ABOUT

Bio: YÀNJÚ is a vocalist & songwriter from Gaithersburg, Maryland (based in Washington D.C.). Their work explores and wrestles with the disparity between the liminal fluidity of the human experience and the static “tyranny of should” coined by psychoanalyst, Karen Horney. Drawing heavily from their stint as a student of classical music, their fascination with mythology and various Black musical traditions, YÀNJÚ conjures up an ephemeral, post-binary cosmos where one’s most authentic self can be fully realized. Once immersed, the listener finds themselves betwixt and between, neither here nor there. When asked “what kind of music do you make?” YÀNJÚ answers “Post-binary! Trans-genre!”
