Bernard Yagee

Raised in Lebanon by a single mother amidst economic hardship and regional turmoil, Bernard Yagee found his voice early—starting classical guitar at six and writing his first songs by eight. After earning a Baccalaureate in General Sciences, he moved to the United States at 18 to pursue music full-time, earning a Bachelor of Music in Composition on a merit scholarship. Building a career thousands of miles from home tested his resolve. After surviving a sudden, life-threatening cardiac emergency and surgery, Yagee emerged with renewed purpose, channeling themes of faith, survival, and human connection into his songwriting. Today, Yagee’s genre-fluid catalog bridges intimate acoustic storytelling with pop, soul, rock, and progressive house. His work has amassed over 500,000 streams, led by favorites like "Perfect Melody," "Fade Before I'm Loved," "Oh To Be Loved," and "A Love To Last" With three EDM collaborations on Revealed Recordings—including "Heartstrings"—his music earned him a Times Square billboard placement, while his single "Before This Love" reached the Top 40 Pop semi-finals of the 2024 International Songwriting Competition. With over 130 live shows performed, Yagee has also drawn recognition from American Idol and NBC’s The Voice, appeared on Justice Central TV, and been featured in national media. Whether stripping a song down to voice and acoustic guitar or soaring over cinematic electronic production, Bernard Yagee makes music that leaves a lasting mark.
