Born with an unusual name eclipsed only by her talent, Yewande (pronounced yee-wán-day) has been recognized as one of the most sought after independent artists in the world (www.yewande.com/ www.youtube.com/yewandemusic). In 2005, Yewande’s debut EP “Evolution” earned critical acclaim for her socially charged blend of Rock, Hip-Hop and Soul which she calls "Alternative Soul". This quickly led to appearances on MTV, BET, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and coveted performances with the likes of the Black Eyed Peas, India.Arie, Enrique Iglesias, Maroon 5 and Sean Paul. But the 2012 release of her debut album “Rebirth” is sure to solidify her position in music history.  When she isn’t rocking the stage, this award-winning lecturer, activist and honorary U. S. Cultural Ambassador produces music-based empowerment initiatives for vulnerable children from Africa to the Americas through her humanitarian organization (www.changerocksfoundation.com/www.youtube.com/changerocksinc) and social justice programs on college campuses across the country. It is this inspiring movement that has won over a legion of fans around the world.
