Early life

Matt Hauri was born in Rochester, Minnesota. He studied marketing at the University of Wisconsin, and later earned his degree in December 2017. While attending college, he began rapping for fun at camps, parties and other events organized at the university upon the request of his friends.[6][7] In his junior year, he started to take his rapping career seriously after seeing the rise of rappers such as Lil Yachty and Ugly God. In 2016, he quit his job and dedicated himself to making music, spending months self-recording songs.[6]

Style

Yung Gravy's music is a blend of modern trap music, with themes inspired by the soul and oldies movements of the 1950s and 1960s.[8][9] For example, his hit single "Mr. Clean" samples the 1954 popular song "Mr. Sandman" by The Chordettes.[10]
