Yaya Bey rocked the KEXP studio on September 23, 2025, with a tight four-song set: “End of the World,” “In a Circle,” “Exodus the North Star,” and “Merlot and Grigio.” Backed by Charles Wilson on drums, Hope Nwachukwu on keys, and Sweet Corey-Bey on bass, she delivered raw, soulful energy from start to finish—host Larry Mizell Jr. kept the vibe flowing, while Kevin Suggs captured every note.
Behind the scenes, Matt Ogaz polished the audio, Jim Beckmann, Scott Holpainen, and Luke Knecht handled the cameras, and Carlos Cruz put it all together in the edit bay. Hungry for more? Check out her latest at yayabey.bandcamp.com or catch the full performance at kexp.org.
