Yazmin Lacey

Yazmin Lacey synthesizes classic R&B, jazz, and reggae with a modern approach and relates her journal-like songwriting with a conversational voice. The Nottingham native started performing informally with friends and had no other artistic ambition until she was invited to take part in BBC DJ Gilles Peterson's Future Bubblers program. She established herself with Black Moon, When the Sun Dips 90 Degrees, and Morning Matters, EPs released from 2017 through 2020, before stepping forward in 2023 with her first album, Voice Notes, made in close collaboration with Dave Okumu.
