DYNESTI WILLIAMS
Dynesti Williams inspires people to reconnect to their higher selves through bold and unapologetic live performances, lyrics, videos, and sonic experiences. She is known as a fierce entertainer from Toronto ON, Canada with a contagious energy that can raise the vibration of any space she performs in. Nicknamed The Dyna for delivering energy like food for the soul, Dynesti Williams invites you to feast on the balance of unity and chaos through theflavor she describes as Rebellious Hip-Hop/oul with a "dash" of Reggae.
Being of half Jamaican and half Trinidadian heritage, Dynesti was constantly surrounded by Caribbean music. She began singing and songwriting at the age of eight singing reggae gospel in church. Growing up in a low-income community housing area in Toronto's west end, her experiences offered painfully beautiful inspiration for her art. As a child, her mother was diagnosed with a severe case of depression altering Dynesti’s understanding of happiness. Her mother’s condition motivated her to find joy in adding more entertainment, healing, wit and laughter to the world.
“This world, and all of the people in it, are f**ked up, but they are beautiful. Everyone and everything is beautifully f**ked up. That contrast is art. That art is what I make music about.”
- Dynesti Williams
This contrast is embodied by her reggae-influenced jazzy singing, and tough-love rap flow. She has been compared to a dynamic range of artists from Missy Elliott and Lauryn Hill, to Busta Rhymes and KRS-One as she treats songs like various food dishes for her audience, validating The Dyna.
Dynesti Williams is currently working on her first full-length project with Dat Gas Music Entertainment in The Bronx, NY. The project, entitled “The Dyna” will be released in 2018.
