ABOUT ME
YAS is a full time classically trained violinist, vocalist, songwriter, composer and producer in the LA area.
She has recorded strings for some of the biggest names in music including the likes of Selena Gomez, John Legend, ASAP Rocky, Big Sean, Lil Nas X, Wu Tang Clan, Anderson Paak, Roddy Rich, San Holo, Smino, 070 Shake, BORNS, Ant Clemons, as well as been credited on two Kanye West produced albums - and that is just to name a few. Proving to be one of the most diverse and versatile session artists in the game, YAS, has solidified her spot as your artist's favorite string player.
While staying true to her genre agnostic ways, YAS has carved out a space at the table with the emergence of her own artist-producer project featuring a unique and fresh fusion of alternative r&b and moody dark pop sounds - accompanied with an incredible vocal range and capability.
Her single 'Empty Crown' has garnered over 53 million plays across all platforms, becoming the stand out track on Bitbird's Multi-Artist Compilation album and capturing the attention of YT tastemaker, Mr, Suicide Sheep. She continued the momentum with her second and Bitbird release, Caroline, which made an appearance on New Music Friday and has the complexity to make any producer lose their mind.
YAS returned in 2021 with her year-long COLORS rollout, which includes a series of four self-produced and self-written EPs titled RED, BLUE, PURPLE and YELLOW. Each release to date has captured the attention of notable press outlets and DSPs , such as Billboard, New York Times, Spotify's New Music Friday, and Fresh Finds playlists.
In the last year, Yas has been focused on entering the sync space. She recently landed a placement for the FX show American Horror Story, performed across multiple tracks on Marvel's Spiderman: Into The SpiderVerse x Metro Booming soundtrack, and finalized a placement on two Hulu shows- "Good Trouble” and “The Cleaning Lady”. In April 2024, Yas’ song “sky walking” was chosen as the official song to promote the Nike AirMax Dn Shoe.
