Warming the engines ahead of her debut EP, “dancing in my room”, landing April 17, a pop star in the making takes Wonderland behind the scenes of her very first show in London.

There’s your first kiss, your first day at school, your first pair of heels and eyeshadow palette… and then there’s the first time you step onto a stage to kick off your career as a soon-to-be pop star. You’ve probably pictured it before, right? While you’re still perfecting those shower vocals, however, one newcomer is already setting things in motion.

Following the release of January’s “Difficult”, her debut single, and “Big Deal”, YAZ now gears up for her first EP, “dancing in my room”, set to land on April 17. And what better way to ease into a new chapter than getting her toes wet on stage? On her first night performing in London, she brings Wonderland along for the ride, offering a glimpse behind the scenes. Keep scrolling…

Yaz, what’s currently on heavy rotation in your playlist?
Andy Gibb “‘An Everlasting Love”, Bread “Make It With You”, and “Rushin’ River Valley” by the Fruit Bats.

How do you prepare for a show – are there any rituals you swear by?
This is my first show, so I’m sure it will change. For now it’s hot water, lemon and honey and a pep talk.

What’s inspiring you most right now, and where do you feel you are creatively?
I’m having so much fun at the moment designing my avatar.. My new record is coming out on April 17th and I’ve been loving building the world around it – band, visuals and everything.

What does a perfect day look like to you right now?
Sunny, coffee, a run with my friends, LA breakfast burrito that should exist in London, vintage shopping and I find the best heels ever, go to the studio, then a tea with my girls in the evening.

What’s exciting you about what’s ahead, and where do you see your career taking you next?
I learned a lot from my first EP, which I released independently with my manager (Lidya Gumus, Rain London), and I feel clear now about what I’m making. I’m excited to see where this music lands and where it will take me, I’d love to support an artist on tour and play a festival this year.
