Deemed a “Breakthrough Star” by MMSCENE Magazine, English-Nigerian producer, singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, speaker, and model, ASHER YELO, is one to watch. As a self-taught musician, he is taking the definition of “bedroom producer” to new heights, having already written and produced for the likes of Harmony Samuels; producing duo, Sons of Sonix; Brittany B.; Coco Jones; and Reina, before even graduating from high school. Now, at age 20, with a coveted acceptance to the Institute of Electronic Music at NYU behind him, 2021 has brought forth ASHER YELO’s debut solo project, know me. With Nigerian and English roots, his style is reflective of both elements of West African beats and introspective, English lyricism. ASHER YELO’s ability to create music that communicates across borders is also evident through his ability to fluently speak French, and his global production style is influenced by having lived in multiple countries and traveled to five out of the seven continents. As a bi-racial artist with a strong desire to inspire the youth of his generation, he has written, produced, and performed original charity singles for the GEANCO Foundation, alongside the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew Garfield, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Cynthia Erivo, in addition to a number of other philanthropic endeavors. In conjunction with his burgeoning music career, ASHER YELO has walked in numerous fashion shows, including four Dolce & Gabbana runways during Milan and New York Fashion Week. With only 20 years of age, but with eight years of experience honing his skills as a producer and writer, ASHER YELO also caught the attention of legendary Quincy Jones Productions, and signed to the company for management, shortly thereafter.
