Let’s face it, those of us who were born as a result of the Motown era watched an explosion of soul music throughout the world increasingly become ignored by the mainstream. YOLANDA will set the record straight. This independent soul-singer and songwriter brings a refreshing energy of understated sexuality and social commentary. Yolanda rescues us from track hopping and takes us back to the day when all you had to do was just push “play.”
This Brooklyn, NY native has been writing since the age of 5. Early on, she took notice of how music affected people, realizing how it makes people reminisce and eases pain; how it uplifts, calms, and heals. Music naturally flows through Yolanda’s veins. Yolanda’s father, Samuel Jonathan Johnson, was a Columbia Recording Artist. Yolanda is also cousin to Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert of the Gap Band. She says, "All I remember as a child growing up was going to bed listening to my father's band and waking up hearing my father's band, and I LOVED it." Yolanda now lives in Moreno Valley, CA right outside of Los Angeles.
Yolanda released her first project, Sweet Yesterday in 2002. With Violet Flower, she is reintroducing herself, offering an eclectic sound that can simply be categorized as SOUL! Anyone listening to her music will enjoy the freedom and exploration of the soulful rhythms. Her live performance is filled with captivating good vibes with three amazing background singers and a monstrous five-piece band that reminds you why you cannot live without music.
