Yaba's musical career took off in 2016. For a few years he was part of the Red Acapella group before branching off as a solo artist. "I was in a band and I took a different direction because I thought I needed to grow. I felt like I was stagnating so I wanted to grow and accomplish all that I had set out to do so I decided to set out on a solo path," says Yaba. He describes his music as Rhumbacane, a fusion of Rhumba, Trap, and Benga with a touch of new school lyrics and melodies. It’s my own thing- it’s a combination of “Rhumba” plus “Cane” for sugarcane to mean its sweet Rhumba. He has released a 6 track EP Rhumbacane which he followed up with a sophomore EP Bestie in 2022. He is now working towards his debut album slated for a 2024 release. The album brings together artists from various genres to showcase how Rhumba music can seamlessly intermarry with pop music.
