Asi Fui

Since their inception in 2015, Asi Fui (Long Beach, CA) has brought their lush, sonic, beat-driven textures to many ears across Southern California. Atmospheric arrangements suspend singer/bassist Tatiana Velazquez’s soulful voice while listeners ponder her hard earned lyrics. Drummer Ryan Reiff’s stylistic range creates a canvas using intricate psych and Afro-influenced beats. Guitarist Miguel Vasquez weaves an element of sonic gold to compliment. 
​
Velazquez’s grandmother used to write on photos of her youth signing “asi fui” with what she was doing the moment the photo was taken. It translates to “this is how I was/went” in spanish. The name has become a statement of how the group rides the wave of any given moment and the songs becoming a captured timestamp.
​
With so much momentum behind the release of their debut album “Parallelogram” and the recording of the “Gold” EP in 2019, Asi Fui had no choice but to go back to the drawing board when Covid shut everything down in 2020. The trio continued experimenting with their sound, trying new innovative ways to write and arrange. In 2021 they added a 4th band member on guitar (Vince Mazza) and now have an array of new unrecorded material one can preview at a live show. The band is finally gearing up for the release of their “Gold” EP and music videos conceptualized and co-directed by the front woman.
