Young Viridii, born Jared Thom, is an artist on the forefront of the electronic pop scene. Hailing from Kansas City, Young Viridii has been writing songs since he was 9 years old and playing guitar since he was 10. At 18, he decided he wanted to learn how to produce his own music to enhance his career and has been working on improving his production skills ever since. Now, at age 23, Young Viridii draws inspiration from Jon Bellion, Imagine Dragons, and Twenty One Pilots, and writes and produces his own music to share his experiences with the world. He uses his songwriting as a method of therapy and hopes that his music will inspire creativity within those who listen to it.
The unique name that Jared adopted as his stage name, Young Viridii, (pronounced Young Ver-ih-dee), is Latin for lush, green, or youthful. He always wants his music to have a young spirit to it and be energetic, hence why he believed the name was perfect to represent his artistry. Currently, Young Viridii is working on his next E.P. while also collaborating within both the EDM and pop spaces.
