YOSHE is an alt-R&B and indie alternative artist born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. Blending smooth, emotive vocals with genre-defying production, YOSHE creates a sound that’s both intimate and expansive. Drawing influence from the rawness of alternative music and the soul of R&B, YOSHE is carving out a sonic identity that’s uniquely personal and deeply resonant. With a bold presence and a fearless approach to storytelling, YOSHE is a voice to watch in South Africa’s rising alternative music scene. 

Life is beautiful because it ends. Love is beautiful because it hurts. A ‘Beautiful Disappointment’, explores the paradox of love, loss and life through the lens of father, husband, artist, and performer, YOSHE. A navigation through the binaries of life in search of wholeness and honesty, YOSHE’s poetic execution reminds us of Memento mori, amor fati, which translates to, “remember that you have to die; love your fate”. This is life’s greatest ‘Beautiful Disappointment’.
