Details:
Born December 30,1979, as Michael Wayne Atha in the small town of Gadsden, Alabama, the name YelaWolf was given to him by his Native ancestors through a vision quest he experienced in the year 2000. Regardless of the fact that YelaWolf is half Cherokee, he has been labeled "white" from day one. In and out of 15 different schools as a tormented child, moving from Alabama, to Tennessee to Louisiana to Mississippi to Florida to Georgia, YelaWolf consumed and absorbed the black culture in this mix of Southern gumbo. He was suspended for a rap he wrote in the fifth grade, forever making him determined to defy the close-mindedness of his peers. As a teenager, rap, graffiti and skateboarding were his creative outlets. He has been targeted by the redneck police and undercover Ku Klux Klan members in his own town, for standing out as a unique individual. Despite his struggle to be heard, YelaWolf continued to write raps and paint murals, creating the only graffiti in his hometown of Gadsden, Alabama. His elimination from "The Road to Stardom with Missy Elliot" only perpetuated his drive. He has been working on mastering his craft for ten years, and will continue to grow as an artist. As a lyricist and producer he has created his own unique sound, validating himself as one of hiphop''s originators. He has met with major CEO''s such as Clive Davis ( J Records ), Sylvia Rhone ( Elektra ), Tina Davis ( DefJam ), and Bruce Carbone ( Universal ) , denying him solely based on the color of his skin. His "work now, so my kids can play later" attitude is reflected in his music in that it is filled with content and substance. His new album CreekWater, defines all that is YelaWolf: colorless with no boundaries.
