YLWFRND(Yellowfriend) is a dj,producer, audio Engineering and artist. Music has been a big part of his life since he was a child and he was exposed to jazz, blues, rock, electronica, techno, muzak and house music through his parents. He started his career, at the age of 15, as a dj playing in clubs and bars in his hometown Gothenburg. After a couple of years, at the age of 17, he started to produce his own music,mainly experimental hip hop, and he quickly realized that producing music was his thing. He released his first EP through Shash Records, who later signed him to their rooster. His first full length album, Manu, was released in June as a Bandcamp exclusive and will be released on all digital platforms in September. Ylwfrnd quickly realized that djing wasn’t enough to express his music and slowly started working on a live performance. His production has shifted from boom bap to experimental and now its up to the listener to put a genre on his music. In a interview where the journalist asked the question: “what genre would you say your music fits in?” He responded: “I just create music that I think sounds good and I have never really thought about what genre it is. Listen to my music and decide for your self”. Ylwfrnd is working on some new music and even some remixes for hip hop and techno producers. His creativity takes his music to different places but one thing is for sure. Whatever comes next will surprise you.
