Yasmin Williams recently enchanted the audience with a mesmerizing Tiny Desk concert where she showcased her extraordinary fingerstyle guitar skills. With a unique approach to playing the guitar face-up on her lap, she creates harmonious soundscapes akin to playing a piano. The concert featured notable songs like "Hummingbird" and "Sisters," where she incorporated a mix of instruments to enhance the storytelling in her music.

Williams, born in 1997 in northern Virginia, discovered her passion for guitar after playing Guitar Hero 2. Graduating from NYU with a degree in music theory and composition, she has since released albums like "Unwind" and "Urban Driftwood," incorporating non-western instruments like the kalimba. Her latest album, "Acadia," released in 2024, delves into themes influenced by the Black Lives Matter protests.

Known for her inventive style and ability to create intricate compositions, Williams continues to captivate listeners with her exceptional talent and unique musical approach. Her Tiny Desk concert served as a glimpse into her world of storytelling through music, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the privilege to witness her performance.
