Bio

Erick Mobegi, professionally known as Yung Koded is a Kenyan-American rapper, singer/songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur.

Koded began his career in 2015, originally making music under the name Myzz, but these releases have since been deleted from the Internet. On April 18, 2020, Koded made his first public appearance under his current moniker, premiering a track called "Suicide" on his YouTube channel. Signed to Chinatown Music Group (a US-based Label), he has been able to work with high profile artists in the East African Music Industry - propelling his popularity in the region. In the following months, he followed up with "Mteja" feat. Breeder LW, "LWYD" feat. Khaligraph Jones, and "Fuego" feat. Trio Mio, which went on to become his breakthrough songs; charting Kenya's radio charts.

His music is characterized by its diversity in style and incorporation of genre/sub-genres such as indie rock, afrobeat, Hip-Hop/RnB, pop, and punk - just to name a few. He intelligently blends tales of his life, love, and dreams, with dark humor, politics, and satire. Add Koded's ability to captivate and animate any crowd, with his ease of working on multi genres, he is definitely an artist that you will be remembering for a while!
