On September 23, 2025, Yaya Bey lit up the KEXP studio with a soulful live take on “merlot and grigio,” backed by Hadaiyah Bey on vocals, Charles Wilson on drums, Hope Nwachukwu on keys and Sweet Corey-Bey on bass. The vibe was pure magic—all captured by a killer production crew.
Behind the scenes, Larry Mizell Jr. hosted the session, Kevin Suggs handled audio engineering, Matt Ogaz mastered the track, and Jim Beckmann, Scott Holpainen & Luke Knecht manned the cameras while Carlos Cruz stitched it all together. Craving more? Hit up yayabey.bandcamp.com or swing by kexp.org.
