Artist
Marcela “Be Uniq” Carbajal
A Newark-born and Brooklyn-Bred hip-hop and R&B artist, Uniq Being has set herself apart with a sound that intricately mingles hip-hop, R&B, and grunge soul with rhythmic synths and a personally poetic songwriting style for over a decade. Working previously with one of NYC’s largest art and hip-hop events, TheNYCGrind, since 2017 Uniq Being has established herself as a force in singing, songwriting, producing, and live engineering. In summer 2017, she headlined TheNYCCGrind’s summer concert series, Art Bash. That same year she released her first independently financed project “Features,” a creative project aimed at creating a conversation with her listeners about the U.S.’s political climate, exploring topics including police brutality and the election. Further establishing herself as a voice for the people, Uniq released the collaborative project like “Elegance through Poverty”— a debut mixtape produced with her former rap collective, Sounds Like Graffiti. She’s taken her soulful sound and flow abroad, touring throughout Berlin, Germany. Uniq is currently working on a forthcoming EP set to be released in 2023. The single Clementine (yeah yeah) is currently available to stream on all platforms.
