Leonardo Schlereth, famously known by his stage name Young Cardi, has taken the music world by storm with his sound attracting massive attention and praise. Young Cardi has already topped five million streams across various music streaming platforms, with his songs having made it to global charts. Young Cardi charted in Spotify’s Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago’s top ten pulse charts. He has also made it to the top 10 in the Austrian iTunes Hip-Hop Charts and the top 50 in France’s iTunes Hip-Hop charts.

His unique music style and great sound have enabled him to quickly break into the global music scene, flying the flag of Monaco high. Young Cardi takes a different approach to music writing. He believes each song has a special story to tell, which he aims to bring out by incorporating various elements. Young Cardi’s sound is refreshing, with sonics influenced by JuiceWRLD, XXX, and Kanye West. By combining the three and borrowing from different genres, his end result has created a timeless and relaxing sound that delivers his intended message perfectly.

Young Cardi has released several tracks, including “DRAMA,” “WORTH IT,” “STONE ISLAND,” and “STARGAZING ft. Nate Smallz”. “STARGAZING” is Young Cardi’s most recent release, having gained more than one million views on YouTube in less than three weeks. Young Cardi is currently working on his first EP, OUTSIDER, which is slated to release in late January. According to the young star, his goal is to create music that empowers and encourages his listeners while providing some sort of escape: “To me, music has been the perfect escape. It is the place that I go to for assurance, inspiration, encouragement, and everything else,” says Young Cardi.

He wants to create such a space for others through his songs as he shows young people that it is possible to get to the top—you just have to be patient, believe in yourself, and work hard. Young Cardi is from Monaco, a small country with a music scene that’s still developing. When he began his journey, many didn’t believe he would make it past his country’s borders and didn’t take his work seriously. Most tried to discourage Young Cardi, telling him a music career would not work out and that he could change paths, but he didn’t quit.

Young Cardi chose to fight for his passion, taking music even more seriously through exemplary work on his music-writing skills and finding his unique sonic imprint. Today, Young Cardi’s music is well-received across the globe, notably with a large fan base in Monaco, across Europe, and listeners in the US. Young Cardi has collaborated with artists such as Nafe Smallz and Yung Tory and has been recognized by BeatStars.

As he continues to build his career, Young Cardi is looking to release more impactful music. He says he has several projects lined up, including his EP, OUTSIDER, which is set to release early next year. Young Cardi also hopes to work with more prominent global artists and hit the Billboard charts, setting his sights on a global tour with sold out arenas in his future.
