Details:
âYomiâ is a 24-year-old Singer/ Songwriter from the UK. Born in South London as one of 5 children who were all musical.

At the age of 11, he was introduced to a London based reggae sound system with his cousins called âgeniusâ; this was his first real taste of the music business. âYomiâ MCâd whilst his cousin sang the tracks, as time progressed, he felt more comfortable singing rather than MCâing and started developing his vocals at age 13. By 15 years of age âYomiâ was on his first project for 6 months singing vocals in a recording studio, since then he sang for various producers and started writing his own music, this varied from dancehall to RnB, through session work more and more experienced was gained.

At the age of 20 âYomiâ got his first chance to perform his own music live on stage in London at small events to gain confidence, this was well received by the London crowd, shortly afterwards he to relocate to Bristol to work with the youth and his musical talent came with him, this led him to perform on stage as a support act for âso solid crewâ and âdru hillâ.

âYomiâsâ name started to build within the South West and shortly after a few local gigs was introduced to Mark AKA âMixmaster Mâ of Blackstory Entertainment, by a mutual friend and recorded a track called âDaydreamsâ, which he wrote myself. With this track âYomiâ completed a mini tour around Bristol to see if it was get a positive response, the tour was really successful and to further develop his career âYomiâ went into training his mind, body and soul, so that he could hit the music industry with a bang. This involved working with producers in London as well as Bristol and finding my singing style.

As time progressed âYomiâ started getting various project offers and is now currently working with Blackstory Entertainment, promoting another track also written by him called âFantasyâ.

âYomiâ loves being a solo artist in the limelight. He loves performing and entertaining the fans, it gives him a buzz.

The release of the âFantasyâ track was decided upon when the kind of music currently being listened to at the moment, it will fit right in. âYomiâ has already performed this track on stage and he said âit went down a storm, the crowd loved itâ. The name âFantasyâ is on the same theme as âDaydreamsâ the previous track that he wrote.


Yomi is constantly influenced by music artists on a daily basis, but the ones that really stick in his mind are:

¨ Bob Marley â he grew up listening to and loving his voice
¨ Lionel Ritchie â loves the style of songs Lionel has performed
¨ Sanchez â âYomiâ admires his voice
¨ Craig David â he respects the style of songs he performs, as this is unique
¨ LL Cool J â âYomiâ says âhis game is tight, he has the full package, not just music â everythingâ and
¨ Ms Dynamite â she represents a positive, female, black role model for others in England

âYomiâsâ favourite music styles are dancehall, RnB, Hip-hop and the Spoken word. He would describe his voice as âstylish and coolâ.

Singing makes him feel alive, like an emotional Rolla coaster (âup and downâ), which makes him want to succeed even more in the music business, because he says âI will not be defeated, Iâll keep going for as long as it takesâ. Music makes him feel sooo good about himself; it fills a void that nothing else can.

âYomiâ sees his future as a success in the music/entertainment industry, a role model that young people can look up to and have a no.1 in the charts. He would love to work alongside Kano, Ciara and Snoop Dog to name but a few.
