Bio

Yae aka L.A., (born as Christopher Bedford on January 19.1990 in Monroe, Louisiana), was born into music, from beating on the tables and walls in his mother’s house, to beat boxing at school. Life was hard for Yae as he was growing up from not knowing his father and being shipped around home to home. Yae ended up living in Ruston, Louisiana with his brother’s father at an early age which is where he picked up his rapping career. By the time Yae turned 13 he was already known in the streets as a “lyrical assassin.” At the age of 14 his brothers hooked up with Lil Boosie and Trill Ent. Which boosted Yae’s rapping career. But during that time Yae was put through the roughest time with his step-father and the way he was living his life on the streets, from selling drugs to just being out late nights and not coming home; but Yae doing so always was present for his classes in high school. Yae’s high school years in Louisiana were fun; he always knew how to get the right attention whether from his friends, teaching staff, especially the girls. By the age of 15, Yae and his step-father had gotten to the last straw and Yae was put out on the streets, and from there he moved to New Orleans with his brothers. After being in New Orleans for a couple of years Yae’s mentality about the game and the way of life had changed; all he wanted was the money, the cars, and the clothes. By the age of 19 Yae had moved to Minnesota with his mother to pursue his music life and career. Yae aka L.A. launched his career off with his 1st single “Elroy Jetson” which took the radio stations and streets by storm. After trying the solo scene for a while, Yae joined the group “NEW ERA SWAGG” with his God-brother “Staqz” and friend “Veezy.” The group hit the industry quick and hard, and made a huge name for their selves. In achieving so they would hit the M.O.A. and hand out hundreds of CDs, go to club Impulse and get there music spins at all events and get in good with KDWBs radio personality Big D and get plays on the radio. The group has had multiple performances throughout the Minnesota area, such as “The Sound Bar, Impulse Night Club, Valentinos Night Club, and parties around St. Paul and Minneapolis area.” Keezo Kane from G.O.O.D Music/ Mayblocc Ent. Got a hold of their music and wanted to take the boys to a whole other level with their talents and music. The boys went to Atlanta to meet Keezo Kane and came back with good news, and were now a part of Mayblocc Ent., shortly after the group came back, the group fell a part because of jealousy in the group, so Yae split from the group and started his solo career once again. Now being 2009, Yae aka L.A. is now working on his mixtape “Sooner Than Later,” and is expecting it to drop around the winter of ’09. With his single getting ready to hit the streets called “Livin’ the Life” is surely to push him to the next level. Yae is also under the wing of “Kiddricc” St. Paul’s Promise Kidd. Kidd being his mentor has opened Yae’s eyes to a more lyrical world in music and a better look on life. He has performed with Kidd at “The Sound Bar, and Bar Flyy” with more performances to come
