About Wasiu
Wasiu never felt like he truly fit in. Born and raised in Montréal, Québec, the 24-year-old has endured marginalization in nearly every aspect of his life—family, race, education, class—that has, in effect, enhanced his ability to interpret the universal themes of the world around him, and infuse them into forward-thinking narratives for the everyday human.
“Where I grew up made it so I’m able to understand things or view things from a lot of different perspectives,” says Wasiu, who raps with the dexterous singsong cadence of Mos Def and the cultural omniscience of Nas. “Anyone or anything that was around me, I took it and made it a part of my personality.”
About YMIR
Coming from a place of curiosity, he stumbles on Apashe’s Uebok Remix Competition. Being his 2nd remix competition he’s ever tried, he goes into it expecting nothing more than experience and practice, but when Apashe announced him as a winner, getting his remix in his compilation album, and on top of that, Collaborating an original track together (Never Change), then you know something special is going on here.
YMIR, a Producer/Singer, started this project with one goal in mind: To merge all his musical loves together. Harnessing his musical prowess in Alternative Rock, Dark Pop, and Electronic Music he creates a unique Vocal-Fronted style that borders between beautiful and destructive. His urges to bring distorted synths or searing strings around his haunting, yet powerful voice, allows him the flexibility to create somber ballads, and aggressive bangers or anything in between, all the while maintaining musical self sufficiency.
YMIR is shrouded in mystery, but despite his anonymity, he wears his heart on his sleeve while amassing a strong, ever growing, community around his music and his open character. YMIR is committed to creating a healthy environment for his fans within and around his Discord server, Instagram messages and comments, and Youtube comment sections. As he moves towards developing a stronger presence in the scene, he plans to introduce new ways to engage with his audience and new ways to stand out musically.
