AWFBEAT, the musical duo consisting of Uni Hunte and Grant Glazier, has made quite a name for themselves over the past few years and, with the announcement of them joining this year’s Governors Ball, we expect 2023 to be a breakout year for them.

The two artists, originally from Harlem and Washington D.C. respectively, met at Carnegie Mellon University and formed the group in 2018. Since then, they’ve released a number of tracks and have become one of the most popular up-and-coming acts in the music industry.

Their unique sound, which blends elements of pop, hip-hop, and R&B, has earned them a loyal following and numerous accolades. Hunte’s thought-provoking lyrics and Glazier’s innovative production techniques have made AWFBEAT one of the most exciting acts in the music scene. The duo’s natural chemistry shines through in their music, and their live performances are nothing short of electrifying.

AWFBEAT released “Trinity” on Oct 30, 2020, describing it as a fusion of their varying experiences with religion and spirituality. To quote, they referred to it being a “dope ass song” that transports listeners into their world through vulnerability and storytelling.

Over the past few years, AWFBEAT has toured extensively, performing at festivals and venues across the country. As AWFBEAT continue to evolve and grow, it’s clear that they are poised for even greater success in the future.

With their catchy sound, captivating live performances, and commitment to their craft, AWFBEAT are a force to be reckoned with. Whether you’re a fan of pop, hip-hop, or R&B, there’s something for everyone in their music.

AWFBEAT are scheduled to perform at Governors Ball, New York, on June 9th, 2023.
