Wake up kids…it’s time to get schooled on the hottest new name in house music - meet Christian Rivera-Joaquin, better known as, Wakyin. 

Wakyin’s keen ear for music and grooves can likely be attributed to his Dominican and Puerto Rican roots. Wakyin has seamlessly incorporated his heritage into his electronic music. 

Not only does Wakyin perfectly blend his roots into his music, but he has also mastered mixing genres we all know and love. 

Wakyin has truly taken house music to the next level, which we did not deem possible. Don't believe us? Well, just give his music a listen. His most recent remix of Miguel’s famous “Girl With The Tattoo” has us in a complete chokehold. The iconic voice and lyrics of Miguel layered with Wakyin’s delectable ear for an intoxicating beat are the perfect combination for us house music lovers - especially those who also appreciate a great sing-along. 

Beyond the fusing of genres, Wakyin has an even more unique component to his music. Wakyin has beautifully embedded emotion into his music. Want to feel what we mean? Listen to his track “Sonder” and you will quickly understand. 

Wakyin truly stands as a testament to how transformative the electronic/house music scene is. His music transcends the borders that we know and even further, his music presents us something new and tasteful that we simply cannot get enough of. 

For those who are still unfamiliar with Wakyin, consider yourself schooled. For those who want a better taste of how incredible Wakyin’s sets are, check out his live recording from a recent set at Jolene Sound Room in Miami, FL.

Wakyin has just announced that he will be performing at Orlando’s upcoming EDC this November. Wakyin’s career is taking off extremely quick, so we recommend getting on the band wagon as soon as possible.
