TEN Years ago, YolanDa Brown was studying a PhD in Management Science and a career in music came calling.
10 Years later, Double MOBO Award winning YolanDa Brown is the premier female saxophonist in the UK.
And she will be at the Adam Smith Theatre on Thursday April 5.
Known for her unique fusion of Reggae, Jazz and Soul, this tour features music from her critically acclaimed albums, plus many crowd favourites.
YolanDa has toured with Diana Krall, The Temptations, Billy Ocean, and collaborated with artists such as Snarky Puppy’s Bill Laurance, Reggae Legend Bob Marley’s son Julian, and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
She is broadcaster – working on TV and radio, a foodie, and can complete a Rubik’s cube in under 5 minutes… on a good day! Brown was recently awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts by the University of East London and also invited to meet the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace.
A real renaissance woman, set to reach new heights, join YolanDa Brown for a fantastic evening of sunshine music as she celebrates 10 Years in Music.
