When it comes to deciding which songs make it onto his album or playlist, YoCalum is deliberate about his process.

Reflecting on his early work, YoCalum recalls a song that unexpectedly resonated with listeners. He states, “One of my first songs surprised me. It’s not released under my name; it’s called 'Fly Guy by Wokbabi,' which was my original name before I switched it up. That song definitely surprised me—I wasn’t expecting that many plays.” Looking back, that experience taught YoCalum the unpredictability of music and the joy of connecting with an audience in unexpected ways.”
YoCalum’s creative approach is guided by instinct and authenticity. He shares, “When I’m working on something new, I trust my instincts.

I experiment, but I make sure whatever I put out still feels true to who I am.” For YoCalum, growth is an essential part of his artistic journey. He states, “Growth is part of the journey, and I want my fans to grow with me.” This philosophy reflects his commitment not only to his own evolution as an artist but also to fostering a deeper connection with those who follow his music.
