Who Is Nilüfer Yanya?

Nilüfer Yanya is another supporting act that is waving the flag for the UK. Yanya grew up in London and was raised by an Irish and Barbadian mother and Turkish father.

The singer, songwriter, and musician plays predominantly guitar rock, indie rock, and alternative rock, after learning how to shred on the guitar at the age of 12. She is also influenced by indie rock, soul, jazz, and trip hop, making for quite an eclectic sound.

After some success on SoundCloud, Yanya rejected the opportunity to join a girl group produced by One Direction's Louis Tomlinson in 2014, which is a girl boss move, if you ask us.

She released "Small Crimes/Keep on Calling" in 2016 and her debut studio album "Miss Universe" in 2019, which saw her gain critical acclaim.

If you're unfamiliar with Yanya's work, we recommend giving her recent album "PAINLESS" a listen. It is fire.

The artist has said she "can't wait" to perform at Adele's two-night show in Hyde Park, and we can't wait to see what's next for her.
