Schoolgirl Sophie, who used the professional saxophonist as the subject of her project for Black History Month, got to meet YolanDa ahead of a concert at Millfield House, Edmonton.

But YolanDa - who moved to Tottenham 18 months ago - was just as delighted to meet her young fan.

“The meeting was such a great welcome to the area for me,” YolanDa said. “It was lovely to meet Sophie and she was so pleased. It is always great to meet people who listen to your music but it is also nice to have had such a personal impact on someone’s life.”

YolanDa is involved in youth projects as a celebrity ambassador for the The Prince’s Trust and also runs Yamaha music workshops.

She said: “I really like speaking with young people and seeing how they see the future and what they think they could do with their talent.Whoever you are, if you can pass on any jewels of advice to young people you should.”

YolanDa will perform tracks from her debut album April Showers, May Flowers, at her concert at Millfield Theatre on February 24.
