Yaba’s passion for music started from an early age in Khartoum, Sudan. He started off as a singer in the local children’s choir. After gaining support from his parents and close friends, he began taking the steps towards my musical journey.
He moved to Nashville, TN in 2006 and joined a South Sudanese afrobeat band called “Sosa Musica”. From the two years’ experience with the band, he decided to pursue a career as a solo artist. Since then, he has worked hard to sharpen my craft and evolve as a professional song writer, producer, director, and recording artist. Yaba was born Angelo Maku in South Sudan.
