Toronto born and rooted in Brazilian culture, Yya steps into the spotlight with “Slide”, a debut single that blends the bounce of Brazilian funk with the grit of Toronto’s hip-hop scene and the smoothness of R&B. It’s a track that feels fresh, confident, and full of life.
Beneath the groove, “Slide” carries a deeper meaning, one born from personal trials and hard-earned resilience. For Yya, music and poetry were more than creative outlets; they were lifelines. That honesty seeps into every lyric, making the song as real as it is catchy.
There’s a natural balance in her delivery with vulnerability wrapped in strength, coolness laced with grit. It’s the kind of debut that doesn’t just introduce an artist, it sets the tone for what’s to come.
With “Slide”, Yya shows she’s not here to blend in, she’s here to carve her own lane. Stream her new single Slide HERE on all DSP’s.
