Yosief Gebreyesus’ journey to stardom is as compelling as his music.

He honed his musical skills by studying traditional Ethiopian instruments like the krar (a lyre-like instrument) and the masinko (a one-stringed violin), before venturing into contemporary music production.
His breakthrough came with the release of “Meskerem,” a soulful ballad that became an instant hit in Ethiopia and beyond. The song’s simple yet poignant lyrics about love and longing resonated with listeners across cultures, catapulting Yosief onto the international stage.
Since then, he has released two critically acclaimed albums, “Adey” and “Tsehay,” which further solidified his position as a leading figure in the Ethiopian music scene. His music videos, often featuring stunning visuals of Ethiopian landscapes and traditional dances, have garnered millions of views on YouTube, introducing his unique sound to a global audience.
