.:Yoko:.

A truly international star is rising, so look for Yoki Nguessan on the horizon! Yoko, of Asian and African Hertiage, was born and raise in France and currently living in the United States. The middle child of three, with an older sister and younger brother-- whom Yoko

declares emphatically is an amazing dancer-- she began dancing and watching television show at the age of 5, and began imitating singers at around 11-12 years old. She was so naturally talented (and self-taught at the time!), that people began to notice her & she began performing as a solo artist in France at the age of 15 years. Yoko taught herself to play piano and started composing her own music at only 11 years old. Her main influences are the strong female ballad singers, such as Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey, but her first and foremost influence was Whitney Houston. Yoko admires Beyonce'

for her captivating and powerful stage presence, and her strength as a female performer, but Christina Aguilera has also influenced Yoko for what she brings to her songs when she performs. She has been performing professionally in the United States for 3 years, and studied and performed with Kevin Gardner for 2 years. She has also performed at the Multifest in Seattle, twice, with Aaron Carter in 2008, other venues numerous times, and worked with Domino on a song. Our rising star is a voracious reader who loves words and simply loves to write anything--lyric or stories, as in addition to her ever growing stable of songs, she is currently working on her first full-length novel. In a few years time, Yoko see herself as an international star to match her international background, who will be acknowledged as an important and serious musical artist. As you can see, she is already on her way.
