Yame

Yame has been steadily building a reputation for soulful vocals and thoughtful songwriting. Based between Paris and Douala, her music explores themes of identity and belonging, resonating with the Cameroonian diaspora worldwide.

Growing up in a musical family in Douala, Yame was exposed to a rich variety of sounds from an early age. Traditional Cameroonian music played alongside American R&B and French pop in her household, creating the foundation for her eclectic musical style.

After moving to Paris to pursue her education, Yame began performing in local venues and quickly caught the attention of music producers impressed by her powerful voice and authentic songwriting. Her EP "Roots & Wings" received critical acclaim for its authentic blend of contemporary R&B with subtle nods to Bikutsi rhythms.

What sets Yame apart is her ability to weave stories of the diaspora experience into her music, creating songs that speak to the complexities of identity and belonging. Her lyrics, often switching between French, English, and her native dialect, reflect the multilingual reality of many young Cameroonians today.

As her international profile continues to grow, Yame remains committed to highlighting Cameroonian culture and creating pathways for other artists from her homeland to reach global audiences.
