HAWA
HUNDARI

The Beginning

Northern Virginia

Growing up in Northern Virginia, Hawa Hundari always dreamed big. Even in elementary school, he wanted to be a rapper. Fascinated by the skill and creativity of artists like Busta Rhymes and Eminem, he spent time studying and practicing their intricate rap flows. He enjoyed it so much that he would often encourage friends to join in, turning rap into a shared hobby and source of fun.

The Interruption · Age 12

Move to Texas

When he moved to Texas at twelve, he had to leave behind the friends he grew up with and start over in a completely new environment. Before the move, he and a few friends had formed a small rap group, spending their time writing lyrics, rapping, and imagining where it could lead. Once they went their separate ways, the group gradually faded, bringing that chapter to an end.

But the urge to create never left. Instead, it found new outlets. He became fascinated with YouTube, spending hours making videos, designing thumbnails, creating intros, and experimenting with ways to build his own identity online.

The Spark · High School

Recording & Music

During high school, Hawa Hundari met an independent artist in his city who introduced him to recording and mixing music. What had once been a childhood dream suddenly felt within reach. With a laptop and a microphone, he began creating and releasing music of his own, transforming years of inspiration into something tangible.
