Iyamah (Pronounced i-yam-ah)

She grew up on the sounds of African drumming and reggae music in the seaside town of Brighton. Immersed in the festival culture, Iyamah was raised by her artistic mother, who encouraged her with a creative upbringing. At 13, she picked up a piano and started writing songs, but kept them for her own expression, just like a diary. Iyamah was inspired by empowering female artists and since moving to London at 19, developed her taste for Neo-Soul and hip hop.

Her first single, Cryptic Love in 2018 and has become one of the UK’s most exciting up and coming artists in the scene and describes her sound as ‘Rootsy Soul’, a combination of her favourite genres.

She recently sold out her headline show at Omeara and has a new Album coming this year.

In 2023 new material looms as the blossoming musician carves out an increasingly captivating musical imprint with his stunning vocal tone.
