Viliani
On Producer Spotlight this month BeatBay presents: Viliani – an Australian Emcee/Producer who is heavily influenced by art as a means of expression. Originally from Canberra but now residing in Melbourne, Vili has been expressing herself through music & art for over 10 years, as well as writing poetry since her early teens. After being introduced to the local hip hop scene in Canberra she was heavily influenced by friends who were writing lyrics and making beats. It wasn’t long until Vili turned her poetry into raps and dropped her first single “At Ease” in 2015. She has since released a full length album titled “The Burial” which will take you through her personal journeys of self reflection and introspection. Vili is vulnerable to her audience as her music is deeply reflective, fiery, raw, honest and personal.
Musically Vili is inspired by a multitude of sounds and genres such as boom bap, grime, metal, drum and bass and hard dance. Artists such as MC Layla, Ed Scissor, Rhyme Asylum, Korn & Tool are just some musicians who have influenced her diverse sound. It is how Viliani draws from all the elements of her past experiences, her creative personality and her individual style which separates her from any other emcee.
She began to focus and channel her creative energy into making beats in 2019. Her signature sound is emotional & eclectic, creating ambient brooding melodies with earthy tones, haunting vocals, industrial synths & percussion with heavy kicks and bass lines building unique sounds to envelop the listener. She is currently working on projects with dual production by Ciecmate & Viliani release date tba, Vili is also preparing on releasing a new self produced solo project in 2022.
