Bio
There's nothing quite like the sound of Studio 54 and yet that's the feeling LA-born artist YaLLa The Melodica is providing with her luscious vocals and tantalizing productions. You Make Me Hot is the newest single from the disco-pop creative, born Zakiya Jenkins, and marks her first release following her 2016 debut EP, The Elements of YaLLa.
Singing and performing her whole life, YaLLa first began performing her own music in church at 11 years old and went on to form girl group Just3. YaLLa, along with her band, first performed at X-factor and began performing all over Los Angeles, CA shortly after. In 2017, YaLLa began performing as a solo artist and has since appeared at Heroes Lounge in Dallas, TX and Charm City Books in Baltimore, MD.
Inspired by artists like Donna Summer, The Pointer Sisters, Janet Jackson, Lalah Hathaway, and Kool & The Gang, YaLLa's desire is to "bring back the disco sound." Holding fast to her core beliefs, YaLLa aims to "create a safe space for queer artists to express their love and creativity and to inspire everyone at all ages to live the life they desire."
