Early December 11th 1985, Shaquan “Yung-Face™” Brown was born in Richmond, CA, to his mother Victoria Brown. Shaquan was the first of four children. He preceded two sisters, Brittany and Kiara, and one brother, Rashawn. All four were two years apart. Rashawn died shortly after birth. Shaquan had somewhat of a pestilential childhood. His mother, Victoria was fluctuating on drugs, and mothered her children irregularly. Shaquan and his sisters spent a majority of their childhood with their Aunt Darlene and Uncle Michael. But living with extended family, as much as you may love them, their house will never be a home. From 6th grade until age 18, Shaquan was in foster care. For four years he lived with a foster family but then got transferred to a foster home. Most of teen life was spent in a foster home. Shaquan left the foster home at 18, and was strong enough to stand on his own two feet. He went and got his degree in Business Technology. A couple years down the road he was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation. Chiari Malformation is a brain disorder in which the brain becomes too large for the skull’s capacity. After going through intensive surgery on his brain, Shaquan continued to preserve through life.



Shaquan is now on his own to feet making his way in the world. He works at a well renowned brokerage company. During an interview with Shaquan, he was asked, what positive things about his childhood can he remember. He shared that he reminisces about different childhood occasions where he made up dances and taught them to the other neighborhood children, hosting faux talent shows and imaginary dance competitions. He talked about when living with his uncle he always used to always watch his uncle work on computers and create music; his uncle was a jazz producer. His uncle made him take piano lessons and play the drums in church. His uncle did it out to train Shaquan to be disciplined and dedicated, but Shaquan did it because it was a passion. Shaquan loved music, enjoyed rap, was enthralled with beats; making music his first real love.



With determination and music come women. There were different women that surrounded him during the fabrication of his music. The commonality of all the women is that they seemed to compliment his youth like face. He got the name Yung-Face™, because no matter how much older he gets his face remains youthful in appearance and stolid in times of hardship. From Bay Area to South-Side Phoenix Yung-Face has been a success. Now he owns his own studio and his own label, We-Up-Next ENT. ™.



Yung-Face™ was asked about his career goals with and after music he said, “With my music I plan to incorporate whatever I can. I want to build this label on more that just one stylistic fashion of music. This label should be a collaboration of all sorts of genres. It should not be solely music; a clothing line is a strong endeavor. I want to build an empire… After all this is said and done, I want to pass all my knowledge of business to my children, simply retire, and then share in all my accomplishments…”
