Meet Daniela Scales, the powerhouse talent known as Yelly, whose journey from the heart of Sacramento to the bustling music scene in Los Angeles is nothing short of inspiring. Yelly discovered her passion for singing in the third grade, and with her father’s support through vocal lessons, she began to carve a niche in the R&B genre. Headlining shows as a teenager and remixing popular songs, Yelly’s unique sound started gaining traction, especially after her captivating performance at the Sol Blume festival in 2023.
Now at 24, Yelly is in full control of her musical destiny. Though she released her latest single “Till The Morning” in early 2024, she’s taking her time to craft something special for fans with plans for a significant comeback in 2026. Yelly’s journey is not just about chasing fame; she wants to connect with listeners, heal through her music, and represent her hometown in a way that makes Sacramento proud. As she puts it, her experiences are rich, and now is the time for her artistry to shine.
With her manager Brent Sands by her side, Yelly is set to navigate the twists and turns of the music industry while remaining true to her roots. It’s refreshing to see an artist who knows that sometimes taking a step back can lead to a leap forward. Who knows? Yelly might just be the next big thing we didn’t see coming, and we’re totally here for it!
