Yndi
Lush, liquid art-pop that bridges Parisian elegance with Brazilian rhythmic ghosts. Ethereal vocals floating over submerged electronic pulses for late-night dreaming.

Yndi (Yndi Ferreira) is a Franco-Brazilian artist who represents a sophisticated evolution of the bedroom-pop-to-art-pop pipeline. Originally gaining underground acclaim under the moniker Dream Koala, her early work was defined by ethereal, reverb-drenched guitar loops and downtempo electronic beats that resonated with the Tumblr-era aesthetic.
As she transitioned to releasing music under her own name, her sound identity shifted toward a more complex exploration of her dual heritage. Her 2021 debut Noir Brésil marked a significant turning point, incorporating Afro-Brazilian percussion and bossa nova sensibilities into a sleek, avant-pop framework. Critically, she is noted for her meticulous production, often utilizing 'liquid' textures and vocal stacking that recalls the work of artists like James Blake or FKA Twigs, but with a distinct Lusophone melodic influence. Her cultural position is that of a bridge-builder, connecting the French indie scene with a global, diasporic perspective. She remains a favorite among crate-diggers and fans of high-concept electronic pop for her ability to maintain emotional vulnerability within highly polished, synthetic environments.
