Artist & producer p/k/a “YNIQ,” (an abbreviation for his first name “Yannique”) started making music when he was 16. Starting off with freestyling over popular hip-hop instrumentals, he quickly learned how to count bars & convert his handwritten notes of poetry into songs. Inspired by his father (who has previous experience in the music business), he & the family relocated to Miami after graduating high school. While there, YNIQ kept a close ear to the Miami music scene upon arriving while furthering his education at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles for film studies. Eventually, opportunities in music arose & YNIQ was privy to work with multi Grammy winner Poo Bear (Usher, Justin Bieber & more). Learning from an experienced songwriter such as Poo Bear, he was later introduced to one of the most successful producers at the time in Miami, Scott Storch. Here, YNIQ was able to observe both Poo & Storch as they recorded & produced talents such as Kelly Rowland, Busta Rhymes, Method Man, Jessica Simpson, to name a few. Receiving a first-hand education in songwriting & production, YNIQ later teamed with multi-Grammy winning DJ & producer Vinny Venditto & began taking steps into producing his own material after having watched some of the best in their respective element. Today, YNIQ has executive produced on over 4 multi-genre albums & published over 100 songs commercially. He currently holds the position of President at SoBe Entertainment, an independent record label based in South Beach, FL that is family owned & operated. Having not forgotten his passion for film, he presently oversees SoBe Films which is responsible for the development & delivery of music videos & promotional content for SoBe Entertainment & its artists. YNIQ is set to release his debut EP this coming Spring 2017 & is overseeing the A&R & management of SoBe Entertainment’s new rock superstar, Nick Brodeur. Please look out for YNIQ & his future projects coming soon…
