Double MOBO award-winner, broadcaster and passionate advocate for music education, the multi-talented saxophonist YolanDa Brown is one of the most dynamic and high-profile characters on the UK music scene.

Her music is a delicious fusion of reggae, jazz and soul. She has toured with artists such as The Temptations, Jools Holland and Billy Ocean and is currently composing music for the iconic Sesame Street. She was awarded an OBE for services to music, music education and broadcasting in the 2023 New Year Honours List. A BAFTA nominated broadcaster, you would have seen her on TV shows like Celebrity Mastermind or Portrait Artist of the Year. Join YolanDa Brown and her band for some sunshine music.
