A perfect blend of Soul, Jazz, Rhythm and Blues and Gospel, Yamama'Nym present organic melodies with a vision to maintain a distinctive sound and still offer reverence to music's past. From feel good music to love ballads to the kind of track that makes you just want to get-up-and-do-something, the group, hand picked by producer/ writer and label owner, Tre Barr of 2A.M. Music, will bring you a quality music every time. The band got their start in the Spring of 2002 and although members have changed the toe-tapping feeling you get when you listen remains the same. Since 2002 the band has become internationally known and has traveled to places near and far to share their souls with the world. The evocative music of Yamama'Nym has a '70s flavor at its foundation with a neo-soul modern feeling to make it right for any atmosphere yet appropriate for only the mature true music lover. The debut album, 2A.M., made huge impacts nation-wide as well as abroad, in Japan, the U.K., and Europe with soulful singles like "You Still Are" and "Mr. Incredible/Invicible." The second album, Due Time, emerged in 2005 with tracks like the seven minute motivational speech "My Life" and the upbeat and ever-truthful "Just Stay (with me)" to hold it up. This album added to the flavor of Yamama'Nym, a sassy, lay-it-all-bare, compilation of emotions.

The members of Yamama'Nym are just as eclectic as the music. Sam Prather is the music director for the band and is the band's longest standing member, one of the originals. Sam plays the keyboard with fervor and offers a jazz flavor to the band. KJ Dennis came to the band in 2005 and is the vocal leader for the band. He is a power crooner, a tenor that can make you feel what he's saying deep-down. Dru White is the lead guitar player and is a background vocalist. His electric guitar adds an element of funk to the blend. Cory Baker is the band's highly sought after drummer. Wardell Howell's on the bass, adding a funky baselines to the collective. And the band wouldn't be complete without their talented songstresses: Claudette Monet, a power soprano from Florida and Erica Leak, a strong alto and the newest member of the band. Together, they all have a for-real love affair with music that comes across with every note.

Yamama'nym - 2:00 Am (2003)

Yamama'Nym's highly anticipated first album "2:00 AM" has drawn from the band's strengths of Soul, R&B, Jazz and Hip Hop to help drive their musical vision to a broader audience.With recording and mixing done by producer extraordinaire Tre Barr at Outta Control Studios, the release presents the group's ripe, cultured, and straightforward songwriting skills and give them a catalyst to the day when they will bridge the gap between their successful East Coast tours and widen their national and international exposure. © cdbaby

Yamama'nym - Due Time (2005)

Baltimore's (DC's) Yamama'nym is back with a great second album, one that's even richer and more fully-formed than the first! As before, the group's got a really collaborative spirit, one that draws on a wide range of talents from its many players, yet which also comes across with a really clear, cohesive sound overall. The album steps nicely from mellow ballads into funkier material then back again into easier modes, but never loses the sweetly soulful personality that makes the group so great and the album is laced with some really great interlude tracks that even further deepen the group's tapestry of sound.

Yamama'nym - Soularevolution (2008)

Fully righteous soul from Baltimore's Yamam'nym. A group who've grown up wonderfully over the years, and emerge here as a mature combo with a hell of a lot to offer! As with previous records, this set's got a really collaborative feel, a sound that builds beautifully from a range of different vocalists, a few guest stars and some well-crafted grooves from the group, all in a blend of jazzy soul with plenty of classic touches, yet always delivered with a contemporary underground twist! The focus here is really wonderful and shows that the group have really used the time since their last album wonderfully, digging even deeper into their own soulful bag to come up with new ideas and richer concepts to keep an album like this totally fresh.
