YONIRO

Born in Milan in 1994, living between Italy and Australia, Yoniro began studying dance at the age of 6 in a journey that ended at 21. At 8, she studied the piano, graduating in Music Theory and Solfeggio with top marks. However, she soon abandoned it to focus on dance, an art that continues to influence her musical project.

During her university years in Turin, she became increasingly involved in hip-hop culture, learning scratching and DJing on vinyl. At 23, she started studying singing and songwriting with professionals such as Giuseppe Anastasi and Alfredo Rapetti, beginning her journey as a singer-songwriter independently.

In 2019, she caught the attention of Max Moroldo (Do It Yourself; Baby Angel Music - producer of "Freed from Desire" and one of the most important publishers in Italy), who decided to produce her first album, "La Ragazza della Luna," and distribute it with Island Records.

The album was released on January 24, 2020, and by the end of 2020, she released her new independent single, "Bambina Bambolina." For the visual part, she collaborated with the renowned Australian photographer specializing in female nudity, Meiji Nguyen, and with Nusi Quero, a 3D creator.

"Bambina Bambolina" is a feminist manifesto and an attack on patriarchy. The single quickly caught the attention of Michele Monina. She then released the Spanish version of the same song, working on the visuals with Giusy Amoroso. The collaboration with Giusy Amoroso continued with the music video "La Muerte," shot in Australian forests and deserts with an international team scattered around the world.

In the meantime, she gained the attention of major online magazines such as Dazed and Gasttfashion. Meanwhile, she evolved her production skills and sound exploration to better accompany a world that does not fit into any of the labels proposed by the market. Yoniro teamed up with Salvatore Versace, entrusting him entirely with her sound.

The language used now is English; her connection with Australia has radically changed her. Starting from "Bambina Bambolina," her audience is mainly foreign. The defined shift in production certainly comes from "Lento Violento," her first work with Versace. At the end of 2022, she released "Ax6+Au," a single accompanied by the first music video in Italy developed through artificial intelligence, followed by "Alien Hoe," a track that introduces the discourse on spirituality, later revisited in the EP "H e a v e n s."

"Although no longer as explicit as in 'Bambina Bambolina,' my discourse on the female body and my battle against patriarchy continues by proposing a female figure free to show herself without hesitation. On the contrary, with the clear idea of showing this contrast to oppose labels on femininity, my production delves deeper into concepts and themes, which remain powerful and supported by continuous research." – Yoniro

Between March and April 2023, Yoniro released the singles "The Island" and "Secret Codes," anticipating, along with "Oh Boy" and "Paradise," the first EP "H e a v e n s," set to be released on Friday, November 17, 2017.
