Yemi Marie

Chicago-based pop-R&B singer, songwriter, and pianist Yemi Marie produced her first open public functionality at a competition that occurred at Disney Globe, where she sang for the crowd of thousands of. She released her 2013 debut record, 12/11/12, before she transformed 16 years of age. The independent discharge, while wholly modern from a creation standpoint, was something of the throwback to early albums by famous brands Brandy and Monica — age-appropriate, however advanced and positive. Among her 2014 produces, including singles such as for example “Sunday,” “True Thing,” and “Radio Place,” was a nod to her city’s bop dance design, “Appreciate Bop.” Yemi can be an anti-bullying and anti-violence activist using a campaign directed at academic institutions in her hometown.
