Yakez on SoundBetter

'Stunning vocals' BBC Wales; 'Silken' BBC 6 Music. My vocals, playing and songwriting have featured by the likes of BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, 6, Songlines and Gramophone. I'm an efficient remote session worker, with a pro studio.

I'm a keys/synth player, singer, composer and producer. MY innovative music at the boundaries of pop, sound-art, jazz and contemporary classical has been featured by the likes of Gramophone, Songlines, BBC Radio 1, 2, 3 and 6, Spotify, Apple Music and UNESCO. Mostly I'm busy fronting dream pop / sound art duo pecq, composing experimental electro-classical work and producing records for bands.

I provide session vocals, keys and synth, as well as co-writing sessions. I sing pop, electronic, jazz and folk styles. My voice is well suited to the dream pop/ indie pop world, with similar vibes to Men I Trust and Phoebe Bridgers.

I'm an efficient session worker, with access to a pro studio space and vocal chain, and the ability to engineer and comp my own recordings. I also have a lot of experience comping others' vocals, coaching singers through recording sessions and writing harmony and backing vocal parts.

I'm a pianist with Grade 8 Distinction who mainly sessions for jazz, folk and pop genres, as well as recording synth parts. I have access to a beautiful Kemble piano and a variety of synths inc: Prophet Rev 2, Juno 106, Moog Grandmother, Nord Stage 2, Bass Station, Jen SX1000 and Modular Synth array.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
