Yetti Tabai grew up as an orphan in Lagos Nigeria. Like any other girl she craved a better connection with her father whilst she lived with her grandparents. She found herself amongst adults, and couldn’t really form a connection with her adopted family and she sought a better relationship with her father, yet he always made promises that he never kept. She often read about her father in the local newspapers who was working for the government. But she never had the opportunity to spend much time with him. This made her feel alone, rejected and she ended up homeless in Luton UK when she couldn’t afford her university fees. All of this led her to find companionship in creating music. She is now on a mission to help others like herself through her music. Smoke and mirrors captures the pains, hopes, and struggles of a typical relationship, between family members, paedophilia and a also includes energetic melodies with a great rendition of Afro-EDM with the track called Labu.
