Born and raised in Hamilton, NZ, Yuki discovered music at a young age, which inspired him to leave school at 17 and travel to LA to pursue music. He spent most of 2018 in LA, working on Jaden Smith’s sophomore album ERYS (out in 2019) – including instrumentation for the track NOIZE featuring Tyler, the Creator – which led to impressive placement as the official intro to last year’s NBA Playoffs. Yuki returned to Hamilton in 2019, and has been working on building his debut album Be Free Yuki from the ground up since. Be Free represents Yuki’s growth as an individual and musician, through the extremely vulnerable lyrics and intricate instrumentation.
