YoungCliff JBI: Rising from the Struggles to Inspire Through Music

From the streets of Kumasi to the grand stage, YoungCliff JBI is a name to watch out for in the music industry. Born Clifford Amung-Bil in Tepa and raised near the Zongo Police Station at Asem Fante New Town in Kumasi, his journey is a testament to resilience, passion, and unwavering belief.

The stage name YoungCliff JBI has a special meaning. A childhood friend, older than him, first gave him the name YoungCliff. However, he decided to add JBI —which stands for Just Believe It—because he firmly believes in everything he does. This strong sense of self-belief has been a driving force throughout his journey.

Songwriting for YoungCliff JBI is an intimate process. He prefers silence when writing and sometimes even turns off the lights in his room to get into ‘dark mode’ for deeper inspiration.
