Yaksta has successfully utilised his management in the United States and the United Kingdom to make a name for himself outside Jamaica. His biggest hit single to date, “Ambition,” has garnered 12 million views on YouTube and counting since it dropped last year and is a firm favourite with his growing fan base in the Diaspora. Ambition is an inspirational, award-winning song from Yaksta, who focuses heavily on entrepreneurship and generational wealth in his songs.

Having made his first major appearance in the United States in May 2022 at one of Florida’s biggest Dancehall Festivals (Best of the Best Music Festival), Yaksta’s popularity exploded after a remarkable performance to crowds that gathered in the rain to sing along with him. This marked the beginning of a successful tour of The Americas as sporadic booking requests followed. Flying from the US mainland to other countries and Islands in The Americas has been an exciting experience for Yaksta who commented:

“2022 means something special to me. I have enjoyed some of the best experiences of my life on this journey. My hard work and belief have paid off.”

On Saturday 23 July 2022, Yaksta performed at Reggae SumFest in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The festival has always been an important platform for showcasing Jamaica’s finest musical talent. Yaksta’s Reggae SumFest 2022 performance (where he appeared with a goat) is a real topic for discussion, particularly his stage presence, his engagement with the crowd, his message and its remarkable delivery. He takes it in his stride and says:

“I can’t forget where I’m from and I can’t forget the Jamaican people. It’s a short flight back home from America so it’s doable. I’ve always enjoyed Reggae SumFest so being a part of it this year was an honour to me.”

In October 2022, Yaksta will follow through with a UK Tour and he already has studio sessions pre-booked with major record label artists in collaboration with Runabeat Music UK and Wuss Muzikk USA.

Yaksta's US-based manager, Sanjay from WussMusikk, is excited for Yaksta’s UK debut:

‘We can’t wait to hear what Yaksta creates in the studio with all these UK-based acts. Whatever happens, we will certainly expand his global audience and we will surely have a great experience in London. We are living our music dreams right now.’
