Bio:
Being black in electronic music presents all kinds of challenges, mostly of a political nature, but Yuni Wa has navigated through the industry with a deft touch, propelled by his work ethic and unique approach to the craft: inspired by J Dilla versus Diplo. He has more albums out than most of the artists that you can think of across any genre, and yet he’s still hungry to progress to the next level of his career and continue the grind. His mercurial work ethic makes him one of the most exciting new black musicians that you can find — one driven by the struggles of standing out in an industry that doesn’t always want the oppressed to succeed.
Yuni Wa, in broad terms, is an electronic musician from Little Rock, AR that, for the duration of his career, has been focused on creating “a whole new whirlpool of sounds” as he happily explains. He comes from a spiritual family: his grandfather was a preacher and he grew up in a Southern Baptist household. Being so spiritually intertwined, he spent years in the choir, picking up the essence of how chillingly beautiful that gospel music could be. He started to attend the Boys and Girls Club in his city and learned how to play music, picking up the guitars and drums.
By the time that he was 13 years old, Yuni Wa was ready to start releasing music. His earliest electronic recordings blend the extravagant nature of gospel with his early understanding of the genre that he would come to call his own. His first album, Wa, would come out after four years of finding his sound, in 2014. From there, he was hooked, beginning on a superhuman work schedule that followed with projects like 501x99, The Infinity Club LP, A Good Time, and ChillDays Vol1 all released that same year. It was a divine sign from above that he could work at this pace and continue to.
Success in the electronic industry came swiftly for Yuni Wa, even in the midst of some troubling times in high school. He got kicked out for truancy, while sick, and nearly went right to the prison pipeline. He ended up having to go to alternative school, and it’s here where he credits the music for kicking in and keeping him going through his trials and tribulations. He collaborated with producer Chris Travis when he was just 18 years old and has also done work for Cuz Lightyear, the rap protege of Killer Mike. While connecting with artists with larger platforms, he didn’t slack on his output: he released more albums than ever. By the time that he was 20 years old, Yuni Wa had 39 projects publicly available through Bandcamp, continuously unpacking your expectations of electronic music and repurposing the style from a black lens. His fanbase continued to have explosive growth as fans dug into the story that he spun without words.
