Von Vuai is a producer and drummer from the Westside of Chicago, and from the sounds of his production, his time is near. A member of the Chvrch crew, with fellow rising artist St. Millie, Von produced ½ of Millie’s debut effort No Religion But Up, an underground success that catapulted Millie into the lens of the Chicago music scene. With a beat tape titled Stank on the way, Von’s airy, futuristic and melodic production will likely have the chance to make its way into the right person’s ears.
A full-time student at Columbia College, Von is balancing homework and class schedules with all night sessions and finding the right creative space. He has had good teachers both in and out of the classroom, another up and comer under the guidance of The Gift. “Gift is my homie he has been a lot like a big brother and mentor to me. I’ve been able to learn a lot while working with him, more than he even knows.” Von remarks about The Gift, who is an in-house producer for Rockie Fresh, and frequent collaborator with many in the Chicago Hip Hop scene.
From his background behind the drums, to his aspirations of diving into the fashion world, Von’s creative peak as yet to be reached. It will be only up from here as Von continues to grow as an artist of many trades. We take a look at the ascent in the latest AEMMP Hip Hop producer spotlight.
