Yusuf Yahaya - Singer, Musician, Wordsmith.
About Yusuf Yahaya
"I like to consider myself a musician, but to be honest I’m just someone who asks questions over instrumentals."
“My songs are like questions. I feel as though we all have them, and I enjoy taking people on a quest to find answers, over striped back lo-fi instrumentals. My major inspirations are J Cole and Santan Dave in terms of style, but in terms of contents I owe that to all my exes.”
Faceless Expressions
Yusuf wrote this song as part of a mini project called “Western Sessions”.
Faceless expressions refers to that feeling of speaking to someone, and expecting answers or a reaction, but getting nothing back.
Sometimes a faceless expression is all the reaction you need.
Sunderland AfterDark events are open to singers, musicians, performance poets, spoken word artists, and creatives of all kinds.
