Founded in Boston in 2015, One night DJ and DC based producer/artist Corbin Canvas were vibing out to "King Kunta" by Kendrick Lamar. This night was full of lofty yet intellectual conversations and led to the idea of creating a new age musical group dedicated to high performance art with an inspirational sound. Corbin jokingly suggested "what about DJ & the Yams?"... And it stuck! Contrary to popular belief, the name has less to do with sweet potatoes and more to do with the West African native common yam being the mother of all tubers, across every continent. So no matter your culture, race, gender or socio-economic background: everyone is a yam! Oh and "once a yam, always a yam."
