YOUNG ATHENA unleashes her infectious new cut "BESTIE SHAKE"
A playful number bursting with woozy basslines and sharp percussive textures, the commanding sound waves quickly set pace for Young Athena’s effortless vocal range balancing rapid-fire rap schemes and sweet R&B melodies. She reminisces on the unforgettable memories made with her closest friends and the powerful connections that have become a driving force in her creative and ethereal journey. Manoeuvring through love, lust, heartbreak and growth with affiliates surrounding her, “Bestie Shake” feels like a pivotal moment for an exciting new voice celebrating the rhythm of life across the UK landscape.
Young Athena's exposure to a wide range of musical genres from a young age can be attributed to her upbringing in London. Her mother, an Opera singer, and her father, a rapper, played key roles in shaping her musical journey, along with inspirations from inner city life - including social issues, teenage love, coming-of-age experiences, internet culture, and personal self-discovery.
Notable achievements include becoming a Mastercard UK Ambassador through their Artist Accelerator program, which led to a performance on Billboard's YouTube Channel and a performance at the AIG Women's Golf Open. Her music has been featured on BBC Introducing, which later earned a key interview on BBC Radio London and many other UK stations. She has also graced the stages of London Fashion Week's House of Ikons and made her international debut at the New Skool Rules Music Festival in Rotterdam.
