Yo Maps is a Zambian musician, songwriter, and singer.
Yo Map’s passion for music began at an early age when he was a teenager schooling at Chibombo High School. While in school around 2008, Yo Maps was in the choir and did more gospel songs than secular. At home, his mother would not buy his idea to venture into music thereby grounding him to doing it while he was in school. This, however, did not dampen his spirit.
He continued doing his thing while in school and luckily, his father Muyunda Mundia is the one who got him on the springboard to musical success. Mundia was a gospel singer and dedicated catholic.
Yo Maps dedicated his soul to music and learnt as much as he would from 2008. As fate would have it, he bumped into Slapdee who he learnt a thing or two from and in 2011, he released his first album. People now knew his name because the music industry in Zambia was going through a trying time with the beefing of Slapdee and Macky2 whose music careers started almost at the same time.
