Young Yonny



Ron "Young Yonny" Ferebee, a Cleveland Ohio native, has been producing music since 2005 for major hip-hop and R&B artists such as, Lil' Mo, Trina, Lil' Wayne, Trey Songz and many more. His first major placement was with one of hip- hop's biggest artists, Lil' Wayne, on his multi-platinum album: "The Carter II." In the same year, he teamed up with duo 216 (also Cleveland natives) and their single "U Should Know" landed a spot on the soundtrack for MTV Films highest grossing film, The Longest Yard (grossing over $190 million worldwide to date). Under the management of Don Corell, a former national concert and events promoter, Young Yonny hasn't looked back since his 2005 strong production placements.

In 2006 he produced for another Cleveland native, Ray Cash, for his critically acclaimed first album "C.O.D." released by Sony.

The year 2007 took Young Yonny's career to a new level. He signed a publishing deal with Royalty Network and appeared on BET's 106&Park, as a guest judge for Freestyle Friday. Young Yonny seemed to go into over drive in 2007, as he landed several album placements and songs with Birdman, Hell Rell, Mya, Lil' Mo, Tum Tum, Trina and Lil' Wayne. Young Yonny built more than production for some of these artists, he built a personal bond with them, which is hard for producers to achieve. From Mya to Trina (who can be heard on Young Yonny's production tags saying "ooh Yonny") and Lil' Mo, Young Yonny's relationships grew as well as his production credits.

Young Yonny's production credits did not slow down in 2008. He produced once again for Mya, Lil' Wayne, Trina and added Diamond (formerly of Crime Mob). He became a regular staple with several artists, but stayed relatively unknown to the masses until 2009. Young Yonny

In 2009 not only did Young Yonny produce again with some of his past artists like Lil' Wayne and Mya, he also produced for 2 Pistols, Jim Jones, Trey Songz and the internet leak of Rihanna's track "Terminator." His work with Trey Songz would become one of the highlights in his carrer.

Trey Songz' single "Say Aah" featuring Fabolous became a huge hit, especially with fans, making it Trey Songz' first Top 40 hit from his album "Ready." "Say Aah" climbed the Billboard Charts (including R&B and Radio) and a video was shot for the record. The video and behind the scenes footage reached a combined of over 2 million hits on fans youtube pages, and the video for "Say Aah" was featured on MTV2 as Jam of the Week. The "Say Aah" video was also featured as the second half of the BET 106&Park premiere of Trey Songz' video for "I Invented Sex," which spent weeks on the countdown. "Ready" was nominated for a Grammy, one of the biggest honors in music (Best contemporary R&B album).

With all his production credits and his growing production career, Young Yonnys main goal has always been about keeping his family as his main priority. It is not rare to see Young Yonny out with his wife, or when able, to have his two sons with him at events he attends. Young Yonny credits all of his success to his family, his higher power, and the team he keeps around him. When asked about his career, the best way this humble producer sums up his achievements: "I am blessed."
