Yaya Bey is an American singer-songwriter from Queens, New York, known for her introspective, genre-blending approach to contemporary R&B. Born Hidaiyah Bey, she creates music that weaves together elements of soul, jazz, hip-hop, and reggae, exploring the lineage of Black music while delving into themes of Black womanhood, healing, grief, and joy. Her work is both nuanced and deeply personal, often reflecting her life experiences and emotional resilience. Emerging from New York’s underground scene, she gained wider recognition with projects like Madison Tapes (2020) and her critically acclaimed album Remember Your North Star (2022), which earned “Best New Music” honors and showcased her candid, poetic storytelling. The daughter of rapper Grand Daddy I.U., Bey has accomplished much, but remains most proud of one thing above all else — that she’s stayed human. Her latest album, Fidelity, is available April 17th
