A native of London, Youthstar began his career on the Drum&Bass scene, in particular within the Dirtyphonics collective, then with Camo and Krooked during a world tour. In 2014, Youthstar meets the group Chinese Man then joins their tours around the world and participates in the project The Groove Sessions Vol.3. He also surrounds himself with Senbeï (Smokey Joe & The Kid) on production and released his first 2 solo projects on the label Chinese Man Records, SA.MOD and Back To The Sauce, on which he collaborates with many artists such as Chill Bump, Dope DOD, ASM, Deluxe or Foreign Beggars. While touring with his own live, he also performs on tour with Chinese Man in France and worldwide for the album Shikantaza.
Miscellaneous is first and foremost the voice of the fusion group Fumuj and Rytmétix, in which he had the opportunity to collaborate with Doctor Flake and Metastaz. Pure English native speaker, Miscellaneous arrived in France at the height of the golden age of French rap and quickly imposed his sharp and impulsive flow.
Since 2010, he leads the duo Chill Bump with the beatmaker Bankal. The group releases 4 albums (Ego Trip, Crumbs, Going Nowhere and Crumbs Vol. 2) and performs on many French stages and abroad. Over the years, Miscellaneous multiplies collaborations (Biga*Ranx, Taïwan MC, Foreign Beggars, Smokey Joe & The Kid, Senbeï, Degiheugi, ASM...) and gets closer to the group Chinese Man and the MC Youthstar with whom he forms an explosive duo.
At the end of 2021, Youthstar & Miscellaneous release their shared album “Out Past Curfew” on Chinese Man Records.
In 2022 the duo released their EP entitled "Stranger Times" with producers like Bankal from Chill Bump, Rhino (ASM), Coeur Nwar and more.
Now for 2023, they have come back strong with their second album entitled "Salvation" with some amazing features from BIGA*RANX, Dope DOD and FP (ASM), and productions from the likes of La fine Équipe, Tha Trickaz, Ennemi, Olo (On Dub Ground) Rhum One and many more!
This album has something for everyone! Album due in March 24th. Get ready!
