About

Inna De Yard is the soulful heartbeat of modern roots reggae, a collective that bridges the gap between tradition and innovation. With a sound steeped in the raw, organic textures of Jamaica’s golden era, Inna De Yard reimagines reggae’s essence for a contemporary audience. Their music is a tapestry of lush harmonies, stripped-down acoustics, and socially conscious lyrics, drawing from the legacies of legends like The Wailers and Burning Spear while carving out a distinct identity. Emerging from Kingston’s vibrant music scene, Inna De Yard gained international acclaim with their self-titled 2017 album, a project that captured the raw energy of live, unplugged performances. Their breakthrough came with the viral success of tracks like “True Love” and “Young Girl,” which resonated deeply with global audiences. The collective’s ability to blend nostalgia with modern relevance has made them a cornerstone of the reggae revival movement. Inna De Yard’s cultural impact lies in their commitment to authenticity. By recording in open-air sessions and collaborating with icons like Ken Boothe and Winston McAnuff, they’ve preserved reggae’s roots while pushing its boundaries. Their 2021 album, *The Soul of Jamaica*, further cemented their status as torchbearers of the genre. Currently, Inna De Yard continues to tour globally, bringing their acoustic reggae sound to festivals and intimate venues alike. Their recent collaborations with emerging artists and their dedication to environmental activism highlight their evolving role as both musicians and advocates for change.
