“I can’t imagine a life without reggae!
I’m always interested and inspired by creative musical experimentations but,
when we sprinkle a lil’ reggae in the mix it’s simply irie!”

Born in Birmingham UK, Yaz Alexander is one of the UK’s foremost Reggae
singers whose musical history spans over twenty years. Having gained
recognition from being a longstanding backing vocalist for UK reggae
luminaries Pato Banton and the legendary Steel Pulse, the inspiration from
this work led her to a solo career.
She released her debut album ‘Life Begins’ in 2007 with crowd pleasers like
‘Empress’, ‘Why Me’, and a cover version of the infamous Dennis Brown song,
‘How Could I Leave’. The album also included the smashing hit ‘Still Burning’
that was produced by legendary UK producer Paul Horton.
Yaz followed that up with a 2nd
album, “Cry For Freedom” with the title
track being subsequently used in an edition of BBC TV’s award winning
documentary, Panorama. Her 3rd
studio album, “One Step Closer’, was
released in 2010 and quickly reached the #1 slot on Reverbnation’s Reggae
chart.
Yaz has also recorded and performed with many musical greats including
Eddie Grant, Dean Frazer, Tippa Irie, Peter Hunnigale, Willie Stewart (Third
World), Musical Youth, Sylvia Tella, plus many others. The reggae songstress’
sultry voice has captivated audiences as far a field as Europe, North America
and the Caribbean. Her latest project is scheduled to be released in 2015.
