Early and personal life
Hauri was born in Rochester, Minnesota.[2] His father, Peter Johannes Hauri, was a Swiss-born insomnia psychologist; his mother is Cynthia Cleveland Hauri.[9] Hauri graduated from Mayo High School in 2014.[10] He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison and earned his degree in marketing in December 2017.[11][12] While attending college, he began rapping for fun and started his career on SoundCloud after being inspired by the rise of rappers Lil Yachty and Lil Peep.[13] Hauri described himself as “doing way too much” while in college. Along with rapping, he delivered pizza in college.[14] In 2017, he quit his job and dedicated himself to making music, spending months self-recording songs.[2] Hauri holds dual Swiss and American citizenship, obtaining the former through his Swiss-born father.[15][9]
Musical style and influences
Yung Gravy's musical style is a blend of modern trap music with vintage themes inspired by the soul and oldies movements of the 1950s and 1960s[16][17] and soul and funk music of the 1970s and 1980s:[13][18] his song "Gravy Train" samples Maxine Nightingale's 1976 song "Right Back Where We Started From",[19] and his breakout hit "Mr. Clean" samples the popular 1954 song "Mr. Sandman" by The Chordettes.[18]
His musical style has been described as amusing, energetic, authentic, and bold.[20][21][22][23][17][24] Yung Gravy has cited musicians from multiple genres as inspirations — they include hip-hop acts, such as Outkast and Three 6 Mafia, and soul acts, ranging from Smokey Robinson to The Blackbyrds.[25][26]

In April 2021, Yung Gravy received recognition from the professional hockey team Tampa Bay Lightning, who inscribed the title of Yung Gravy’s track “Gravy Train,” one of the team’s post-game victory songs, on their 2020 Stanley Cup rings.[27] In 2022, Yung Gravy performed at the pregame performance for the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots NFL football game on Thanksgiving Day.[28] In 2022, he was also featured on both Jimmy Kimmel Live and the MTV Video Music Awards Pre-Show, performing his hit single, “Betty (Get Money)."[29][30] In January 2023, Yung Gravy performed at the X Games, hosted in Aspen, Colorado; he also participated in the Special Olympics Unified Skiing competition, where he raced against professional freeskier Tom Wallisch.[31] Also in 2023, Yung Gravy returned to his home state to perform at the Minnesota State Fair.
