ABOUT ME
YAS is a classically trained violinist, vocalist, songwriter, composer, and producer based in LA. A sought-after session artist, she has recorded and performed violin for artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Coldplay, Chappell Roan, Smokey Robinson, Metro Boomin, ASAP Rocky, Selena Gomez, and John Legend, solidifying her reputation as an artist’s favorite string player.
While genre-fluid, YAS has carved her own lane with a fusion of alternative R&B and moody dark pop. Her single Empty Crown amassed over 70 million streams. She followed up with Caroline, which landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday. Her COLORS project—a series of self-produced EPs (RED, BLUE, PURPLE, YELLOW)—garnered recognition from Billboard, The New York Times, and major DSP playlists.
Recently, YAS has expanded into sync, landing placements and performances on American Horror Story, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse x Metro Boomin soundtrack, and Hulu’s Good Trouble and The Cleaning Lady. In April 2024, her song Sky Walking became the official promo track for Nike’s AirMax DN.
