ABOUT

Uniting Ukrainian heritage and classic American influences in a symphony of heartfelt storytelling.

YEV, blending the vibrant heritage of Ukraine with the diverse sounds of American Vintage Pop legacy, is crafting a distinct voice in contemporary cultural music. Awarded the 2023-2024 Cedar Commissions, his work has not only showcased his talent but also underscored his commitment to weaving stories of hope and resilience into his music. With a diverse palette that spans Rock, Soul, Indie Folk, and American Vintage Pop, YEV crafts songs that resonate deeply, carried by a voice that can whisper tenderly or soar with passion.

Drawing upon his own journey from Ukraine to America, YEV infuses his music with a unique depth and sensitivity. Through personal reflections, conversations with Ukrainian refugees, and insights from war veterans, he channels a collective spirit of endurance and speaks to the universal quest for belonging.

As he continues to share the resilience of the Ukrainian spirit through his art, YEV maintains his role as a storyteller at heart, forging connections with his audience through intimate live performances and digital engagement. His future endeavors promise to further dissolve cultural barriers, shining a light on shared human experiences and the timeless pursuit of harmony and understanding.

A 2023 - 2024 Cedar Commissions award recipient, YEV’s latest project reflects on Ukraine's current events, history, and resilient culture. YEV's voice and songs authentically echo raw emotions, transforming pain into hope.
