So never have taken a days worth of vocal lessons, Yung Star began training himself how to better sing and started recording his own music. From then he went on to create an independent company called Yung Starz Entertainment.
In May of 2009, the company released their first project by an artist named Phaze I. Soon after, the song, "Get Ya Right," received radio airplay on 102.3 (KJLH). Three months later in August, Yung Star released his debut album, titled "Destiny of a Yung Star". The album received a 5 star rating on iTunes and brought many new fans & opportunities his way.
