ABOUT YOLA
Yola is a six-time GRAMMY-nominated artist, songwriter, and actor who has achieved critical acclaim, breakout success, and has been proclaimed as one of the most exciting and innovative artists in music today. She recently returned with her new EP, My Way, featuring singles including "Future Enemies." Her first new music in three years, it blends progressive R&B with haunting electronica. Co-produced by Yola, Sean Douglas, and Zach Skelton, the new single marks a shift in her sound while nodding to her UK Broken Beat roots. Her powerful vocals and genre-fluid approach has been championed by tastemakers including Rolling Stone, who proclaimed her as “one of contemporary pop’s greatest singers, who just so happens to also be one of its sharpest songwriters.”
Following the success of her acclaimed 2021 album Stand For Myself, Yola made her acting debut portraying the founder of rock and roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, in Baz Luhrmann’s ELVIS, and earned a NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Breakthrough Performance in a Motion Picture. She made her awards show performance debut at the American Music Awards in November 2022 as their featured SONG OF THE SOUL performer. That same evening the ELVIS movie soundtrack won the "Favorite Soundtrack" award. Yola is a member of The Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective, and to celebrate Yola’s impact and influence on music, her guitar was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Right Here, Right Now exhibit.
