Yasi Hofer , actually Yasmin Ines Hofer (born October 25, 1992 in Ulm ), is a German guitarist and singer .

Live and act

Yasi Hofer started playing the violin at a young age and decided to play the electric guitar at the age of twelve . Through her guitar teacher at the time, she was introduced to the music and playing techniques of Steve Vai , which she then practiced for up to ten hours a day. When she was 14 years old, Steve Vai recognized her talent and invited her to join him on stage at a concert in the Ulm tent , where they both played the Vai Song Answers together. Further guest appearances in Europe followed.

At the age of 15 she began her music studies at the Musikhochschule Stuttgart and continued after three semesters at the Berklee College of Music . In 2008 she released the CD Sounds like Vai with five titles on the Ulm label Heckmann Sounds (Elmar Karl Heckmann) .

While studying at Berklee College, Hofer worked on her album Yasi , which was released in January 2014 on 36music , the label of drummer and producer Jürgen Schlachter, and on which musicians such as Hellmut Hattler and Philip Bynoe participated. Their debut tour through Germany started in February 2014.

In December 2016 her second 36music album Faith was released , which musically represents a further development with new elements. With guests like Marco Minnemann and again Helmut Hattler, well-known guest musicians were again involved in the recordings. Hofer then went on tour through Europe with her band. The last concert took place on November 9th, 2018 with a performance in the “Blue House” in Böblingen.

The album Freedom was released on January 10, 2019 , in which Hofer, in contrast to the previous albums , completely dispensed with guest musicians and keyboards.
