Hailing from Nêhiyāw & Chiléan bloodlines, Yellowsky (Born Roberto Andrés Pooyak) is arguably one of the most prominent, important Indigenous recording artists rocking in Canada at any given time. Performing across the country since 2008, The Mad Lion is the 1st Indigenous Reggae artist in Canada. There's a real rebellious nature that fuels Yellowsky's music. “I was raised by residential school survivors – my late mom, all my aunties, uncles. That's where I get my turbulence from." Although learning his background more as he grew, he would rise fatherless. His dad was one of many who retreated from the grip of South American dictator, Agusto Pinochet, during the 80's in Chilé. "This isn't JUST music,” remarks The Cool Fire on his unruly nature. As a former affiliate, addict & inmate, Yellowsky has gained his status within the streets through his most hardest times. A sequence breaker of intergenerational trauma, he rose past the limits, becoming a measure of inspiration along the way. His first album, "Mixed Medicine," earned a 'Best New Artist' nomination at the 2018 Indigenous Music Awards and the 'Best Indigenous Artist' nomination at the Saskatchewan Music Awards the same year without any major marketing. After a 5 year hiatus, the veteran returned in 2022 on The Steadies' recent album, "Triketra" and with 2023's single "Redemption Point." He's currently developing his next works in 2024 as he moves forward into a new era. www.therealyellowsky.com
