Glamour. “Then all this grief really struck me…life, grief, all of that is a very private experience.” Yebba started writing songs in her bedroom as a way to cope, as she found ways to honor her mother through her music.

She offered free downloads of “My Mind” on her website and asked fans to donate to Bring Change to Mind, a mental health awareness charity.

Her stage name is also a tribute—Yebba is Abbey spelled backwards, a nickname her mother used for her. And on September 10, her debut album Dawn—the result of those bedroom writing sessions—was released by RCA Records.

The album title has a dual meaning for the artist, whose genre blends alternative, pop, R&B, neo jazz, and other influences.
