 The transition from the streetz to the fame is usually the hardest transition for most Artist and the Biggest,but not for Young6ixx(Born Danny Johnson). In 2005 Young6ixx was discharge from the United states Army,to return home and find the change from green to gray(soldier to civilian) would be the hardest and biggest challenged he has come to face.
Accustomed to The military Lifestyle ,Young6ixx often found himself struggling to fit in with the day to day normal life of a civilian. With only a few options to resort too,6ixx turned to Music.Sixx quickly enlisted the help of partners and longtime friends Chris “Robbin Reagal” and Francois “Lo” Wise to help run the company I.A.R entertainment(It's A rap!!), and kept a good contact to JJ "Beast"Aponte, who he met while serving in the army and first recruited 6ixx to his independent Label (Best Out Entertainment.). Not just limited to music as a recording Artist, Young6ixx is multi talented artist who can do it all. Its time to put Riverside on the map.
Young6ixx is positioning himself to be at the forefront of the revival of the westcoast. Sick of the lack of quality music and the way the west coast rap is portrayed through the media, Young6ixx is going against the grain to shed a new light on the west coast music scene.So Three(3) mixtapes and two (2) itunes releases later,and over 500+ shows Sixx passion and penchant for making music has made him the Artist to be on the look out for. Young6ixx has opened up for many major acts,such as G-unit, Fat Joe, Olivia,Cassidy,Fabolous,Mike Jones, Joe Budden, Ying Yang twins,Paul Wall, and many more.. and rocked stages with some of the greatest. Young6ixx has been booked throughout Europe and as far east as Malaysia, on the own merit of his Music. Young6ixx sound is far from the typical westcoast artist, his voice is new and His energy from his performance is motivating. The lyrical content is witty , upfront and fun. When young6ixx is asked how he would describe himself and his sound he responds, " I am Mr. 1 of 1" and he truely is.
One cannot help but go through life with hopes of being successful. Its those who possess the determination to turn dreams into realities that are bound for and will be great. Sixx is unlike most who began his destiny at an early age, with only 4 years under his belt and his continuous drive to devote his life to fulfilling his dream; for his passion and love for music, is what sets Sixx apart from the rest. Soon Sixx will front-page and receive the ovation that is well deserved.
