YOU'RE (pl.) is a genre bending project based in Brooklyn, NY, lead by YOU'RE (singular.)
YOU'RE is an ethnomusicologist by trade who creates art that reflects the cultures around her and the part history plays in molding our futures. Her work is experimental in nature, blending influences from folk, jazz, ambient, dark indie, noise, afro-futurism, and more.
After spending years as a vocalist and composer, YOU'RE ventured into interdisciplinary work, often performing with accompanying visual art or movement artists.
With interdisciplinary performance pieces that have been performed in London (Tate Modern), New Orleans, Montreal, and at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity as an artist-in-residence, YOU'RE is always looking to blur the lines of art for the sake of fully exploring a perspective in all its glory.
YOU'RE's desire to self-reflect through different perspectives comes from her Soulaani roots, whose traditions she uses throughout her work. These traditions taught her that we don’t exist to understand and serve only an individual self, but rather try to understand and love all that exists as one collective self. She strives to use her art to communicate this while highlighting the breadth, complexity, and richness of the Soulaani culture itself, and its living relationship to the diaspora.
