About Yvette Mushimiyimana

My artist name is Evéa. My music has an ambient sound to it, with roots in soul, R&B, and folk. I’ve been singing since I was little but started intentionally sharing my voice on stage in 2019. Since then I’ve done background vocals for a couple local Chicago artists like Calid B, Inho and the Violet Suns, Saint Juice, Chicago Soul Spectacular, Lester Rey and more. In between being a background vocalist, I’ve produced some singles and an EP that are featured on my Spotify page. I’m overjoyed when expressing through music and look forward to collaborating more.

Yvette's Experience

I’ve sang background vocals and have co-written songs for many of the artist featured above. These artists make afro beats, rap, alternative rock, R&B, soul, Punk, and Latin music. The majority of the songs have been performed at Chicago venues like the Lincoln Hall, Schubas Tavern, Steppenwolf Theatre, Emporium, Sleeping Village, and a couple of smaller venues. And other songs have been produced for studio albums/singles. In addition, I’ve done the visual art and produced my own music, which is indie folk soul and can be found on all streaming platforms.
