YMF was born Rabbani Basnoe in Amsterdam, Netherlands in 2000. He grew up in the southeast of Amsterdam in one of the highest crime rated neighborhoods. He was a quiet child in school, but could get along with everyone. Although he had a low interest in school, he did have good grades. As a kid he was a big fan of Michael Jackson and at the age of 9 he discovered hip-hop music.

Already writing his own lyrics, YMF recorded his first song when he was 11 years old. Two years later he also started to make his own beats. He always looked at the work of producers and engineers, that’s how he managed to mix and master his own songs. After making music “on the low” and developing his own sound, he decided that it was time to release an official record. September 27, 2017 he released his debut album “2K”. When YMF isn’t working in the studio, you can find him on stage. On May 5, 2018 he performed at “Liberation Festival” in Utrecht, Netherlands and in June he did his first international performance at the “European Youth Event” in Strasbourg, France.

YMF has not left the studio, because on August 16, 2018, he released a new single called “On Lock”. Shortly after the single he released his EP “Leaked” on October 26, 2018.
