Yadea: Music Becomes Her<\/h1>\n

By Tatiana Junqueira<\/p>\n

Moody, melodic vocals, full of emotion and grit filled the studio during our recent photoshoot with the ingenue known as Yadea (pronounced “ja-day-a”). \u00a0We’d been waiting to validate her potential, so we listened intently, realized that we were dealing with true talent\u00a0and\u00a0carefully contained our excitement. \u00a0“My music is a fusion of R&B, trap and hip hop.” she said, letting us soak it all in. \u00a0The perfect fusion for where music is at today, I think to myself. \u00a0Funny, we think of ourselves as her first fans, but then again, she already has over fifty thousand\u00a0Instagram\u00a0followers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Think Sade meets Kylie Jenner meets The weeknd and you start to\u00a0grasp at what is\u00a0Yadea. \u00a0Raised in Switzerland, the daughter of a strong, South African fashion\u00a0model mother and a successful Persian Diamond Broker,\u00a0the\u00a0eighteen year old is informed\u00a0and mature beyond her years. \u00a0She speaks seven languages, has an opinion on any global issue you throw at her, looks like the most beautiful human amalgam possible and sounds like Nina Simone. \u00a0At least that’s what we’ve deduced so far, after several deep conversations with her about\u00a0humanity,\u00a0values, life and aesthetics and shooting\u00a0her for her first promotional images.<\/p>\n

We’re betting you’ll be hearing her\u00a0on the radio in the coming months. \u00a0For now, here are some images for\u00a0your visual fix. \u00a0Let us know what you think!<\/p>\n
