, he fights for justice; his music is intended to inspire people to think and rethink.
