FACE THA MUZIK MASTERMINDS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
YOUNI-T (NICOLE JONJAK)
PRESIDENT/FOUNDER
YOUNI-T is a TRAILBLAZING INTERNATIONAL PERFORMING ARTIST, VOCALIST, SONGWRITER, and TEACHING ARTIST. She is also certified in Music Education K-12, and an expert at working with "at-risk" youth and young adults in underserved and overlooked communities across the country, and the world.
Born in Wisconsin, and singing every mainstream genre from the age of 5, Nicole developed not only her voice, but a relentless passion for using the power of music to unify and change the world. Because of this, Nicole became an original artist and adopted the name UNITY- but she spells it "YOUNI-T."
YOUNI-T taught music in Kenya, Africa, and in America. She also invented music based curriculums to teach Core class content in English, Reading and Social Studies to some of the toughest, most reluctant learners in inner city schools in Indiana, Wisconsin, and Miami.
YOUNI-T then tackled the music industry as an original artist and became the FIRST and ONLY ALL AMERICAN SOCA ARTIST on the planet and invented her own YOUNIVERSEL PULSE by expanding the genre and share her unique sound with the world.
In 2016, YOUNI-T invented "FACE THA MUZIK" as a vessel to reach the unreachable, and showcase the invisible. Its purpose is to give those who are passionate about music a SAFE, SOBER, and SUPPORTIVE space to discover their purpose, strengthen their talents, and believe in their worth, while learning invaluable skills needed to obtain LEGAL, RESPECTABLE, and LUCRATIVE employment within the music industry.
YOUNI-T is a MASTERMIND that has proudly served African American, Native American, Latin American, and Caribbean American communities. She continues to use her VOICE, ORIGINAL MUSIC, and FACE THA MUZIK to reinforce the message that LOVE and MUSIC are COLORBLIND, EMBRACE ALL CULTURES, and INCOME BRACKETS!
