ABOUT THIS ARTIST

With her ethereal voice she manages to blend old R&B with a present spin, giving it a new life and a fresh audience.

Yiigaa (real name Yiga which means good luck) was raised in Brixton, South London. The daughter of Ivorian musician Henri Gaobi, there was always music blasting throughout the house encouraging and inspiring her strong passion for music. From the early age of seven, she was writing both her own and favourite song lyrics over her body when she was bored to kill time, ending up in her obtaining countless of diaries with song lyrics from over the years. 

Growing up she listened to the likes Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Frank Ocean. These are the musicians who she credits to have helped shape her musical tastes and direction, which can be clearly heard throughout her catalogues. So far she has released two EP’s which she describes as “neo soul infused with a little hi-fi to create old school vibes with a modern twist.”
