From the heart of Las Cruces, New Mexico comes an artist whose music carries both authenticity and heart. Known by the name A Y GoNZ, this creative soul blends raw emotion with a fearless love for sound. His presence online can be found through his Instagram handles @alwaysyourszgonz and @vibemeout, both of which showcase his growing artistry and genuine energy.
A Y GoNZ first began making music around 2018, but his connection to rhythm goes back much further. As a kid, he would rap the words his uncle and cousin gave him, turning childhood fun into a spark that would one day become his passion. Those early moments planted the seed for what would later grow into a deep artistic journey.
When asked what inspired him to pursue music, his answer is simple yet powerful. To him, music is art in its purest form. It is a way to express emotion, share experience, and create something that others can feel. He sees every song as a piece of his soul and believes that art in all its forms is meant to be shared.
His sound cannot be confined to one category. While he mainly creates rap, hip hop, and R&B, he refuses to limit himself to any single style. He embraces all kinds of music and draws inspiration from a wide range of sounds. Even though he only plays the harmonica as a hobby, his ear for melody and rhythm speaks for itself.
One artist who has had a deep impact on him is Lil Snupe. A Y GoNZ credits Snupe as the reason he continued to push forward and keep freestyling. He honors his influence with the heartfelt words, long live the freestyle king.
Although his journey in the music industry is still beginning, A Y GoNZ describes it as a blessing so far. He is still finding his path, but his dedication and passion are already clear. While he has not yet released an official project, he is currently working on an R&B EP that he says will capture his versatility and emotion.
One of his most meaningful moments so far came from something close to home, hearing his little sisters play his music and truly vibe with it. That moment reminded him why he creates in the first place.
Right now, A Y GoNZ is focused on growth and consistency. Along with his upcoming R&B EP, he is releasing new rap singles and preparing to share a track titled “Be There When U Call” featuring Karii, along with two other songs that are still under wraps for now.
A Y GoNZ is still writing the early chapters of his story, but his drive, humility, and passion make it clear that his name will continue to rise. From Las Cruces to wherever his sound travels next, one thing remains certain, he is always creating from the heart.
