Early Life and Education

Growing up as an only child in a Chinese-Indonesian household, he was raised by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hue, with his mother working in fashion and his father working as a garment labourer.
He attended the prestigious British International School of Jakarta from Year 7 through his graduation. It was during his teenage school years that he began experimenting with sound and recording tracks in his bedroom, drawing deep inspiration from Western artists like Tyler, the Creator and Aminé.
His family raised him in a Christian environment where he developed a massive fascination with American hip-hop culture through the internet at a young age.
Career
Warren Hue officially started his music journey at just 14 years old, using SoundCloud to upload early remixes and alternative beats under his original moniker, warrenisyellow.
He quickly created a strong buzz in Jakarta’s local indie scene, dropping his independent debut project, Alien, in 2018. His bedroom production style and rapid-fire English flows caught the attention of 88rising executives, leading to an official record deal in late 2020.
He made his grand introduction to international audiences with the high-energy single “Omomo Punk” in early 2021, instantly earning critical praise and winning the NME Award for Best Song by an Asian Artist.
His musical footprint expanded exponentially when he collaborated with labelmates Rich Brian and NIKI on the hit anthem “California” and contributed several major tracks to the official Marvel Studios soundtrack for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
He followed up this massive momentum by releasing his highly anticipated studio debut album, Boy of the Year, in 2022, which led to a historic performance on the main stage at Coachella.
Beyond his studio projects, he has made waves in the high-fashion industry and has been honoured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list.
He continues to drop boundary-pushing music, establishing an incredible legacy as a premier voice for Southeast Asian hip-hop on the world stage.
