Few musicians can boast collaborations with Drake, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Stormzy and A$AP Rocky on their CV. Few singers have such a formidable voice as Yess , and it is the key to both her solo success and star collabs.

Abigail Elizabeth Smith, as her real name is, first drew attention to herself in 2016 as a terrific backing singer for Chance The Rapper on "SNL." The following year, she was signed to Ed Sheeran's label Gingerbread Man Records, and shortly after, her debut single "Evergreen" was released.

2019 marked several career highlights. She appeared on three major albums: Stormzy's Heavy Is the Head, Ed Sheeran's No.6 Collaboration Project and Mark Ronson Late Night Feelings. Last but not least, she and PJ Morton received a Grammy for “Best Traditional R&B Performance” for their interpretation of the Bee Gees classic “How Deep Is Your Love”.

In 2021, Yebba made her album debut with Dawn, which perfectly combines modern pop, classic soul and big ballads. It was praised by media outlets such as Variety, Exclaim and Clash Music and reached number 6 on the prestigious US Heat chart. The same year saw the release of her biggest hit to date, “Yebba's Heartbreak”, which can be found on the Drake album “Certified Lover Boy”, and which has been streamed over 500 million times on Spotify.

After a solid break from the spotlight, Yebba made a splash last year with his appearance on Tyler, The Creator's album Don't Tap the GlassIt turned out to be a harbinger of new music from her own hand, because in early 2026 she announced that her second, long-awaited album Jean was released on March 6th.
