Teguluku / Take It - Byron Nicholai
I want to thank everyone that helped make this music video happen. I also want to give a big thank you to Emiilinguaq Olsen for filming this video. And also thank you to Qooqqut Festival for having me and for the memories that I made with the friends I gained.
Whenever I write my songs, the lyrics sometimes surround a theme or topic. The main message in this song is about Unity and Self Belief. It's very important to come together when trying to make a change in a community. One person alone can't make it happen. When a goal that everyone want to aim for is made, we all work together to make it happen. It's what brings us together and it's what makes a community stronger. And for self belief, I think it's important that you believe in your own abilities as a person so much that it gives you confidence to go after anything you want to achieve. No matter the consequences. Believing in yourself so much that you're okay with not getting everything you aim for because we can't get them all. Self belief varies because it's not just about confidence. Believe in yourself that it doesn't stop you from turning dreams into regrets.
Quyana cakneq tamarpeci! Thank you so much, all of you!! Ernerpak ata ilaten kenkurluki pikina. Be loving and compassionate with those around you.

Going Where They're Dancing/Yagiralrianun Ayakatartua - Byron Nicholai
มุมมอง 1.7K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Spend the last year trying to figure out what I truly want for myself. Basically just going through life. Experiencing the beauty and the obstacles life throws our way. • With these years flying by, I'm now at the age where the younger me wondered about. We're all given one life. I always had these goals of where I wished to be in life at certain ages. I felt like I was stuck in a spot that I'v...

Qanaaqa Usviinak (Talk Stupid) • Been tapping into different mindsets for new songs. I have playlists for several moods and I create songs based off how I feel. One minute I’m singing about love then the next minute I’m talking like this. It ain’t even aimed at anyone. • Qanaaqa Usviinak (Talk Stupid) #QanaaqaUsviinak #TalkStupid #yugtun #Ukila
Yuraq song from Nightmute by Anna Agnus - Ayagatnauramken
มุมมอง 7785 หลายเดือนก่อน
Where I’m from they have these annual dance festivals during winter. “Yurarrpak” is what it’s called. I believe it means “big dance” festival. • There are five communities on Nelson Island that get together for a weekend to yuraq. “Yuraq” means to drum dance if you didn’t know. After a weekend of dancing, the five communities move onto the next and that goes on until you’ve gotten to all five. ...
Yuraq song by Moses Charles - Cauyamaqa Ayagataanga/My Drum Takes Me Places
มุมมอง 7445 หลายเดือนก่อน
There’s a handful of songs that stuck with me from when I was in the Nelson Island dance group. A good percentage of them were made by my late cousin, Moses Charles, the best yuraq song maker. This one’s one of them. • When I first started practicing with the dance group there were 3 drummers total with Moses being the drum leader. Then I joined at 11 years old while the rest were between 16-18...

มุมมอง 43K2 ปีที่แล้ว
We flew to Toksook Bay to shoot this music video and I could say I’ve achieved two of my goals. • One of them was to make a music video for one of my songs and the other was to have a show in the community I grew up in. • My family and friends came out to show support and all I could feel at that time was thankful. I was reminded of why and where I want to take this. • Quyana to Grant Aviation ...

Hi Byron
How did Apple Music recommend this to me? I love it!
😭🤣🤣
is so cool
Quyana 😊
Song name?
For me it's not the lyrics he his saying it's the language he rapping in sounds badass.
I hate that I had to move close to these gusuks
Is there a chance you can add the lyrics in Yup'ik. I'm going to teach myself Yup'ik by listening to your songs and I'm a little deaf and having the lyrics in English and Yup'ik would be so helpful. Either way I'd like to send money for your music, can you help me
BigMergMent 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 shouts from America
Lmao nice shot!
Such an impressive work, thank you Byron!
I learned about you from my cousin how many years ago. Loved it ever since!! Your work is inspiring
This may be asking too much, but I wonder if it is possible to do an introduction of "Teguluku / Take It"? Introduce youself, and share a little bit about what the song means to you, maybe share who the people are and their significance to this video. Not their names, unless they're ok with it. I will use it to air right before your video airs on TV. I appreciate your work.
Hi Byron, I love this video. I would like to air it on The Venue. Please let me know if that is ok.
