Wasani
Fueled by a passion for conscious hip-hop, I began writing and recording my own original lyrics at 14 to share with classmates. By the age of 17, my confidence soared after a few thrilling performances in front of thousands at a local venue. Determined to pursue music full-time I moved to Los Angeles at 18. A year later, collaborating with Wiz Khalifa's record label Taylor Gang Entertaintment. wasn't just a dream come true, it was a major step towards my goal of becoming a professional musician. My lyrical styles blend early influences of reggae, dancehall, 90’s hip hop, and the energy of modern day EDM festivals with the psychedelic, surf and skate, hippie culture of Southern California. My live shows are a fusion of classic hip-hop lyrics, wild jungle bass beats, and tribal dancing energy, all infused with a message of self-love, freedom of expression, and positivity. Driven by a desire for creative freedom, I launched WE ARE WHOA in 2015. This has allowed me to grow a global audience, with fans in over 50 countries, and remain independent from the control of major record labels.
