Awno Josué is an author, producer, and performer. He was born in 1993 in Les Abymes, a city in the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. He became interested in audiovisual production, especially music production, at the age of 15, with the goal of recording himself.

After participating in a music production workshop in 2011 in Grand Camp, a suburban area of Les Abymes, he decided to set up his own home studio. In this studio, an artistic crew consisting of several youths from the neighborhood was born as 142 Désibèl. At that time, Awno went by the monicker EMS. Influenced by both rap and R&B, he described his music as The Poet's Blues.

In 2014, Awno moved to France to pursue his studies at the SAE Institute, where he was trained as a sound technician.

In 2015, he released his first project, Sample Life, as a free download, which he presented as his business card.

In January 2018, his album Kolibri Mò Brilé, featuring 12 tracks that depict various aspects of his environment, was released. Around the same time, Awno began practicing the KA drum with the Guadeloupean cultural movement Akiyo.

In 2019, reflecting a desire to be more authentic, he decided to no longer use the moniker EMS and adopted the name Awno instead. That same year, Frékans, the first album from 142 Désibèl, was released and presented live at the Felix Proto Cultural Palace in Les Abymes.

As projects continued to unfold, during the COVID-19 pandemic Awno teamed up with Nomis, another member of 142 Désibèl, to work on the album Evanescence Infinie. Due to sanitary restrictions at the time, the album, which was initially intended to be performed live, could only be performed once. It was presented on its release date, live at the Nexxxt Club, on February 26, 2021.

In early 2022, with a desire to combine Rap and Gwoka (a local music genre), Awno co-founded the group Konplo A Nèg (KAN). he also made the decision to end his activities at 142 Désibèl studio, and embark on a solo career as Awno Josué.
