Christopher Omenye, professionally known as Yung L (pronounced Young L), is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and performer.
Yung L was born and raised in Jos, Plateau State. His mother greatly influenced his decision to become a musician, first by introducing him to the church drummer, and later, to the church pianist (Meca-E of Square Records).[1] They both taught him the rudimentary aspects of music and how to play certain instruments. He soon began playing the drums in church, and Secondary School.
A graduate of the University of Jos, Omenye started singing, rapping, and performing at social events and joined a music group known as Mac9. They performed songs by some of Yung L’s musical influences such as Damian Marley and Jay-Z.[2]
