About Young Famous

My name is Xaviana "young famous" Barksdale.I was born Feb.3, 1994, raised in Clarksville ,Tn. Orginally from atlanta,georgia where i was tooken away from my mother at age 4. At a young age music played a major role in my everyday life. Whether I was beating on pots and pans, church choir, dance team or band, my fellow comrades sensed a love in music in me. New Years of 2004 I went to Nashville,Tn to visit my aunt ReRe. There, there were my godbrothers M.Polk and Milt who seemed to be consumed by the studio life. They called it being nosey but I genuwinely lurked around until they encouraged me to give rap a try. In 2006 I attended Kenwood Middle School where i challenged many of my closest friends Roland Reeves, Chainsaw, Sam-Go Hard, and many others in friendly cypher battles. 2011 I started realizing i had a gift, but it wasnt any ordinary gift. I slowly became big headed. A freestyle here and there would put me 10 steps up compared to everyone else. Funny thing is everyone defined me as "different", when it came to my personality and talent. Thing was I always wanted to get in the studio, but no one ever listened. I would tell people gimmie a beat and ima smash it, and they would laugh. I told myself soon as i have the power ima drop a couple of tracks. Literally.2012 at 17, i did a couple shows, clubs,parties, bbq festivals, with just features and the crowd was with me(due to Big Mook&etc). Though the actual spotlight lasted for 10 minutes roughly I felt a yurn to keep going. See Big Mook has a song with Project Pat(3.6), and he picked me up, "so im walking around like aint nobody my age touching me right now", but snapping back to reality due to me maxing out of fostercare I aint have a pot to pee in. So I decided ima drop 5 Hot Trackz and test the water.2013 its been an opening season for me im 19 now learning the loops of the game but keeping it all heart
