BEST KNOW FOR:

Wavy Spice recorded her first track, Destiny, in 2010, and released it on her SoundCloud and her YouTube channel in mid-2012. It was largely autobiographical and gained modest popularity. Subsequently, she released her second track, “Bitch I’m Posh”, a partially ironic anthem for Hollywood-loving hood girls.The track was picked up by Tumblr and she quickly gained international recognition. Spice’s second release, “YAYA”, demonstrated her ability as both a rapper and a singer. As explained in the song’s YouTube description, “‘Yaya’ is the Taino word for Great Spirit. This Song is dedicated to my Taino ancestry and indigenous upbringing.” The song questions normative perceptions of colonial history. The track, and her vocal support of queer, trans, womanhood and fem sexuality have gained her critical acclaim and support in the music world from other QTPOC rappers such as Mykki Blanco and Le1f. Five months later, Spice released “Wavy Spice Presents – THE BUTTERFLY KNIFE PREQUEL”. Two months after that, she released “Vicki Gotti,” a similar track. In another two months, she released “Versace Hottie”, a track similar to “Bitch I’m Posh” After watching Game of Thrones she “became obsessed with the chemistry between Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo,” and wrote “Dragons,” a love story with a corresponding music video, and both the song and the video mirror things from her own life, and favorite things. The collective Princess Nokia released their debut album of “high-tech fairy girl music,” Metallic Butterfly, May 12, 2014. “For the last year I’ve been staying very low-key, working on my craft. I want to create a new sound. I won’t stop until I have an impact.” The album was a collaborative effort between Destiny and OWWWLS. The album debuted on Vice’s website and SoundCloud. Vice described is as “…a little bit of everything—from African drums and weird jazzy melodies to electro-synths and hip-hop beats. […] But all of the disparate influences and styles blend perfectly, making this one of the most exciting and ambitious independently released albums to come out of the New York underground in a long time.” In 2015 Destiny released a new project titled “Honeysuckle”.
