Kasey Rose Avalos[1] (born March 19, 1992), known professionally as La Goony Chonga, is a Cuban-American rapper and singer.
[5] As a child, La Goony Chonga wrote poems and songs with her friends at school in a slam book.
[6] In 2012, while in college for advertising, La Goony Chonga began posting freestyles to YouTube under the name Twiggy Rasta Masta, her Tumblr username at the time.
Motivated by comments accusing her of lying about freestyling, she soon dropped out of college to pursue music full-time, and, in 2013, briefly moved from Miami to Los Angeles, where she performed live for the first time at the Ham on Everything party.
[5][10] She identifies as a chonga, a subculture of women that she has described as "a lifestyle and a reminder of who I am and where I come from" and as an aesthetic defined by hoop earrings, lip liner, nameplates, and Chinese slippers.
"[4] Other influences for La Goony Chonga include Jennifer Lopez, Trina, Selena, Pitbull, and Celia Cruz.
