Dominican-American artist YawnyBlew is the enigmatic brainchild of songwriter John Gonzalez. The Grammy nominated vocalist is known for his cinematic lyricism and crafting songs steeped in nostalgia, melancholy and irony; soundtracks to the version of New York he patch-worked as a queer teen between The Bronx, the studio and The Village.
“Dusk” is the first single from his debut “Midnight in Brooklyn”. The R&B/Pop record was Produced by Sean Hamilton (H.E.R "Hard Place", Jac Ross "Saved") and is an ode to lost love inspired by classic hip-hop and 60’s boy bands. The pair recorded the record in the home of Rodney Jerkins while working with him on the TV Series “Empire”
“Dusk” was used in a promotional campaign with urban lifestyle brand CONSIGNED for their line REVIVAL. It was also featured in Rock The Pigeon, QReview, The Art of Being Queer and Scene Magazine. A remix featuring Rhyan Besco, Rey of Jamesdavis and Acexxi dropped in May.
YawnyBlew’s songwriting has been featuring on FOX, HBO and SlayTV as well as covered in RollingStone, Billboard and Paper Magazine. In 2019 he scored his first Grammy nomination as a background vocalist on H.E.R’s “Hard Place” and is currently developing music with artists on Republic Records under Harold Lilly and Sean Hamilton.
