Yemi Bolatiwa
“A versatile vocalist, at home on an infectious pop song or a confessional soul track. There’s an effortlessness and smoothness to her delivery.” – Crack Magazine

The live band is an exciting group of instrumentalists bound by versatility and smoothness. A combination of bouncy and dynamic dependable R&B beats and melodies, jazzy riffs and luxurious cinematic string moments.
