Witty Youngman’s new single "Forget-Her-Not" is an outstanding example of music hitting at the heart of a burning social issue. The song deals with the distressing subject of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
In this episode of Amplify Alaska, Anchorage based Witty and Lisa Hawkins discuss how music creation and performance build community and connection. The connection can sometimes be complicated when the conversation is difficult…
The episode also reveals how Witty, a descendant of King Island Inupiat and an enrolled member of the Fort Peck Dakota tribe, embraces the digital world, in order to be in business as a professional musician.
Witty's EP, Forget-Her-Not, is nearing completion. The titular song, is available now on Bandcamp. You can find out what Witty's up to by visiting their website, badfishruca.com.
