🎙️ Podcast: Out of the Ashes
🎧 Series: Redemption Talk
📖 Episode Title: Bars Over Bars: Music as My Freedom
👤 Special Guest: Yoshii Got The Wave

In Episode 3 of Redemption Talk, host Tyree Chwilinski sits down with Yoshii Got The Wave, an artist who found his way out of the streets through music. From growing up in a church-going family to getting caught up in the gang lifestyle, Yoshii shares how his early experiences shaped him—and how a moment of clarity behind bars set him on a different path.

He opens up about the realities of gang life, the false sense of loyalty, and the moment he realized he had a choice: stay trapped in the cycle or use his voice to inspire change. Through poetry, music, and mentorship, Yoshii chose to break free, using his lyrics not just as self-expression but as a lifeline for those still caught in the struggle.

🔥 Redemption: Acknowledging the past and embracing change
🔥 Rebirth: Using music as a tool to uplift instead of destroy
🔥 Restoration: Creating opportunities for the next generation to break free

💬 “I felt like it was me against the world—I had something to prove.”
💬 “You can’t straddle the fence. It’s either the streets or your purpose.”
💬 “All it took was one opportunity, one person believing in me, to change everything.”

Yoshii shares how mentorship, faith, and creative expression gave him a new purpose. He speaks to young artists about the power of influence—how music can either reinforce destruction or pave the way for healing. His message is clear: you don’t have to stay trapped. Freedom starts with a choice.
