               Ghetto                     approach, YoungQueenz prides himself as a creator
                                          who is always in search for originality and expression.
                                          Despite being in his early 20s, the rapper has already
                                          conquered sold out gigs around Asia, and has
                                          shared the stage with fellow Asian rap royalty, Rich
                                          Chigga, KOHH and more. Bringing with him a
                                          repertoire of hard-hitters and chaotic energy,
                                          YoungQueenz is set for his Singapore debut at
                                          Phuture on 23 February.

ABOUT ZOUK SINGAPORE
Zouk Singapore charges into the future with a fully evolved clubbing epicentre at the Clarke Quay entertainment
precinct. Maintaining the concept of an all-encompassing venue synonymous with the Zouk brand that many have
come to love, the current Zouk Singapore complex comprises of four distinctive yet independent outlets – Zouk,
Phuture, Capital and RedTail Bar by Zouk. All of which, are specifically conceptualized to cater to different age
groups and target profiles through a spectrum of varying atmospheres, experiences and music programmes. A key
interior design feature strategized with flexibility in mind, the Zouk and Phuture outlets can be merged by shifting
the soundproof partition wall which divides the two outlets to form a “super-club” arena to accommodate bigger
acts and larger-scale events.
