Biography
At 23-years-old, Wakai is a DIY aficionado with a preternatural natural talent for creating makeshift studios & recording anywhere he lays his hat. Emerging at the forefront of a bubbling new wave hip-hop community in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Wakai earns respect from those who inspire him while nurturing a compelling sound of his own. His 2022 debut 'To A Dark Boy' was a polished and personal introduction that featured an eclectic roster of talent, affording him more than just a local buzz and catapulting him into the ranks of hip-hop's most interesting newcomers. Growing up close to his family, the rapper found early inspiration from his fathers personal collection of music. Artists like OutKast, Erykah Badu & Earth, Wind & Fire laid an indelible imprint on Wakai's knack for songwriting, which became noticeable as he began tinkering with instruments as a child. Being accustomed to working with trained musicians and live bands has aided his presence in the industry as a versatile songster and performer. Garnering a buzz with his new releases from publications like Pitchfork, Lyrical Lemonade & earning a spot on Pigeons & Planes' Best New Artist has left anticipations high for the southern multihyphenate's 2023 sophomore album.
