For Yonatan “Yonny” Daniel, it goes way deeper than the music. It’s in his DNA. Proudly repping Seattle, the rising rapper/songwriter is hitting his stride in record time

From early projects like Ghetto Sunset and "SK[I]NCARE" with Oble Reed he’s leading a movement built on vision, solid ground, and love for his city

His work in elevating Seattle’s rich culture in real time serves as proof. From his Sounders FC x HOMETEAM campaign with Ken Griffey Jr. to sets at Wonderfront Fest and features on Ebro Show plus On The Radar, Yonny is kind of a big deal
