Hi and welcome

I’m Vayy (aka Stephanie Yavelow) and music has always felt healing to me. During the more challenging times in life,
creating music and singing always helped me to process my emotions and stay in touch with feelings of hope and joy.

Which is why, besides writing and performing my own music,
I love songwriting & recording vocals for others, and helping songwriters & singers get to the next level in their
technical skills and creative expression.

You can listen to a song here if you’re curious about my music, contact me here if you’re interested in coaching, or click the link here if you’d like to learn more about booking vocals.

Silent concert walk “SENSES”

Currently I’m based in the Netherlands and have created a silent concert walk called "SENSES" together with Joshua Aaron (pianist) & Adriaan Stoop (drummer).

It takes place in forests and other special locations. Our vision is to create a shared experience where emotions are able to move freely and which encourages connectedness.

We feel inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi: the art of finding beauty in repairing what’s been broken.
This is traditionally done by mending broken ceramics with gold, and in our case, finding beauty in our emotional scars through music.

Songwriter, (session) singer, and teacher

I’ve spent my professional life between the Netherlands & LA, recording in studios like Capitol Records, though most of my favorite work still happens in my own studio.

Thanks to an inspiring collaboration with producer Marc Dold (Norah Jones, Peter Gabriel, Nelly Furtado), my music and vocals can be heard in many (Netflix) shows, series, & games.

After receiving my MA in Music at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, I’ve picked teaching back up and am excited to help students connect to their voice and unique expression.

Let’s work together

If you’d like to hear my voice in your song, want me to write lyrics/melodies for you, or are interested in finding your own voice through musical expression, don’t hesitate to
