Draft:YAŦSU

Yatsu (Yatsu Knee (/jatjsɔ ni/; /ヤツ/ Brazil, March 28, 1996), better known as YAŦSU, is a Brazilian musician, singer, songwriter and music producer. Knee started his career rapping on soundcloud, when (by his friend's advice) decided to switch to electronic music. Together with his group he founded Vupture records, so he could release his first single "Man don't cry". The artist, with his small budget then decided, after two more releases ("Another love", and "Where did you go?"), to make a compilation of all his unreleased "Phonks" and "dropped" the album "Adeus dusty tapes", as the name itself shows, is his farewell to the genre, although he was never a producer of the traditional Memphis style.

After a discussion with some members of the record label, who didn't want him to leave his older phonk roots, the team and its members decided to "reorganize" the group, "kicking out" two of its members. These members, according to the record company, surrendered to the phonk trend and decided to create their own record label where they have exclusively released mashup songs of carioca funk and phonk.

On February 27, 2023, after a series of publications on his YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok pages, Yatsu decided to take a break from social media, according to his closest friends he always had health problems, related to his bipolar disorder and his constant isolation from his own friends, episodes that are reported by few close friends who still manage to hear from the artist.
