Matthew Raymond Hauri (born March 19, 1996),[2] known professionally as Yung Gravy, is an American rapper.

Early life, family and education

[edit]

Hauri was born in Rochester, Minnesota.[2] His father, Peter Johannes Hauri, was a Swiss-born insomnia psychologist; his mother is Cynthia Cleveland Hauri.[3] Hauri holds dual Swiss and American citizenship, obtaining the former through his father.[4][3]

Hauri graduated from Mayo High School in 2014.[5] He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison and earned his degree in marketing in December 2017.[6][7]

Career

[edit]

While attending college, Hauri developed branding strategies for start-up companies, and started multiple companies of his own.[8]

Inspired by the rise of rappers such as Lil Yachty and Lil Peep, he started his music career on SoundCloud.[8][9] In 2017, he quit his other jobs and dedicated himself to making music, spending months self-recording songs.[2] He missed his graduation ceremony because of his first sold-out tour, which started immediately.[citation needed]

He first gained recognition for his 2017 songs "Mr. Clean" and "1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot", both of which gained traction on SoundCloud and received platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). [10] He is often associated with the SoundCloud rap era as well as Canadian rapper bbno$, with whom he has released two collaborative albums and one extended play.[11] His 2022 single, "Betty (Get Money)" marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 30 and likewise received platinum certification.

His discography consists of one mixtape, four albums, and seven extended plays.[12] He has collaborated with artists including Lil Baby, Juicy J, T-Pain, Dillon Francis, and Lil Wayne, as well as television personality Martha Stewart.[13][14][15]

Selected events

[edit]

In April 2021, Yung Gravy received recognition from the professional hockey team Tampa Bay Lightning, who inscribed the title of Yung Gravy’s track “Gravy Train,” one of the team’s post-game victory songs, on their 2020 Stanley Cup rings.[16] In 2022, Yung Gravy performed at the pregame performance for the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots NFL football game on Thanksgiving Day.[17] In 2022, he was also featured on both Jimmy Kimmel Live and the MTV Video Music Awards Pre-Show, performing his hit single, “Betty (Get Money)."[18][19] In January 2023, Yung Gravy performed at the X Games, hosted in Aspen, Colorado; he also participated in the Special Olympics Unified Skiing competition, where he raced against professional freeskier Tom Wallisch.[20] Also in 2023, Yung Gravy returned to his home state to perform at the Minnesota State Fair.[citation needed]

Musical style and influences

[edit]

Yung Gravy's musical style is a blend of trap music with vintage themes often inspired by soul music of the 1950s and 1960s[21][22] and soul and funk music of the 1960s, '70s [5] and '80s:[8][23] For example, his song "Gravy Train" samples Maxine Nightingale's 1976 "Right Back Where We Started From",[24] and his breakout hit "Mr. Clean" samples the iconic 1954 song "Mr. Sandman" by The Chordettes.[23]

His musical style has been described as amusing, energetic, authentic, and bold.[25][26][27][28][22][29] Yung Gravy has cited musicians from multiple genres as inspirations; including hip-hop acts, such as Outkast and Three 6 Mafia; and soul acts, ranging from Smokey Robinson to The Blackbyrds.[30][31]
