Mato Wayuhi, a 25-year-old Oglala Lakota artist and composer from South Dakota, has signed with CAA for representation.
Los Angeles-based Wayuhi works in both movies and TV as a music composer and producer, and makes his own albums that reflect in part his Lakota roots. He gained industry attention for his work as a composer on the first two seasons of Reservation Dogs, created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi for FX and Hulu.
He also scored the film War Pony, an intimate film by Riley Keough that premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and won the Caméra d’Or award for best debut feature. A version of the Oglala Lakota tribe story, War Pony, which follows the lives of two young men on the Pine Ridge Reservation, sees spirits lure humans from their underground lodgings to Earth’s surface before the Creator is finished.
