::::|||| Yer Yang ||||::::
Yer Yang is a Hmong womyn who grew up in south Sacramento. She spent her last 5 years living and going to school in Berkeley and has recently moved back to the Sacramento area. Yer first found her passion for music her first year of college when she performed at a small open mic one of her student organizations (the Laotian American Student Representatives) hosted. During her third year of college, she started a small and informal band with one of her friends Phi Nguyen called Phyier [pronounced fire]. This acoustic duo started performing for their student organization SASC (Southeast Asian Student Coalition) and has since performed at several events on campus. Since Phi's recent departure to the east coast, Yer has been working on a small solo project. She hopes to be able to compose new music that can capture her experiences and emotions, music that her friends, family and supporters can relate to. For Yer, music is a tool to bring people together to just have a good time as well as a way to heal and continue moving forward.
