YaSi Is A Bright Young Star In Denver’s Hip-Hop Scene
Yasman Azimi — who performs as YaSi — may be young, but she’s got years of experience in Denver’s hip-hop scene under her belt. She performed with H*Wood since 2013 before recently launching her solo career. YaSi released last summer the EP “Stranded Feelings,” and she followed that up with the single “Pink Caddy,” co-written with fellow Denver artist Sur Ellz. In December, she performed a couple of songs in our CPR Performance Studio. She also spoke with Alisha Sweeney about getting attention via online blogs, her love-hate relationship with music growing up and how a Frank Ocean cover kickstarted her music career.

Wild Child Performs Music From ‘Fools’ And An Exclusive New Song At CPR’s OpenAir
The founding members of Wild Child met while touring as backup singers for the band The Migrant. That encounter has proven to be a happy accident, as the two singers — Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins — hit it off as songwriting partners. The Austin, Texas, band has since grown into a septet with a varied and energetic indie pop sound. Wild Child’s latest full-length is “Fools.” The band performed two tracks from the LP as well as a brand new song in our CPR Performance Studio before a headlining show at Denver’s Bluebird Theater. They also spoke with Jeremy Petersen about the band’s origin story, how touring is essential to the band’s livelihood and how “Fools” is a breakup album.
