I’m Y'AKOTO, an internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter and writer with nearly two decades in the creative industry. I’ve released multiple albums, toured globally, and built a reputation for raw honesty and fearless artistry. Now, I’m stepping into a new chapter as a self-published author. With my debut book, The World Needs More Love, I expand my voice beyond music to deliver a manifesto that merges art, resilience, and empowerment. I wrote this book to turn survival into philosophy—to transform lived experience into a manifesto that insists on love, even when the world gives us reason to turn away from it.
