Yasmin Williams, raised in Woodbridge, Virginia, grew up surrounded by music. Inspired by a wide range of artists – from Chuck Brown to Jimi Hendrix – she began developing her innovative fingerstyle acoustic guitar technique while studying music theory and composition at NYU. Williams has released two previous albums, Unwind (2018) and Urban Driftwood (2021), in which she introduced unique approaches, such as playing kalimba and guitar simultaneously. She also incorporates instruments such as the kora, harp guitar and banjo. Despite her use of folk instruments, she refuses to be categorised in this genre, preferring creative freedom to conformity. Her latest album, Acadia, has just been released by Nonesuch Records.
