[RECAP VIDEO] Youni Fest SXSW 2023 Today marks the last day of our Lens content series and to close it out we are posting this recap video exclusively on Lenstube! This was a really great experience. To be able to pay artists to perform, stream live in the metaverse and get several different sponsorships that made this event a huge success. The intimacy of communication, learning, and of course music, made for a unique and inviting ecosystem. Each musician brought completely different sounds and it's our goal to continue to create events that fully encompass the city we are in, and the local musicians in it. There is so much to learn and so many more areas to grow in. Special thanks to the YouniDAO team who made this happen. @vakws.lens @igobylc.lens DUCK, @brenna.lens @saikochild.lens Please be sure to give YouniDAO a follow on Twitter @younidao ! Upcoming events: 5/6/23 - ATL Open Mic (Message @vakws.lens for more details!) June-July - Chicago Album Listening Party & Open Mic by Richmond COMING SOON!
We have our SXSW recap videos coming soon! 👀🍩

`[FREE COLLECT] THAT'S A WRAP! SXSW 23' - YOUNI FEST MINI` There is so much to be expressed about our SXSW event this year. So many great performances, so many wonderful people showed up. The metaverse experience in **Spatial** hit trending at one point during the live, all 75 Donuts were gone, 3 Flash Tattoos, many connections and conversations💜 This is just the beginning of what **YouniDAO** seeks to offer local musicians and the web3 music ecosystem. Walking away from this experience, we feel a great sense of possibility in the form of collaborations and partnerships moving forward. This next week we are making plans to roll out SXSW content exclusively on Lens during the month of **April** so we can walk each of you through the experience as if you were there yourself! Concluding this content grant with **Lens** we hope to continue to provide value as we step into even more sponsorship opportunities so we can continue this mission of supporting local musicians and helping to bridge this gap between the URL & IRL experiences. Who Got Tattoos? @yunice.lens @roundpotatocat.lens @maxpretends.lens
~ Introducing **ABOUT YOU** ~ I made a right off the country highway and pulled into the driveway of a one level red brick house with weathered forest green shutters and blooming dandelions sprinkled among the lawn. I closed the door to my car, looked up at the rusty dusk sky and began walking towards the garage where I heard a red light green light of instruments playing with burning passion and pensive angst. There was a warmth radiating from the stage—not just the flame from the 55 gallon barrels fueled by the local newspapers—but from the billowing harmony of instruments sonically foxtrotting on stage. My ears registered the sound as “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” spread over a 78 strategically started and stopped by an orchestra conductor who just parachuted in from a retreat at Yosemite National Park. …And this is just what I envisioned as I closed my eyes and listened to *About You’s* single “MoNa.” Now I must say, the music *About You* creates is electromagnetic and worth many listens many times over. Don’t miss the opportunity to listen to *About You* live at Youni Fest SXSW! You’ll be transported to a unique place if you come ready to experience the music fully. This has been brought to you by @younidao.lens and @lensprotocol. Stay tuned for more genuine art by ingenious artists... Design by @saikochild.lens
`FREE COLLECT - SXSW 23' ARTIST HIGHLIGHT` TODAY IS THE DAY! 🍩 DONUTS UNITE! I'm excited to introduce @brenna as the closing act of this years Youni Fest at SXSW! Just this morning there have been several turn of events - not in the favor of the most 'ideal' outcome... There always seems to be a necessary redirection that comes along when event organizing & planning. You can only prepare so much at the end of the day. The greatest knowing is being aware that it is all remedied by the act of expression. The art of creation. I'm beyond words for the performing acts at Youni Fest tonight - it's going to be an environment to behold. Come pop out and share your awareness around the Web3 music space or delve further into your journey. Much love, Donutheads! 🍩

'FREE COLLECT SXSW 23' - Artist Highlight (Rileyann) 2 Days Til YOUNI FEST SXSW!! Rileyann, an ATX native folk singer/songwriter coming thru @YouniDAO.lens with amazing guitar artistry! Hitting a lot of stages at SXSW but we're lucky to get one of those spots to experience the vibes! The 16th is right around the corner 👀 https://www.instagram.com/rileyannmusic/
~ Introducing **KIYDRAH** ~ Imagine driving around Texas, late at night in a 5 seater, listening to hypnotic basslines riddled with arboreal echoes.. or briskly two stepping through a metropolis subway station with a 5 gallon bucket drumkit clacking in the corner matching your heart rate as you maneuver to the train.. all drizzled with silky reassuring syllables.. yeah, that's Kiydrah. Listening to tracks like STAY UP you'll notice melodic waterfalls cascading down chiseled empowering shoals accompanied by lyricism that is jovial and calculated, buoyant and determined. Or watching the music video for POURRIN you'll truly understand how Kiydrah embraces the journey of life--the hail, the wind, the meadows, the cliffs, the rock falls, the sunshine.. I hope you join @younidao.lens and @lensprotocol at SXSW on March 16th from 8pm to 12am, and introduce yourself to Kiydrah and stay to listen to her performance. And while at the show, ask about purchasing some *AWKWARD* merchandise. *AWKWARD* is Kiydrah's brand focused on encouraging those willing to stand up and stand out, unabashedly, in their uniqueness and identity. Follow @younidao.lens for updates regarding the gathering that is Youni Fest.
