Author: Youa Vang Youa Vang

Writer Youa Vang is appreciative of all genres of music — even country. She lives in St. Paul and, along with Mn Artists, writes for the Current, MSP Magazine, MN Monthly and reports on music for MPR. She has interviewed over 500 artists in her time as a journalist—some of those famous (Jeff Bridges, Chris Thile, Aimee Mann, David Lovering, Jeff Daniels) and many of those local to the Twin Cities who are just trying to make it. When not writing about music or attending shows, she can be found working on her standup comedy and cross-stitching mischievous sayings while watching The Simpsons.
