Louis Messina, known professionally as YUNG FLXSH, is an independent artist based in Orlando, Florida.
Blending alternative hip-hop, indie pop, and bedroom rock, his music exists in the space between numbness and emotion, creating atmospheric soundscapes built from reflection, change, and personal experience.
Born in Coral Springs, Florida on September 3, 2001, Louis spent part of his childhood in Long Island, New York before returning to Florida at 18.
The contrast between places, people, and experiences helped shape the introspective perspective that defines much of his music today.
Across releases such as Living Fast Dying Young, Wake Up, and Even Flames Dim Out, he transforms personal reflection into melody while exploring themes of isolation, identity, emotional distance, and self-discovery.
Dark yet vulnerable.
Raw yet atmospheric.
YUNG FLXSH creates music for listeners navigating their own struggles, transitions, and inner battles. Each release is built around honesty, emotion, and connection.
Operating independently under his imprint, I'm Already Dead Music, YUNG FLXSH continues to build a growing catalog while creating a space for future artists, collaborators, and creative projects.
