Iniko Comes Into ‘Awakening’ On Their Multi-Dimensional Debut Album

Following the release of their first LP, ‘The Awakening,’ Iniko talks to BET.com about being genreless, breaking free of their religious upbringing, and more.

Just a few short years after making it big on TikTok, the non-binary artist, who uses they/them pronouns, raises the vibes higher on their debut album “The Awakening,” released on January 31. The 13-song LP features their previous viral singles, “The King’s Affirmation” and “Jericho,” but in totality, the introduction shows Iniko at their most spiritually and metaphysically liberated. To mentally free themselves from the organization's weight, along with the day-to-day stress that the music industry can bring, Iniko makes it a daily practice to cry, as they were discouraged from showing their emotions as a child.
