The Creation of a Successful Artist – Fredrick Cunningham aka Yoo Ali

The music industry is tough right now because it seems like every kid dreams of becoming a famous rapper so they can sing about the money they have and all the cars they own. It's hard for normal people to relate to this stuff, so it's refreshing when an artist like Yoo Ali comes on the scene. He is well known for his work with great artists like Drake, Blocboy JB and Duke Deuce. His real name is Fredrick Cunningham and he was born in Memphis, Tennessee on May 15, 1995. Yoo Ali produces a lot of high quality content for other artists, but more recently he has moved on to creating his own music. Her three singles to date are Manhood, Count Me Out and Whole life. His inspiration to create music came from all the hardships and experiences in his life. In a Genius breakdown, they dissect his song, Manhood, and it's clear how much passion and truth goes into his songs. In the song, he goes into depth about how the people closest to him betrayed him and stabbed him in the back, so he has to take it with him. The song continues and Yoo Ali goes on about how even after so many people wronged him, he stayed true to himself and never changed. This method of music creation results in very inspiring and relevant songs.

Yoo Ali stays well connected with his fans via social media. His most used platform is Youtube which he uses to provide his 116,000 subscribers with all the quality content he has produced. His Youtube page is flooded with music videos and other entertaining content. Its Youtube content has provided a total of 46 million views. His other platform he uses for updates and to share his thoughts is Twitter, where he has 2.1,000 followers. He also uses Spotify to deliver his music to his fans and he produces 1,571 monthly listeners. Her personal Instagram, @yooali_, features videos and photos that provide normal entertainment or updates on her current and upcoming projects. All of this content as well as the many posts from other artists in which he is tagged are provided to his 21.5,000 followers. Its platforms are all well managed and the amount of content on its pages is more than impressive.

The way Yoo Ali puts so much care and attention into his work really grabs your attention and makes you want to watch all the videos he has posted. That, in addition to his unique songs that tell a whole story, makes him a very unique type of artist. I can't wait to see what he has planned for the future.
