BIOGRAPHY

Yuni Wa, born Princeton Coleman, emerged from the inner city of Little Rock, Arkansas, with a creative vision shaped by both his environment and the limitless possibilities of the internet. Growing up during the rise of online music culture in the late 2000s, he was deeply inspired by boundary pushing artists such as Flying Lotus and Daft Punk, influences that helped define his genre-blurring approach to music. Yuni Wa began releasing music in 2013 at just 15 years old, quickly establishing himself through an ambitious and constantly evolving catalog.

 

Since then, Yuni Wa has released more than 35 projects spanning EDM, electronica, hip-hop, lo-fi, jazz, and alternative music. Early releases such as Ethereal Lover, Data_Our Program Is Forever, and Context 2 became defining works in his discography, each surpassing one million streams worldwide and helping solidify his reputation as one of the most prolific ​m​usic artists emerging from the American South.

​

His momentum continued to grow throughout the 2020s. In 2021, Yuni Wa was ​invited to perform for Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Live series and was featured on the cover of the Amazon Breakthrough Electronic playlist. His work has also been recognized by publications including DJ Mag, The Fader, The 405, Audiomack​ World, and ​The Arkansas Times.

In 2022, Yuni Wa performed at Electronicon 3 in New York alongside artists including Washed Out, Neon Indian, George Clanton, and Skylar Spence. The following year, he appeared at FORMAT Festival in Bentonville, Arkansas, sharing the lineup with acts such as LCD Soundsystem, Little Simz, Jamie xx, and Sudan Archives.​ He received the award for Best Male EDM Artist at the 2025 Arkansas Music Awards.

​

Driven by experimentation, atmosphere, and emotional storytelling, Yuni Wa continues to carve out a lane entirely his own, blending futuristic ​a​nd retro production with deeply personal and cinematic themes while steadily building a legacy beyond genre limitations.
