This installment of Artist Spotlight brings us Yvette Young, a musician with a uniquely brilliant compositional and playing style. Yvette is the guitarist and primary writer for Covet, a California-based math rock band. Covet’s intricate riffs create vivid soundscapes that transport listeners to another place, while her acoustic and vocal solo work contains darker, more personal themes.
In addition to being acquainted with a number of other instruments (including piano, violin, harp, and banjo), Yvette is also a skilled visual artist. She designs album covers, accepts art commissions, and paints custom guitars (including her own Strandberg).
In this interview, Yvette shares with us her experiences growing up as an artist in an area that emphasizes STEM, the therapeutic effects of music in her life, the roles teachers have played in her growth, her experiences being an Asian woman in music, and the projects she has been working on recently.
