Today's guest is proof that you don't need a major label to build something real. Coming out of Boston, Massachusetts, he started making music as a teenager and quickly became one of the most talked-about emerging artists in his city.

Inspired by artists like Mac Miller, he released his debut album Lonely, MA in 2017 and hasn't slowed down since. His music has reached millions of listeners, including his breakout track No Mo, which has amassed over 3 million streams on Spotify.

But what really stands out is his independent mindset. From launching the DIY Junkyard Jam Tour across backyards and unconventional venues in America to taking his music internationally with The Gold Standard Tour, he's built his career on authenticity, connection, and doing things his own way.

Today we're talking music, touring, independence, creativity, hip-hop culture, and the journey that's brought him here.

Welcome to Amsterdam Connect — Chase Murphy

In this episode of Amsterdam Connect, we sit down with Amsterdam-based artist and creative voice Georgy Morheafor a deep conversation about music, authenticity, creativity, and the evolving culture surrounding art today.

We talk about her journey into music, the emotional side of creating, and the balance between artistry and identity in a world driven by algorithms and constant content. Georgy also shares insights into Amsterdam’s creative scene, the current state of music globally, and why real human connection still matters in art.

We also dive into Beats Books & Bites — the community-driven creative experience bringing people together through music, conversation, and culture — and explore why spaces like this feel more important now than ever before.

This episode is about more than music. It’s about expression, community, and staying authentic in a fast-moving world.

Originally from Ukraine and now building her life and artistic journey in the Netherlands, Yary shares how her experiences, emotions, and environment shape the way she creates through drawing and painting.

We talk about her early life, what first pulled her toward art, how moving countries influenced her perspective, and what it means to use creativity as both expression and healing. This conversation goes beyond art—it’s about resilience, self-discovery, and finding your voice through change.

If you’ve ever wondered how life experiences shape creativity, or what it means to rebuild while staying true to yourself, this episode is for you.
