Why limit ourselves to 'genre's' when GOOD music can come from anywhere, any time period, and anyone?
I am Yasna, and I am a multi-disciplinary artist and composer. I am a Japanese (日本人) and Afro-Caribbean (Trinidad/Tobago + Surinam) woman who grew up in a loving, hardworking immigrant household. As a person who belongs to so many communities and having an interdisciplinary skillset through various mediums + industries, I believe my strength is my authenticity, empathy, and ability to story tell/communicate. I am very passionate about bringing non-traditional stories to life through an authentic and unique lens.
Most recently, a film I scored, “Many Thousands Lost” by Jehan Patterson was nominated for a BAFTA. I scored Kiana Khansmith’s animation short, “Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want To Be A Magical Girl,” which hit 3 Million views on Youtube. My work has been featured at the San Jose Museum of Art as a part of David Kelley and Patty Chang’s “Beta Exhibit” from November 2024 toMay 2025. Our film “Stray Dogs” was shown in Dakar, Senegal at the Africa-Asia, A New Axis of Knowledge 3, a Conference Festival in June and will be preformed as a live performance at the LACMA in the Fall. My concert Euphonium and piano commission for Arisa Makita has been preformed in Spain and set to be played in LA and Japan.
My scores have been featured in Sundance, The Museum of San Jose's "The Beta" Exhibit, The New Yorker, Converse, Issa Rae’s Color Creative initiative, Sherman Oaks, AspireTV, BAFTA, and Columbia University's Film Festival. As an artist and creator I have been featured by Nike, VICE, Meta, ULTA Beauty, McKinsey, LinkedIn.
