     Naomi Yanos is a Harlem native artist-songwriter-producer-audio engineer-rock cellist. Yanos’s music is inspired by surrealist art’s emphasis on unconscious associations coupled with the angst of their alternative songwriting heroes Mitski and Tori Amos. Their upcoming EP “Rock in the Forest” is an alternative rock response to their last experimental ambient EP “Trying to Keep My Toes.” Both deal with themes of dissociation and the desire to move past habits born of trauma. Yanos performs regularly in New York City at venues such as Gold Sounds, Wonderville, Heaven Can Wait, The Meadows BK, Bushwick Public House and has shared the stage with bands such as Pinc Louds and The Worst as well as playing a packed 200-cap room at Wesleyan University this fall. They also are a current student of NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded music at Tisch School of the Arts.​

     Yanos has been honing their performance skills since their preteen years touring the east coast singing rock and blues songs (with artists such as Jon Anderson (of Yes,) Donald Fagen (of Steely Dan,) and Gibby Haynes (of the Butthole Surfers)) and performing in New York City clubs and bars. By high school Yanos learned Ableton and Logic in order to have creative freedom over their sonics and has been producing ever since. Other than music, Yanos enjoys being an extra on film sets, photography, reading while riding the MTA bus service to the end of the line, dancing with friends, and 3D printing.​
