Yya -SLIDE (Single)

Yya Makes Bold Entrance with Debut Single SLIDE.

Toronto-based artist Yya has burst onto the scene with her debut single SLIDE, a track that fuses funk, R&B and hip‑hop with a fearless message of survival and self‑empowerment.

Rooted in her Brazilian heritage and shaped by the grit of Toronto life, Yya’s sound is smooth and sultry on the surface, yet carries a deeper truth. “‘Slide’ is about knowing when to move on with grace,” she explains. “It’s reclaiming your power and moving like you’re healed, even if you’re still in the process.”

Her story is one of resilience. Left by her mother at 14, Yya turned to poetry and music, transforming hardship into art. The track speaks to those who have survived in silence but are now ready to step into the light.

With influences ranging from Tupac to Lil’ Kim, Yya delivers raw honesty with an irresistible groove – “funk and R&B/hip‑hop had a baby,” she says, “and that baby grew up resilient, sexy and spiritual.”

SLIDE is just the beginning. “This isn’t just a track,” Yya insists. “It’s the opening scene of my story.”
