Hi, I'm Yas! I'm a Brooklyn-based, London-raised alternative folk-pop singer-songwriter and producer. Originally trained as a classical pianist and jazz saxophonist, I started writing songs at 14 years old. I later moved to New York to earn my BFA in Recorded Music at NYU Tisch's Clive Davis Institute, where I graduated magna cum laude. While at NYU, I studied songwriting, production, performance, studio engineering, and music business, and dedicated myself to crafting songs that detail the intricacies of every-day life with honesty and simplicity.
I have worked with a range of songwriting students across different age-groups, from elementary school, to middle school and high school. I welcome working with college students and adults as well. I enjoy the process of teaching students with different goals and imaginations. Lessons with me will be engaging, collaborative, and hands-on, with a focus on learning to achieve your individual goals and giving you the tools to succeed and be confident in your musical endeavours.
When not making music, I love playing soccer and supporting my favorite team (Manchester United) as well as trying out new food!
Feel free to reach out for more information or to talk further, and I look forward to working with you!
