Adrian Younge (born May 7, 1978[3]) is an American composer, arranger and music producer based in the Los Angeles area.

His father is a lawyer and Younge himself earned a Juris Doctor degree from the American College of Law in Orange County.

He quickly learned to play several instruments and experimented with analog recordings which resulted in the Italian influenced Venice Dawn, which he released on EP.

[9] Younge, along with Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest, produced Kendrick Lamar's "untitled 06" song featuring CeeLo Green, which was later reworked into the track "Questions" from the 2018 album The Midnight Hour.

[14] Both projects were launched during Black History Month and each seeks to highlight the systemic racism that African Americans have endured in the United States and the psychological toll that results.
