When asked about his journey and the inspiration behind his “Start the Movement” EPK, Yung JR had this to say, “It’s a joyful yet humble feeling. The inspiration really came from my I and my brother regular reasoning where we saw the need to create a musical project and incorporate a practical aspect to it. We believe music should not just stop at recording and performing but really getting out there to give a helping hand where needed and participating in events that’s for the good of mankind.”
