DaWeirdo (formerly known as Young HoodChiano) is an emerging American Hip-Hop artist from the Englewood Neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. DaWeirdo changed his name and style as a symbol to stand for any individual that is seen as an outcast, different, misunderstood, and overlooked.
Since age 9 he uses his experiences, through his lyrics, to speak out for individuals that are considered outcasts and have never had an opportunity to tell their stories. His creativity in the music industry has excelled his career to a broader audience where people from all walks of life can relate and understand his message.
DaWeirdo even created a music tour called “Stop Teen Violence Music Tour”, performing at Chicago’s inner city high schools. In this tour, he left motivational messages for students, encouraging them to focus more on their dreams than the streets. This led him to his television debut on BET “Get it” with R&B artist Lovandre.
“We are creative people that are not confined by stereotypes, thinking beyond social patterns, and changing the world.”
DaWeirdo’s movement since day one has been backed by his hometown Chicago’s 107.5 WGCI and the local Stack or Starve DJs feature his singles regularly.
“Thanks to them, being different can be seen as being creative and that’s the true meaning of a trendsetter.”
