YUNGMIQU
Yungmiqu, aka Mihkku Laiti, is a Sámi rap artist from Utsjoki, whose genre-defying music has been playing all over the Nordic countries since 2019. He combines the sounds of fierce northern rap music with elements of electronic music in his music.
Despite his young age, Yungmiqu has already collaborated with Finland’s toughest Sámi artists, such as Ailu Valle, Amoc and Niillas Holmberg.
Laiti has come to the attention of the general public through numerous TV appearances and has starred in his own documentary. Yungmiqu has been doing shows not only in Finland but also in Norway, Sweden, Estonia and France.
Yungmiqu will release his second album Chapter on May 23. It is a personal and socially conscious body of work that explores themes such as the relationship between the North and the South, Sámi identity, the Sámi language, and the growth of a young artist. The album moves along the boundary between individual and collective experience, highlighting the realities of life within a minority culture and expressing pride in one’s roots.
