Biography

Bizzy (real name Bak Jun Young) was born in New Zealand on February 29, 1980. At the age of 7, he moved to Washington DC to live with his aunt. During his time there, he was exposed to Eastcoast hip-hop via his uncle (an African-American man) and his extended family. In 1995, he attended a music school in New Zealand and applied his knowledge when he became a DJ at local clubs. He was later admitted into The School of Audio Engineering.

In 2001, he moved to South Korea and auditioned at different labels. Most offered him roles as a back up vocal and guest rapper for Korean pop groups. He refused them because it went against his goals of becoming a rapper. During this time, he met Yang Dong Gun (YDG) and became a member of his hip-hop crew, Yucka Squad. He was later inducted into hip-hop crew, The Movement. Movement Crew member, Sean2Slow, observed how Bizzy would “always be busy,” thus leading to his current stage name.
