About yams

yams is a multi-hyphenate producer and singer-songwriter. He started his journey with music playing rock songs & acoustic covers, but when his mother abandoned him & his family when he was 19, and his father landed in the mental hospital, he was left with music as an outlet – his only avenue to express his frustration and despair.

Disappointed by the typical templates for success and normality imposed on him, yams brings that same energy to his songwriting, evident in his 2020 debut genre-crossing EP, ‘Inconsistent’. Not subscribing to a single genre, he allows the story of each song to shape its musicality, as seen in his 2018 song, ‘I’m Not Great’.

With his openness and honesty about his past trauma, and current struggles with identity and the nation, yams continues to make music – not just to keep himself sane, but hopefully to touch others who feel the same way he does; through his music, building a home for them that they may not find in their own family or country.
