DJ & the Yams is a group based in Manhattan, NYC,
fronted by singer/pianist DJ (Desmond) Scaife (piano & vocals), the
Yams are comprised of musicians from multi-cultural backgrounds Franklin
Rankin (guitar), Manny William (bass) and Elé Howell (drums).
Desmond Scaife was a finalist in American Idol in 2014 and has performed
with and for Valerie Simpson, Berry Gordy Jr., Nona Hendryx and
Harry Belafonte.
They have a six track EP called "Let's Ride!" due on 1 Feb 2022 but two singles have already been released from it "Body Groove" (9 Dec
2021) followed by "Can't Miss A Friend" (14 Dec 2021). I've included both Spotify links and links to the EP on Bandcamp so
that the 'dead' tracks will become live upon release.
There is a live performance of "Body Groove" approx. 5 mins into the video
below.
