An exponent of the creative art of singing, Yaz Alexander is one of the UK's finest contemporary female vocalists who specializes in - but is not limited to performing Reggae, Jazz, Soul and R'n'B. Indeed, Yaz's vocal is so cosmopolitan that it dovetails seamlessly with almost any other genre of music that you could care to think of.
Inspired by flamboyant female superstars past and present, Yaz particularly draws influence from Billie Holiday, Shirley Bassey and the first lady of diva, Diana Ross, but because of her penchant for reggae, by default, Bob Marley is her number one musical inspiration and the influence of Bob is evident in almost every one of Yaz's lyrics - powerful, edifying, sometimes socio-political and nearly always containing a moral and/or didactical message for the consumer.
The stage is the natural domain for Yaz and like all of the great stage artisans she works it artistically, creatively and professionally and always gives audiences something stimulating to focus on.
A former backing vocalist for UK Reggae giant, Pato Banton, Yaz has also worked with the likes of Steel Pulse, Eddie Grant, Dean Fraser plus many other luminaries in the reggae field. However, her burning ambition is to progress the genre to it's innovative limits, experiment with other genres along the way and leave behind a timeless legacy of music that will immortalize her name for posterity.
